The grass on the soccer field at Rock Chalk Park in Lawrence is currently being replaced.

The University of Kansas and the city of Lawrence are pitching the Rock Chalk Park sports complex as the perfect training ground for teams in next year's World Cup.

In less than a year, the eyes of the world will be on Arrowhead Stadium for the World Cup soccer tournament. A total of six games will be played at Arrowhead, bringing thousands of soccer fans from across the globe to Kansas City. But outlying areas are also trying to get in on the action, as KPR's Matthew Algeo reports.
