And then shipped it to Houston?
The sod was planted a year before in Denver on a sod farm.
It was grown on plastic.
And then we shipped it to Dallas, Houston, and Atlanta from Denver.
And they harvested it at nighttime, put it in refrigerated trucks.
drive it whatever distance they had to go.
And the nice thing about the sawed-down plastic is it's growing in the exact same sand as what's in the stadium.
So we can come and cut it like a pizza, roll it off of the plastic, and you've got these healthy roots all intact.
And when we go late in the stadium, on the sand that's below, roots grow by gravity.
It's called gravitropism.
And it establishes faster, and you've got one less stress that you didn't add by cutting off all of its roots.
That's how it gets its water and nutrients.
I had a grad student that did work where we launched soccer balls at an angle at like 50 miles an hour, and then it bounces.
And we had high speed cameras and we tracked it.
And we found what's the mowing height for the cool season grasses versus the warm season grass.
So that when the ball comes in, it's going to bounce at the same angle and the same coefficient of restitution.
I had my students, undergrads, putting on soccer cleats and running back and forth, doing high steps.
If we're not abusing the grass and killing grass, we're not testing its limits.
And so we do a lot of that simulation of traffic and abuse.
And then we look at just things like plant growth regulators to
