Believe it or not, FC Dallas training actually started at 7:45 am today. 7:45!!! I had to get up at 6! This is almost like a job or something! Of course, at that time of day, it's not yet 80 degrees, which is the point.
The team was back on Field #1 for the first time since it was converted to summer grass. The main stadium is going through this same process. I understand the three-week break will actually let the grounds guys grow in the new grass and not just over sod it like they usually have to do.
