LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Before the Las Vegas Aviators take the field, the field itself has to be ready. That’s the daily mandate for head groundskeeper Tanner Dickherber (third season) and assistant Mario Castañon, who start with string lines and end with tampers — and track more than 20,000 steps on busy days.

“People just come and see a beautiful field. But there’s hours and hours and hours put behind that,” Dickherber said. Below, a behind-the-scenes, task-by-task look at how Las Vegas Ballpark gets to game shape — and why each detail matters.
