New to the industry? Perhaps seeking a better understanding of why we do what we do in managed turfgrass? Join the @VTTurfgrass team during the 'offseason' to prepare for a great 2027 growing season. Golf, sports turf, lawn care... all industry members will benefit from School.

The 2026 @VTTurfgrass Research Field Day kicks off at the turfgrass research center on a glorious 52 degree morning in Blacksburg. @AvaVeith and @dhens_2 kick off today's program discussing their sports field research projects at Penn State and VT.

As a kid, I dreamed of working in sports, but I never knew it would get me here. I’m just a 24 year-old kid from southwest Virginia that got a chance to take on a big city and grow grass for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It’s been quite the ride! GO HOKIES🦃 #worldcup #hokies

People usually laugh when I say I “professionally grow grass” This week, that job brought me to the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final. Every long day, late night, and 20k+ step was worth it. Turns out, “professionally growing grass” can take you to the biggest stage in the world!🌱⚽️

“You are better off being a fan of the team with the longest active World Series drought than the worst run organization in professional sports” Try being a fan of BOTH
Erik Boland@eboland11Mar 5
Interim MLBPA Exec Dir Bruce Meyer, after meeting with players this morning, on a salary cap: "Salary caps certainly don’t guarantee competitive balance. (You're) very much better off being a Cleveland Guardians fan over the last any number of yrs than a Cleveland Browns fan."
