One of my favorite events each year is the ASBA meeting. The closing dinner honors the top facilties of the year, in both tennis and track and field. This year’s Track Facilities winners were the Icahn Stadium for outdoor track facility and the Birmingham Crossplex, for the indoor track and field facility. Both were built by MONDO USA, Inc. 


The ASBA is a trade organization dedicated to professionalized the sports building industry. There are lots of good people who have made it their life’s work to make that facility down the street from you a safer place to job, play soccer or train for the shot put.

 ASBA Honors Distinguished Sports Facilities

Ellicott City , MD – The American Sports Builders Association (ASBA), the national organization for builders and suppliers of materials for athletic facilities, has announced the winners of its annual awards. Awards are presented each year to facilities built by ASBA members, which best exemplify construction excellence.
 
Awards are presented in various categories: Tennis Courts, Running Tracks, Sports Fields and Track and Field Facilities. Within each category there are divisions; for example, the Tennis Court category recognizes facilities in Indoor, Residential and Outdoor divisions.
 
Additional honors are given in the ‘Green’ competition, for award-winning athletic facilities that use the most eco-friendly design, construction and operating techniques.
 
Presentation of award plaques was made at the Technical Meeting, recently held in San Antonio, Texas.
