KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs showdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday, the team's grounds crew is hard at work prepping GEHA Field.
Travis Hogan, head groundskeeper for the Chiefs, provided some insight on the techniques being used this week on the field.
A lot of growth in the last week. Heat has been adjusted back and forth from 70-75, grow tarps for 7 straight days along with grow lights moved around. My staff is amazing. They do an awesome job! We will try to keep growing all the way thru Thursday. Game #11 coming up! pic.twitter.com/d5IVDVgRia
