@randy_d4 No….especially in January. Not much N going out with our temps. Everything is tailored to our schedule.

@CWallEastSide Pretty is secondary. If footing is good, I don’t care what it looks like. We will always try to achieve both, but it doesn’t always happen. Lol

@bwp253 We added the heat system in 2016 and have added grow lights over time. They give us all the tools necessary to attempt to provide the best surface possible in any conditions. We are fortunate for the support we receive.

@ECCSuper77 KC weather is a wild ride. We really have to plan out heat up, heat down, and try to keep it in the sweet spot if at all possible. It takes quite awhile to heat up or cool. Lot of time spent looking at Pod info.

@SixTigers9_7 It will over time. Temps aren’t helping early next week. Biggest priority will be to get it stood up after being matted for 7 days with tarps and weight of ice and snow. It’s better than I thought it may be. We have never had to cover with rain tarps for 7 days. New experience.

@bwp253 The profession and technology has grown leaps and bounds in my 30 years of growing grass. It’s fun to push the envelope and see what we can do.

@BigPapaPK Yes, we all talk. We all know the challenges of KC and call each other for 2nd opinions. It is a special group here.

@bearded_turfguy We are about 68* 2 3/4” down. Going to try to keep it around 65 that far down the whole way through. I look at the SGL Pods about 30 times a day. Lol

Great job my friend! Looks amazing!
Glad we stayed late yesterday to finish end zone orange. Couple more things to paint today and #Broncoscountry is ready for Sunday.
