Unfortunately, the helicopter that played Airwolf passed away in a tragic crash while assisting folks as an air ambulance.

That might uproot the grass because it's so powerful and close to the ground.

Interesting that he mentions the 10am lot opening. Lots don't open after 8am for any game time. Don't know where the heck he got 10am.

like elephant pens from the manure that was spread a few weeks ago. Can you imagine what it would smell like after the coots left?
Think sewer plant. Mauldin Road at I-85 on a humid day or Hwy. 56 near Bush Field in Augusta just about any day of the year.

Lotsa fun, but probably not too effective.

I was there today and saw the chopper parked by the indoor

Practice facility. There was also a tractor pulling a dryer and one disking up one of the lots trying to dry the dirt up. I think with these warm days we should be fine by Game time.

I know Clemson is an engineering school, but is this likely to produce a real benefit? Isn't the soil pretty high in clay concentration and, therefore really dense and slow to dry?

The optics are terrible. Libs will have a field day with this. Considering we apologized for the dining hall event and turned that into a fiasco, I fully expect we will have to buy carbon credits from Al Gore for this one!

This is such a common practice that I suspect there are proven metrics to decide when it's necessary. Seen videos like this for drying baseball and futbol fields inside stadiums plenty of times.

That is not going to do much good. It's still going to be wet right below the surface, unless they scraped some of it out first.
May work well on asphalt but not on mud.
They could've put that money towards stone (crush and run) at least in the worst places. Then pull the stone up at the end of the season and re-sod or plant.

...for recruiting and drying the parking lots in the future.
