| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles maintenance practices at County Stadium in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Mentions "patterns" in the turf. States that "reel mowers are the key to executing the patterns...The lighter and darker sections are created by light reflecting off the blades. As spectators face the field, the turf appears light where the mower moved away from them; dark where the mower traveled toward them." Concludes that "because patterns are viewed from every angle by spectators, TV cameras and print photographers, the aesthetics of each pattern are gauged from all angles before a go ahead is given for game use. It takes a special touch to execute the patterns because they must be so precise." |
