The Royals put the finishing touches on their new field at Kauffman Stadium, as 110,000 square feet of a bluegrass blend was put down this week. The sod came from Green Valley Turf Farm in Littleton, Colo., which is more than 600 miles away.

Thirty trucks were used to send the 600 rolls, which weigh 3 pounds each. There is also 600 linear feet of new irrigation with 100 heads to water the grass and the warning track. There was 5,500 tons of sand used, as well as 2,800 tons of pea gravel, 500 tons of warning track material and 275 tons of infield material.
