Updates by Maneater photographers from the final stages of the Tour of Missouri between Jefferson City and St. Louis.

The Department of Recreation Services and Facilities removed two sections of the construction fence that had surrounded Stankowski Field during the installation of new turf Friday, allowing access to the field. The openings are on the east side of the facility, near the sand volleyball courts, and on the west side, near Maryland Avenue.

The department said the field is open for limited play by currently enrolled students and Student Recreation Complex members only and that some work remains to be done before the field is completely opened.

"Work yet to be completed in the coming weeks includes repairing and replacing the fencing around the fields and along Maryland Avenue, as well as installing new drinking fountains," a news release from the department said.

The field's grand opening event will be called Stankowski Stomp, the department said in an e-mail to club and recreational sport participants June 22.

"After the fill is added to the field, we have to pack down the fill by walking on the field and getting it ready for play," the e-mail said. " We want to make sure your experience when we start playing is not like running through mud."

The e-mail also said the event that will include free t-shirts for those in attendance and music. A time and date for the event has not yet been set.
