Manhattan, KS. — Nemaha Sports Construction has been recognized as a 2026 Field Facilities Award recipient in the Multi-Field Facility category by the American Sports Builders Association (ASBA). The award honors the company’s exceptional craftsmanship and expertise demonstrated during the construction of the baseball and softball complex at CiCo Park in Manhattan, Kansas.
The ASBA, a national organization representing builders, designers, and suppliers of sports and recreational facilities, annually recognizes projects that exemplify excellence in sports facility construction. Award-winning projects are evaluated by a panel of industry professionals based on criteria including layout and design, site work, drainage, base construction, surface quality, amenities, innovation, and overall project impression.
The CiCo Park complex was developed to provide athletes and community members with high-quality baseball and softball facilities designed for long-term performance, durability, and playability. The project required extensive coordination and attention to detail across multiple fields and supporting infrastructure, resulting in a facility that serves athletes of all ages and skill levels.
“We’re incredibly grateful to have been part of this project for the City of Manhattan,” said Jeff Emanuel, President of Nemaha Sports Construction. “This complex will have a lasting impact on the community and provide quality playing surfaces for generations of athletes.
