The grass is always greener at Beaver Stadium

Barry Gutshall, a member of the Beaver Stadium grounds crew, has been cutting grass at the stadium for 37 years. He plans to retire after this season. Gutshall, shown above emptying containers of grass from his mower, cuts each blade of grass twice going in opposite directions for each pass to ensure an even length. The grass clippings will later be mulched and mixed with other organic materials and recycled.
