Some field projects are best understood at ground level. You see the turf fibers, the field markings, the goals, and the details that make a surface ready for play. Others need a wider view.
At Groves High School in Savannah, Georgia, the wider view tells the full story. From above, the completed football field and multi-use field read as one connected athletic environment. They show the scale of the project, the value of planning for more than one use, and the role a well-built field system can play for a school community.
Advanced Sports Group partnered with McKnight Construction to deliver the project as a turnkey installation, from early design and excavation through final installation and finishing. The result is a dedicated football field and a separate multi-use field that together create 181,092 square feet of synthetic-turf athletic space for Groves High School.
With new drone footage now available, we can finally show the project the way it was meant to be seen: as a complete field environment built to work hard for students, teams, and the broader school community.
One project, two purpose-built fields
The Groves High School project includes an 81,634-square-foot football field and a 99,458-square-foot multi-use field. Those numbers tell part of the story, but the real value is in the flexibility that two distinct athletic spaces can provide.
A football field has a clear purpose. It needs to be ready for practices, games, school spirit, and the moments that bring a community together on a Friday night. A multi-use field has a different rhythm. It needs to support a wide range of activity and stay ready for the changing demands of a busy school calendar.
Building both spaces as part of one coordinated project allows the campus to support more activity at the same time. It gives athletes, coaches, and school staff more options when scheduling practices and events. It also creates a clearer athletic destination for the Groves community, with field space designed around the way a high school program actually operates.
From the air, the relationship between the two fields is easy to see. The football field and multi-use field are separate, but they work together. That is what thoughtful sports construction should do. It should turn a collection of individual surfaces into a more useful whole.
A turnkey approach from the ground up
The finished field is what everyone sees, but it is only one part of the construction process. The Groves project began with the planning, preparation, and coordination required to deliver a complete installation. Advanced Sports Group worked with McKnight Construction through the project’s design, excavation, installation, and finishing stages.
That turnkey approach matters because field performance depends on more than the material visible at the surface. It depends on a coordinated process, clear communication, and a project team that understands how individual construction stages connect to the finished result.
For ASG, the goal is to make that process feel organized for the owner and construction partner. A field project has many moving pieces, and each one must be managed with the end use in mind. At Groves, the end use was clear: deliver two durable athletic spaces prepared for regular school and athletic activity.
The completed fields use Shaw Sports Turf Legion Pro 2.25. The system was selected for a project that needed durable, safe, all-weather playability. That combination is especially important at a high school facility, where the fields must be ready for a demanding calendar and a wide range of athletes and activities.
The value of seeing the whole project
Photography is essential to telling a field story, but drone footage adds a different kind of evidence. It gives a viewer the perspective to understand the full scale of the work and the way each space relates to the next.
For Groves High School, the new aerial footage shows the complete layout in a way that ground-level images cannot. A high, wide pass can show the football field and multi-use field together. A lower flyover can follow the lines and geometry of the field. A slow orbit can reveal the relationship between the facilities and the surrounding campus.
That perspective makes the project more tangible for people who were not there during construction. It helps parents, athletes, alumni, and community members see what has been built for their school. It also gives future facility owners a clearer picture of the planning and precision that go into a full-scope athletic field project.
The goal is not simply a dramatic video. The goal is to help people understand the work. The drone footage provides a complete view of the field system, from the surrounding campus to the finished surfaces that will host practices, games, and school events.
Building a continuing partnership in Savannah
The Groves High School project marked Advanced Sports Group’s second partnership with Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools. That continued relationship is meaningful to our team.
Strong partnerships are built through the day-to-day work of a project: responsive communication, disciplined coordination, and an understanding that the owner needs more than a finished product. They need a field system that supports their people, their programs, and their long-term plans.
At Groves, the result is visible from every angle. At ground level, it is a football field and a multi-use field ready for use. From above, it is a connected athletic environment with room to serve a busy school community.
That is what Advanced Sports Group aims to build. We are field builders focused on quality, value, and the long-term performance of the spaces we deliver. The new drone footage gives us a chance to share the full story at Groves High School, but the real story will keep being written every time the fields are put to use.
