16 2002 G-USA Men's SOccerTOllllllllllt Robert R. Hermann Stadium

The 1999 season marked a significant time period tor Saint Louis University's soccer program as both men's and women's teams returned to the newly reno• vated Robert R. Hermann Stadium and enjoyed the ben• efits of a true home field advantage as both won Conference USA championships. The Billikens christened Hermann Stadium by knocking off defending national champion and presea• son No. 1 Indiana 3-2 on Aug. 21, 1999, before a record on-campus crowd of 6,517. The project began on March 17, 1999, with the removal of the synthetic surface, and the sod was laid on May 25. The new surface is a mixture of blue grasses that covers an area of 155,000 square feet. The Billikens play on a regulation 120 x 75-yard soccer pitch. The surface sits upon an 8,400-ton root zone com• posed of 90 percent sand and 10 percent peat moss. A four-inch gravel drainage blanket is composed of 3,100 tons of pea gravel. The drainage system is capable of fil• tering 10 inches of rain in an hour. The grass is watered with a sprinkler system that features 70 sprinkler heads connected by approximately 1.5 miles of piping. The addition of permanent seating on the east side of the stadium, along with expanding the main grand• stand, increased the facility's seating capacity to 6,050 from 2,400. Munie Outdoor Services of Caseyville, Ill., was the contractor tor the project under the direction of the University's grounds and materials management office.
