Turf source identified
Additional equipment/supplies available from multiple vendors
Need manpower to install turf and nets
Phase 2
Money needs to raised
Pad expansion design complete
Equipment source identified
Need trucks to move pad materials and equipment
Need manpower to construct pads, install turf and nets
