Untitled Document Shedding light on Stankowski by Jon Stemmle Over the years, Stankowski Field has offered students a place to play myriad sports outdoors. The MU football team used it to practice before its 1997 Holiday Bowl. Faculty and staff use it as a place to walk and run between classes and over lunch breaks.
Students use it to play basketball at any hour of the day.
With all that use, Stankowski Field requires considerable maintenance. Care of the facility ranges from resealing the basketball court and trash collection to unlocking restrooms and changing light bulbs on lamp posts around the field. This latter task recently caught the eye of the Stankowski faithful. There are two tiers of lights on the posts, a lower tier 25 feet above ground, and an upper level 120 feet above the field. Greg Watts, superintendent of Maintenance, has his crews change the bulbs, as needed, in the lower tier of lights.
