Contractors Brett Dunn and Trey Hicks prepare to lay Bermuda grass on the field in front of the fitness center on Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Nov. 21. Although the construction will be completed in December, the field will not be open to the public until July 2012 so the grass has an ample amount of time to grow and root itself in the ground.
