Smokies Stadium, home of the Double-A Tennessee Smokies in Kodak, Tenn., was honored as STMA’s Baseball Field of the Year. The field has been maintained by BrightView for the last three years.

“It’s an honor to be recognized on a national level from a prestigious organization such as the Sports Turf Managers Association,” said Anthony DeFeo, Operations Manager for BrightView’s Sports Turf Management.

DeFeo has been the Head Groundskeeper at Smokies Stadium, promoted as “America’s Friendliest Ballpark,” since BrightView completely renovated the field. DeFeo and his team started from scratch and installed a new playing surface, which included a switch to Lattitude 36 Bermuda grass.

The Minnesota Twins have a grass field. There’s no reason for an agricultural university to have a turf anything. You don’t have to defend it. I don’t know a single UT fan irl that likes your turf field.
