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.
