Growing Green Country grass is big business these days, and there aren't many greener pastures in the sod trade than an NFL stadium.

All the turf for Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium is grown at "Green Acre" just outside Haskell. Chiefs' groundskeepers say the sod from Sooner soil is some of the best in the country.

It takes 300 rolls to cover the grounds in Kansas City. Green Acre says the Chief's turf is pretty popular for golf courses too.

You can own football-strength sod, for $60 a roll.
