Chandler, AZ (PRWEB) May 14, 2008

Phoenix based Creative Environments Design & Landscape, the #1 Landscape Design / Build Company for phoenix landscape design, was chosen by the Arizona Rattlers to install their new practice field.

Creative Environments created an arena football field for the Arizona Rattlers. The Rattlers had an aggressive timetable for the design and installation of the turf for the field before they started training camp. They also needed turf that would stand up to the rigorous demands of training camp. Creative Environments was chosen because of their ability to provide a superior product and meet this aggressive schedule.

“We moved into our facility 48 hours before we started training camp,” said Rattlers President Blake Edwards. “Creative Environments stepped up big for us, and were able to convert a baseball infield into a regulation-sized Arena Football field in days, not weeks. Our players love the new field, and we would definitely recommend Creative Environments for any project, big or small.”

“We are proud to have been chosen to design and install the field for the Arizona Rattlers,” said John Waters, Principal of Creative Environments. “As with all of our clients, we listened to their unique needs and developed a professional landscape design to achieve their objectives within a short timeline. We are thrilled that they have found it to be such a great addition to their facility.”

Minneapolis, New York, Hudson, WI (PRWEB) October 23, 2007

Former MN Gophers Football, Track and Field Star joins Lommen Abdo Law Firm; Lee Hutton III brings sports representation to firm’s growing entertainment practice plus considerable trial skills.

A former Golden Gopher letterman has joined the law firm of Lommen, Abdo, Cole, King & Stageberg, P.A., effective October 1, 2007. Lee Hutton III, who played for the Gophers between 1994 and 1999, brings sports representation of players from the NFL and area coaches to the firm’s growing entertainment practice, plus considerable litigation skills in construction law, products liability, premises liability, advertising law and other areas. Hutton was previously at Johnson & Condon, P.A., in Edina, MN, where he was an Associate Attorney in the Liability and Litigation Group (2003-2007).

“Lommen Abdo is an ideal place for me to grow both my skills as a litigator and my practice in sports and entertainment law. There are not many law firms that would allow me to do both,” Hutton says. “The firm’s substantial relationships throughout the entertainment industry and the corporate community provide a great foundation for my sports clients to help them further their careers and their businesses. But I’m also excited to be joining a law firm with a history of successful litigation that dates back more than 70 years.”

With entertainment law offices in New York and Minneapolis, the law firm boasts one of the largest entertainment practices in the Midwest. Lee will further expand its roster of music, film, game, literary and other intellectual property issues with his experience in player- and sports-related contracts, says Ken Abdo, Co-Chair of the entertainment division at the firm.

“We believe Lee will grow his already significant sports practice as part of Lommen Abdo’s legal entertainment services,” Abdo notes. “Lee has the grid iron-honed drive, talent and skill. We’re thrilled to have him on our team. This is definitely important yardage for our practice.”

“Gopher football fans will remember number 3 for his aggressive and competitive spirit on the field,” says Margie Bodas, Attorney/V.P. Practice Management for Lommen Abdo. “His outgoing nature, strong communication skills, and community participation–including his affiliation with the Norwegian Norske Torske Clubben, perhaps the only membership held by an African-American in Minnesota — make him a great asset for current and future clients of the firm. His substantial business trial experience and sports practice that serves players, coaches, educational organizations and local nightclub establishments make him a double threat.”

Hutton’s clients and colleagues expect the best and get it from him

Those same sentiments were reflected in remarks from former and current clients and longtime colleagues:

“Lee always has done a good job for us,” says Jim Clark of Great Plains Supply Co., based in Oakdale, MN, who retained Hutton for about 30 cases of water intrusion where the company was charged with water-related damages as a subcontractor in the residential home building industry. “He’s aggressive and smart and has done very well defending our company.”

“Things really changed once we started working with Lee,” explains Jim Jordan, a general contractor with the 12-year-old Prairieland Homes company in Mankato, MN. “We were working with other legal representation but felt like we were not gaining any traction. Lee really charged ahead and he really knows his stuff on construction litigation. He’s aggressive, knowledgeable and a good communicator, plus he’s enjoyable to work with.”

“Lee’s always shown leadership ability, from the time he was on student committees in college to his professional duties as an attorney,” says Darrell Thompson, who broadcasts Gophers football games for WCCO Radio and who also is the Executive Director of Bolder Options, a youth program that helps young juvenile offenders. “I’ve know him for 10 years and he’s very capable of getting things done, whether it’s a reconciliation process or working with sports and agents. Lee’s got great capacity for accomplishment and goes above and beyond what’s required of him. He has always been someone you could trust to get things done.”

About Lee Hutton III

A Texas native, Hutton came to the University of Minnesota on an athletic scholarship and had an outstanding academic and athletic career while at the U. He was recruited by Coach Wacker and played under Coach Glen Mason. He also met his future wife at the university. The couple has two children and lives in Brooklyn Park.

Minneapolis, MN (Vocus/PRWEB) January 27, 2011

The University of Minnesota has selected FieldTurf for the outdoor practice field area at the Gophers? Gibson-Nagurski Football Complex. This marks the third FieldTurf field on campus for the Gophers. FieldTurf was installed at TCF Bank Stadium in June of 2009, and was installed at the Gibson Nagurski Indoor Football Complex in 2010. All FieldTurf fields that are a part of the Gibson Nagurski Football Complex have replaced previous Astroplay surfaces.

?The new FieldTurf surface will be a big improvement and is consistent with what is in TCF Bank Stadium and on our indoor field,? said Minnesota Associate Athletic Director Scott Ellison. ?It?s another first-class FieldTurf upgrade for our football program.?

?FieldTurf has enjoyed a longstanding relationship with Minnesota Gopher athletics, and that is something we are extremely proud of,? said FieldTurf President Eric Daliere. ?We will continue to provide the University of Minnesota with a playing surface that is far-and-away the best and safest in the industry. And we?re delighted in the confidence that has continued to be shown to us by the entire Gopher administration.?

The Gibson-Nagurski Football Complex opened in 1985, and was named in honor of Gopher greats George Gibson and Bronko Nagurski. The complex is a state-of-the-art facility that houses the Golden Gopher Football offices, team meeting rooms, equipment room, training room and the players? lounge. It also includes a 12,000 square-foot multi-level weight training facility along with medical/training facilities. In addition, UM?s Football Hall of Fame, which honors the tradition of Gopher football, is also housed in the Gibson-Nagurski Complex.

FieldTurf dominates both the NCAA and NFL. The list of major universities who play their home games on FieldTurf include Nebraska, Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Washington, Washington State, Oregon State, West Virginia, Kansas State, Missouri, Texas, Texas Tech, Iowa, Boston College, Rutgers, Syracuse, Cincinnati and Louisville. Two-thirds of all NFL teams utilize FieldTurf in their stadiums and/or practice facilities.

Charleston, WV (PRWEB) August 05, 2011

A relatively small piece of synthetic turf has made a huge difference for the athletes and their families at George Washington High School (GW). Turf Solutions Group, leaders in recreational land design and development, built a synthetic-turf practice area for George Washington High School, giving the highly-rated football team a home field.

Faced with the challenge of finding adequate practice space for their growing athletic programs, the Redskins Booster Club looked online and found their solution in Turf Solutions Group (TSG).

?I saw that they were from Peoria, Illinois and thought ?Oh my gosh, I don?t even know where that is.?,? said booster club member Pam Workman, who has three children attending the school. ?But once I made the call, I was very impressed with them.?

Workman said the school had been trying for years to convert its entire field to synthetic turf, but couldn?t find the funding or the design to satisfy all programs.

TSG consultant Gary Olson and project manager Mike Ryan met with administrators at GW, and it was decided the best course of action was to build a practice area with synthetic turf adjacent to the on-campus football field.

?We couldn?t afford to do the entire field, but they treated us like we were their biggest client,? Workman said of TSG. ?They did everything they said they would do for the price they said they would do it.?

Between the back of one end zone and the edge of the running track, TSG installed just more than 17,000 square feet of TSG Pro-4200 at a total cost that stayed within the booster club?s budget. The result has allowed the football, soccer and lacrosse teams increased practice time with the added benefit of preserving the actual playing field for home games.

Previously, the football team ? annually one of the top programs in Class AAA ? played its home games at a shared, municipal facility in downtown Charleston. For the 2010 season, coach Steve Edwards? Redskins played home games on campus. The Redskins posted a regular-season record of 10-0.

?It did a lot for our community and our school,? Workman said. ?Being able to play at home, especially in rivalry games, it feels like our house now.?

Austin, TX (PRWEB) August 09, 2011

The Austin office of Wortham Insurance & Risk Management is proud to announce the addition of Dan Neil to its life insurance practice. Even as the largest independent insurance broker in Texas, Wortham?s approach is personal care and deep relationships with all the corporate and individual customers who use its insurance services. Dan Neil embodies this relationship-based focus and augments the Wortham Austin office.

Wortham has been in business in Texas since 1915 and its 525 employees statewide sit in five different offices .

?We are thrilled to have Dan join our team at Wortham Austin,? said Rob Bridges, Managing Partner, Wortham-Austin. ?Dan exemplifies the kind of person we want representing our clients.?

?When I was playing in the NFL, a lot of people tried to sell me a variety of life insurance products. I was always skeptical because I felt like they were simply trying to make a commission and were not looking out for my best interest. I was drawn to Wortham because of its unique business model which is one that doesn?t compensate brokers on a commission basis. This allows me to focus on the client?s needs and not my needs,? said Neil. ?Wortham practices the business approach I respect most – long term relationships, involvement in the community, and top notch client service.?

Dan Neil has deep experience in the service industry, is very involved in the Austin community and continues his commitment to sports, hosting a local sports radio program. This follows an eight season NFL career with the Denver Broncos, including two Super Bowl rings. He played professional football after four years of college football at University of Texas where he was a two time All American.

New York, NY (Vocus) April 10, 2009

Experienced sports and entertainment lawyer Ed Schauder has been selected to head up a new Haynes and Boone, LLP practice focusing on the specific needs of the sports and entertainment industries. The Sports and Entertainment practice at Haynes and Boone is designed to assist sponsors, franchise owners, film-makers, producers, athletes, celebrities and other performers with their specialized needs, drawing on the full resources of the firm.

As head of the Haynes and Boone Sports and Entertainment Law Group, Mr. Schauder will lead a team selected from the firm’s almost 550 lawyers, across more than 30 practice areas and 12 offices. “The support of my colleagues here at Haynes and Boone is a reminder of why I chose to be a part of this firm, Mr. Schauder says. “And the strong positive reaction from my friends and clients in the sports and entertainment industries has made the opening of this practice even more exciting.”

“Ed has developed a unique approach to sports marketing that has been embraced by some of the most storied teams and individuals in modern history,” says New York partner Gil Porter, who oversees the Sports and Entertainment Law Group. “We are very excited to add this practice capability to our firm, and to have Ed leading the effort on behalf of our clients. His reputation and experience in this area, coupled with his sophisticated corporate and transactional background, make Ed the perfect choice to lead this growth practice.”

“It is important to note that our practice does not compete with sports and entertainment agencies,” Mr. Schauder says. “Rather, we provide tactical and legal support for select agents, serving as a second set of eyes to assist the agents in developing smart structures that enhance the value that the agent brings to the client. Our broad and deep knowledge of legal issues and trends, coupled with our industry-wide relationships, make us a valuable part of the arsenal available to assist valued agent clients.”

Mr. Schauder pioneered techniques for securing personal licensing rights, and has negotiated licenses, corporate sponsorships, endorsements and memorabilia transactions. In the film industry, his experience includes financing of film production, securing intellectual property rights associated with the project, all aspects of film production and licensing and merchandising rights associates with the film project.
