grounds crew

Stadium turf team

A grounds crew is the team responsible for maintaining outdoor spaces, especially athletic fields and stadiums.

They mow grass, mark lines, manage drainage, and prepare playing surfaces before games.

The term also applies to airport workers who service aircraft on the ground—fueling, loading baggage, and directing planes on the tarmac.
