The following are text directions to the field. Additional directions

Near the end of your journey you should be on I80 just west of the I35/
I80 junction. Leave I80 at exit 121. At the stoplight turn south on
Jordan Creek Parkway and proceed south three blocks to Ashworth Road.
On the southwest corner of this intersection there is a single family
residence, the first one you'll see on this street, and on the
northwest corner is a bank. Turn right onto Ashworth Road and proceed
about two miles. Immediately on your right after passing over the
interstate is the sod farm. You can enter the sod farm on the west end
through the parking area next to the small church. You can drive
around the edge of the sod farm, close to the fence, to get to the
parking area. Please drive and park close to the fence to minimize the
possible damage to the sod.
