A 5️⃣-day turnaround? 🤯 No problem for the turf crew at @EmpowerField 👏 https://t.co/jENCeaXn4y Via @Broncos on X

What happened: The grounds staff reset the playing surface between the venue's Aug. 21 and Aug. 28 preseason dates. Friday's finale ended 34-6.

Why it matters: The tight window tested stadium operations before the regular-season home slate begins. Consecutive Friday bookings leave little margin for weather or maintenance delays.

By the numbers: The Aug. 21 and Aug. 28 dates were seven calendar days apart; the crew's stated turnaround window was five days.

What to watch: The next home game is Sept. 20, creating a longer reset before the schedule resumes.
