Frazed in May, four soccer matches in June, two lateral line leaks, tee blowout on mainline, zone valve blowout as well. A couple of camps to go but pleased with the result. Now to dial it in the first home match on 8/31!
One of these days little man is going to realize I’m just a groundskeeper and not a super hero with a bunch of tractors (everything is a tractor)..I’ll take it for now though 😎

8/23 we frazed mowed pre concert, flooring went down on 8/27, concert load began on 8/28 which included 110 (55 for load in and out)trips with semi trucks loaded down with steel for stage and speaker/ light towers loaded and unloaded at mid field for quicker setup and tear down.
Big thanks to
