But things might change when it's indoor.
All indoor stadiums will have cool season grass because of the reason I told you before.
It uses less sunlight.
So all indoor stadiums will use that.
But one thing that people didn't really realize, Mexico City.
Because when you think Mexico City, is it hot or cold?
Hot, hot, you think.
Yeah, so yes, Mexico City high.
So it used to have a different grass before.
And we did like an extension, University of Tennessee and Michigan State that we need to kind of like
provide like proof that we can put like a cool season grass in mexico city so it's also consistent with other stadiums because it used a grass called kikuyu grass they think it's a warm season grass but it is endemic to like a mountainous area in africa
That's what they were using.
They weren't using Bermuda grass because Bermudas couldn't survive because of the warm season grass.
And then they didn't really think about, maybe we can use like a cool season grass, Kentucky bluegrass and perennial raggrass.
So we went down there three years ago in 2023.
We grew the sod, like a test sod for them.
They tested it in the stadium.
So now when you're seeing, what you'll see during the opening event is that new grass, Kentucky bluegrass, perennial raggrass mix.
Yeah.
Yeah.
