| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles SMG at Reliant Park in Houston, Texas, which includes Reliant Stadium, Reliant Center, Reliant Arena, and the Reliant Astrodome and head groundskeeper Rodney Griffin. Describes the moveable trays that grow the turfgrass, stating that "the trays are well designed, with sturdy metal sides that are shaped at the bottom for moving by forklift...Each tray contains 4 inches of 80 percent sand and 20 percent peat mixed with mesh fibers for added stability." Discusses maintenance of the turf, explaining that "when the trays have been grouped together for an extended time, the turf will intertwine and must be cut apart with cement saws so the trays can be separated." |
