People tarp football fields?

A friend and I once wandered in an open gate in Tiger Stadium the night before Hurricane Rita in 2005. Not very long after we were approached by one of the coaches on a golf cart questioning what we were doing there. We didn't really know that to do or say but then he says "we are trying to tarp the field and we need all the help we can get; can yall give us a hand?" For us it was a no-brainer and we spent the next hour with the coaching staff and trainers struggling to tarp the field in extremely windy conditions. Once we finally got it done one of the equipment managers invited us to go to the locker room with them to have a drink as a way to thank us for helping. They had like 3 or 4 huge ice chests loaded down with beer. We only stayed for one beer but I can recall thinking they were probably going to be there a pretty long time if they were going to make a dent in those ice chests.
