Shout out to all the Ops staff along with my crew for what the last 2 weeks has entailed. Crazy cold temps, snow removal out of the stadium, rain tarps off after 7 days down, and then grow tarps off on Wednesday. Have a little tip burn, but ready for the Divisional! Go Chiefs!

Took rain/snow tarps off yesterday and took heat from 70-90 from yesterday AM to today. Rolling 62* in the top inch under the grow blankets. Grass is a little yellowed from no sun for 7 days, but we have a beautiful sunny day today to head the right direction! Been a crazy week.

Gonna be a crazy next 7-10 days of weather in KC. Covering the field with grow tarps first then rain tarps on top to get through the ice and snow forecasted, then take rain tarps off once really cold temps pass. Gotta trap as much heat as possible without getting disease.

These guys do incredible work and are even better people! Also have to love the company name!.
Fidler on the Roof KC offers free inspections to ensure your roof is winter ready. We physically inspect a roof and also use drones to get a comprehensive view. In addition, thermal image scans provide an alternative perspective, revealing any heat loss.

One of these days I’m going to write a book. Some parts will be funny, some serious, and some completely mind blowing. This industry is a wild ride.

Wonder how many hours I will end up behind the actual live event by the time this buffering gets over on @Netflix. Brutal.

The guys crushed it today. Mowed, sprayed fungicide, pencil tined entire field, watered, grow tarps on, and then grow lights. Time to grow some grass!

10 games down and on to the next. 500 lbs pre-germ and 800 lbs dry seed went down this morning. Mixed the pre-germ in the grain mixer, put it out with the Land Pride spreader, spiked it in with our @Redexim seeder, and dragged it in with an old piece of turf.
