BEHIND THE SCENES with a College Football Turf Crew

What goes on behind the scenes on a division one college football field?
Last week I got the chance to spend some time with the wonderful turf crew at Iowa State University and follow them around on one of the best natural turf fields in the country. Today they were painting the field but beyond that, we look at the Kentucky Bluegrass playing surface and in the future I hope to showcase even more of their hard work and dedication to their craft.

[@brian7240]

A golf course superintendent series would be awesome!

[@suntitan4419]

The unseen heroes of football are these grounds guys that keep the fields looking great nice to see them get some recognition

[@GabeSchultz1]

YES!! No one does it better or has a better playing surface than Iowa State. The turf is absolutely amazing.

[@ltlfamily]

I vote for a Field of Dreams trip in that Iowa cornfield next.

[@pauljames5703]

The Field of Dreams was ruined this spring. Damn MLB and new owners.

[@ltlfamily]

@@pauljames5703 The Turf is ruined?

[@pauljames5703]

rbiersdorff, they stopped taking care of the actual field. We went there for the SandLot/MLB All Star game and the grass was nothing special. The ball wouldn’t even roll with how tall the grass was.

[@ltlfamily]

@@pauljames5703 Sounds like a Ryan Knorr mow is needed.

[@danieltillman3858]

This video was so fun! On of my favorite parts of my week is getting the kids to bed after a long day, then crawling into my bed, putting in the earbuds, and relaxing to a new Knorr video, no matter the content. The production is always top notch. 👍🏻

[@jsdpe]

Combining two of my favorite things-lawn care and college football. COOL. VIDEO.

[@cavumine]

It must be really gratifying to talk with fellas that are as picky, as dedicated as you are!

[@trevormuggeridge4560]

First Aussie 😁. Thanks for showing us around Ryan. A great time for you. 😎👍👍

[@jkmarshek]

Can't like this video enough and I'm super excited for more...I was born in Ames and remember going to games at Jack Trice with my grandpa who worked for the university at that time. So cool to see behind the scenes.

[@internationalgreenkeepers]

So happy to see our indusrty being publicised! Top effort

[@LawnRight]

Great to see behind the scenes Ryan. Their dedication is easy to see. That grass looks superb.

[@wcombs]

As I watched ISU beat my Sooners this weekend I couldn’t help but notice the beauty of the turf. It was gorgeous. So this video was timely. Thanks.

[@Boomer_Sooner]

Boomer!!

[@TripleAstyle1]

So they seed before a game..... I think its safe to say you can walk on your grass after seeding. When the grass is sprouting maybe take it easy, but this proves the seed doesn't care at ALL! GREAT inside video!

[@jasonochoada3083]

Brought back fond memories of tearing down the goalpost amd carrying out of the stadium to town after a big win 😂😂😂. Geeze like wow 22 yrs ago. How time flies! 👍

[@zmjackson1]

One of your best videos! Pros sure will run circles around many DIY. We could all learn a thing or two. I think I’ll paint my PRG tomorrow.

[@LawnDad]

Very cool to see the behind the scenes. Job well done. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@rymaster4385]

Very cool. Can’t wait for more sports field videos.

[@licia9marie]

Love love the crossover of lawn care and football! 🏈🏈

[@TimHayes74]

Loved the video! Really enjoyed seeing what goes into getting the main attraction of the football game ready!

[@JAT922]

Great video. I am an ISU alum myself. I remember when i went there it was still astro turf. Glad they switched to real turf.

[@NathanWatne]

Awesome video, man! Iowa State alum here. Appreciate this video!

[@JEK]

I could spend all day watching groundskeepers. Thanks Ryan.

[@rclsu13]

I would definitely be interested in more videos from pro sports fields and golf courses. I’ve found myself following alot more baseball turf crews on twitter and ig this year. It’s art.

[@velcroman11]

I would really like to see more videos about how the lawn crew look after such a large lawn

[@matthewrobillard7319]

Amazing! I look forward to watching more of these type of videos too.

[@Dubya1886]

I wish I could upvote twice for the comment on the big win against OU! -OKST grad

[@LawnTips]

Love it bro. This was awesome.

[@abhinavprakash007]

Yo that's my alma mater! Love your channel love your videos love Iowa State love the Midwest love LAWNS!

[@SuperTA329]

Just picked up your guide. Thanks for all you do. Appreciate you. 👍🏻🍻

[@tylerljohnson]

The turf crew at Iowa State never fails to deliver an amazing looking field. They have a lot to be proud of. Following the state of turf as the season progresses would a great series. And well shot and presented content, highly polished but very human and natural. Kudos to you.

[@jfcochran]

Man, Ryan you do great work and have learned much from your videos. Also, really appreciate you listing what music you use as well. Thanks man

[@garrettatkinson9048]

Went to Iowa State. Absolutely love Jack Trice and all of the History behind it. Love that you were able to take us on your journey to view the field on a more personal level. Keep up the awesome videos man!

[@Squeezedsn95]

Guns Up!!!

[@bryankosidowski6370]

What a great video!! I want to go back to school for turf management 😀 and I’m 40!

[@dagtailgroundmaintenance]

Great video. Interesting. Thanks

[@kylen6430]

Your lawn care knowledge, camera and video editing skills, and unique content like this makes this the best lawn care channel on the ‘tube. Keep up the great work

[@livinoutloud314]

Aw man! You were down the street from me. Excellent video and go Clones!

[@alexderus7480]

Great video. Loved the cinematography.

[@ryanmclellan8740]

You're rolling in a sweet purple Challenger? Niiiicceee. :)

[@MrKalina1978]

Great video Ryan. Thanks so much!

[@australianlawnfanatics3535]

The mullet is making a comeback!!!

[@jeff.schulze]

Cool stuff! Look forward to more of it.

[@markherek8888]

This has to be one of my favorite videos out of any of the lawn channels that I follow. Please do more of these types.

[@stevemcleod4608]

Very nice video, much appreciated as a college football fan. A nice departure from your usual good, helpful videos.

[@chrisboekestudio]

Go State! Best crew, team and field there is!!

[@nellyjizzle]

Nice vid. I’ve been following all sorts of golf supers and stadium turf crews on twitter for a while now because of you

[@jeremy6517]

So Matt Campbell, the head coach for Iowa State football, is from my hometown. I graduated high school with his younger brother. Awesome video! Go Cyclones! Unless it’s against The Ohio State.

[@aquienpuedainteresar4188]

Outstanding!!! I'm really looking forward to see more of this type of content. Hopefully you get invited to many more stadiums and baseball fields.

[@Th3CoolPeach]

Great video Ryan, keep up the good work 👍👌

[@jesusparra1817]

This is going to be a great series!!

[@buzz_conger]

Awesome video! That field is something special. We took a tour of their facilities when I was in collage and its unbelievable. I'm not sure if you got to take a look at the practice field or not, but it is maintained just as well as the game field.

[@jamzach4]

So awesome ! What an experience Ryan !! Can’t wait for more.

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Really cool Ryan. Thanks for sharing. 👊🏻

[@calebtroge3455]

Iowa St always has a great looking playing surface. Nice behind the scenes look.

[@seminole715]

Thank you Ryan!

[@lindseybuckinghamfanchanne4394]

In addition to the Packers, you should visit Purdue. They have a Bermuda grass field (northern most field in CFB). Also, Penn State has the reputation as the best field in the Big Ten. Michigan State installed their field in three foot cubes, which they remove for non-football events. Would be a cool road trip video!

[@rickwithturftyme7264]

That was fun Ryan, Thanks. The LCN group here in KC will eventually be touring Chiefs stadium turf and really excited to learn from that crew.

[@kylemoore3834]

It’s so great to see Kentucky blue grass at Jack Trice field. Many years ago it was artificial turf. The stadium and field have come a long ways. Beautiful place!

[@justindailey5057]

Really cool - one of my favorite videos you’ve filmed. Groundskeepers take a ton of pride in their work. Would be fun to do a behind the scenes of a baseball grounds crew as well.

[@njphil1279]

Well done Ryan!

[@TheLawnShark]

This was great! I love this type of content!

[@liv4motox]

So many places that have beautiful grass that need to be explored. I love to walk the local cemetery. Lots of work goes into the grass there. Love this video. Want to see a series of these at different places.

[@Craig-ib7gk]

Your production quality is some of the absolute best anyone will find on YT, and that is far beyond grass/turf info. The vast, vast majority of channels are light-to-non-existent on content, and even worse on quality. Yours are off the charts on both. But even further, you've mastered the craft of marrying the two to convey amazing information in utterly captivating fashion. Just... thank you, man, for all you're incredible hard work and bringing us such amazing content.

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

That means a lot to me. Seriously, I hear so much negativity every single day that this really helps me keep going.

[@garymichal8834]

Once again, an excellent video. From the video shots and angles, to the background music, to the voice-overs, your ability to tell a story is impressive. Thank you for the behind the scenes look at professional turf management.

[@jaymetheaccountant]

Truly a beautiful campus we toured it several times with our son. If it weren’t for reciprocity he would have been a Cyclone. He became a Bison instead and won a game in Ames so it all worked out 🤘🏼 great content as always!

[@juanraigosa139]

The amount of details that goes into a football field and all the other games is insane everything has to perfect. Great job guys 😎👍

[@L3x4Pr0ne]

They were serious. I love the pride in their work, though.

[@hotlatinimport]

This is amazing!! Thanks for sharing!

[@quinnleland9431]

Awesome video. Just like always.

[@dilbertgilbert]

By FAR my favorite video of yours to date. Go Cyclones!

[@scottbulow33]

I’d love to see the exact step by step football and baseball fields do. Awesome work Ryan and thank you

[@757JakeD]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@GutsAnGlory]

Super cool!

[@anthonydickman757]

So cool Ryan that you took us on this journey to see something only a few will experience!!!Thanks to you once again.

[@wermzer1312]

5:53 Legal graffiti. Doing those fill ins looks so fun!

[@newartriotgirl]

This is amazing! Your content just keeps getting better and better! Can't wait to see more in this series :)

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Great video Ryan, I'm in the middle of filming a series of videos at a topflight golf club here in Ireland.

[@vinnypinatelli221]

That was an amazing video very enjoyable

[@chimbone9]

As an alumni of The University of Maryland Varsity Football team, and a lawn fanatic. I thoughly enjoyed this video. I used to wonder how the Turf Speacilist at UMD keep out natural grass field in perfect condition, and painted and just perfect. Cool to see all of the work that goes on behind the scenes. I was in class when the field prep was happening at the stadium.

[@bobzilla6618]

That is freaking cool! I like this content. Brings back memories of my last job as a painter 😁

[@homegrilladvantage]

Great video Ryan!! This is definitely a subject that goes uncovered about the field we all know and love!

[@daveslyk]

Iowa State always has one of the nicest looking fields in football, especially for a field this far north.

[@Lawnvolution]

Excellent video Ryan!

[@stripeadoes2003]

Thats a nice field. Better than most. Reel turf. Better than most golf courses.

[@kylelowe6625]

Great video! Fun to see the about of time and effort that goes into painting a field.

[@lyssalue6280]

Oh no... The flashbacks to painting lines on the marching band practice field... I learned then that I am not good at measuring distance or basic spray painting. But man those guys are great at both and growing amazing turf.

[@bencarey8988]

Omg don't miss line marking 🤣👍👍

[@timmyb9]

Very cool video...even for me a Hawkeye fan!

[@brianscheerer7019]

Awesome idea! Great video

[@davenet94]

I liked all the music/soundtrack while at the stadium, made it feel epic

[@Keepgoing47]

Awesome video as always man.

[@regisrumpf6658]

Great video! I’ve always been intrigued with stadium turf grass. I’d be interested to see more about their irrigation, fertilization and mowing practices sometime too!

[@Digging_Holes]

Thanks for the great video! Go Cyclones!

[@MikeYZFR6ICT]

I know what you mean when you say that if you would have known that you loved this so much that you would have went to school for it.I can see myself doing turf for a local school when I retire.

[@reelsroses3268]

“PLee Fix” makes some great field markers. We did white ones for field lines and blue ones next to each pop up sprinkler head.

[@justinwilson6429]

I wish I would have gotten into lawn and turf care earlier in life. I love learning about this stuff.

[@YardGuy]

Great stuff Ryan!

[@SJRFC4]

Looking forward to seeing more of this! Great footage and love some different grass content

[@bbtank3000]

This was cool to see!

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Love this one man. Very interesting, very beautiful, and perfect timing as I saw that huge win they just had. Hope to see more of this, really awesome content!
