In Houston, a sports turf expert played a key role in preparing a field for major games. Dan Bergstrom, with the Houston Dynamo, was involved in planning for a grass field at a local stadium. His work was part of a long-term effort that began seven years before the events.

The outcome was a stadium that looked particularly good, according to observers. Further details about the preparation and maintenance of the field are available from the source. The expert's schedule was demanding, with early morning starts and tight deadlines to meet.

His team's work was done in collaboration with others, including FIFA officials who took over the field for rehearsals and matches.
