A worker paints the yardline number on the field
“We stay there the whole time. Both of us are there usually the whole game. Sometimes he’ll have to leave and do a walk-around and check on things. When he comes back, I do a walk-around and check on my staff and make sure they’re doing everything they’re supposed to be doing and observing,” Roberts said. The game usually takes three and a half to four hours. They’ll be there until the game ends and remain at the stadium for up to two hours after. There’s a clean-up crew of more than 200 that descends on the stadium within an hour of the game ending. Tons of garbage have to be removed. But the day is over. Another OU home game is in the books and 85,000 fans have come and gone. If everything went as planned, they never noticed the layers of work that went into the experience. “You’re dog tired. I mean just exhausted,” Roberts said. “But you do feel good about it when things go really well. You have that great feeling that you were able to help the team win maybe and create a great atmosphere for our team and fans. You want them to feel like they had a great time and want to come back for the next game.”
