足球場草坪的維護管理對於賽事品質有密切相關進而影響運動員的表現，特別是草坪會受到賽事活動辦理或是天候因素造成毀損，致使其維護管理需要更多專業資源，因此，本文彙整過往相關文獻探討足球場天然草坪維護管理所需資源並以高雄國家體育場為案例分析其維護管理事務，重要結果顯示草坪管理事務會因為場館本身的定位及使用情況而有所不同，同時，管理型態可以分為自行管理或是委外管理，管理資源則包括專業人力及作業空間，養護管理工作內涵包括土壤測試、施肥管理、割草、澆灌作業、打洞、補植、鋪沙及排水、病蟲害管理、除雜草管理等，而國家體育場草坪養護工作進一步涵蓋了疏根及切根、打孔後之拖網作業、滾壓作業等。此外，本文也針對未來管理實務及研究議題提出建議。

Natural turf maintenance in the soccer field has a substantial impact upon quality of the soccer game. Furthermore, the condition of the playing surface would influence player performance as well. Also, weather and events hosted caused deterioration of the grass field. This means that maintenance of the playing surface requires more dedicated management resources. Thus, the aim of this paper was to analyze turf maintenance issues in the soccer stadium. Relevant literatures were examined and the National Stadium was selected as the subject of this paper. The findings showed that positioning of the stadium and level of user performance would determine required maintenance efforts. Two main approaches were proposed for the provision of maintenance program; to either employ professional staff and purchase essential machines or secure a contractor for natural turf maintenance. A solid maintenance scheme should include soil testing, fertilization, mowing, watering requirements, aeration, returfing, topdressing, pester management, drainage and weeds management. Furthermore, practices, such as slicing mating, coring and compacted rolling, were identified in the maintenance scheme. In addition, this paper presented some recommendation for the managerial practice and future study.
