Who hasn't walked, jogged, biked or driven past the Bluffton University football stadium and wondered what it looks like from the 50-yard-line on the home bleacher side.

Here's that look. The Icon visited the field earlier in the week and came home with several photos, which you may view below this story.

(The final photo is an artist's rendition of the completed field. The sixth photo shows a pile of turf cut up on the sidelines.)

The project, called Alumni Field project, is to install artificial turf and resurface and upgrade the running track and field event areas at Salzman Stadium.
   
Bluffton alumni and friends have contributed more than $750,000 for the improvements.

The project includes replacing the stadium’s current grass field with FieldTurf lined for football and soccer; track and field event-area upgrades; and work on adjacent parking, sidewalks and a donor recognition area.

The artificial surface will also reduce annual maintenance costs, while the resurfaced track and field event areas will allow Bluffton to host the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference meet, and possibly larger high school meets.
