Abstract/Contents:Profiles the Municipal Stadium, in Kansas City, Kansas, stating that the grounds crew "usually had a week to turn the field from baseball to football." States that after the last baseball game "[the] crew started working as soon as the team left the field...[the crew] put down the pre-germinated seed that [they] had premixed with Milorganite fertilizer so it would flow out of the spreader." Mentions the All-Star game held at the Municipal Stadium and explains the preparations that went into the field, stating that "the field looked even better than a golf green - it looked like the surface of a deep green pool table."
