Kennesaw State University – Fred Stillwell Stadium Synthetic Turf Renovation

Division I Baseball Field Conversion to Shaw Sports Turf B1K System

Square Footage: 126,543
Product: Shaw B1K
Location: Kennesaw, GA

In 2025, Advanced Sports Group partnered with Kennesaw State University to complete a full natural-to-synthetic turf conversion at Fred Stillwell Stadium, home of the Division I KSU Owls baseball program. This high-performance renovation was designed to deliver more consistent playability, enhanced durability, and significantly reduced maintenance—all essential for a top-tier collegiate athletics program.

Project Scope

Our team executed a comprehensive field redevelopment that included:

• Full demolition of the existing natural grass playing surface

• Excavation and removal of outdated materials

• Drainage upgrades to improve field performance and water management

• Precision laser grading for a flawless, uniform base

• Engineered stone base construction for long-term stability

• Installation of Shaw Sports Turf’s premier B1K baseball system

• Custom sewn-in KSU logos and branding elements for a true home-field identity

Why This Upgrade Matters

The conversion to the Shaw Sports Turf B1K system ensures:

• Elite-level consistency across every square foot of the playing surface

• Faster recovery after weather, allowing for more practices and games

• Lower long-term maintenance costs

• Improved safety and performance for student-athletes

• A professional-grade look that enhances the stadium experience for players and fans

Serving the Next Generation of Owls

Fred Stillwell Stadium is a cornerstone of KSU Athletics, and this upgrade gives the Owls a field aligned with the standards of Division I baseball. This project reflects KSU’s commitment to excellence while equipping athletes with a surface built for speed, precision, and year-round play.
