SIOUX CITY (KTIV) – We\u2019ve been covering the season long success of the Sioux City Explorers as they are competing to lock up a playoff spot.<\/p>\n
But another part of the X\u2019s season that can\u2019t be overlooked is the groundskeepers that keep the park looking good for Sioux City, and they also keep the fans entertained.<\/p>\n
Easton and Seth Hodgins are brothers who grew up sharing a passion of entertaining and enjoying America\u2019s past time.<\/p>\n
After a little motivation from the Sioux City Explorers GM Tom Backemeyer, the brothers decided to take action.<\/p>\n
\u201cGet some guys together that work here and dance while you drag, so he asked me and my brother, and we were like \u2018let\u2019s do it why not?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
So, they hired a dance company to make a dance and now they go out and perform for the fans that make it out to Lewis & Clark Park.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s definitely exciting, it\u2019s a little scary too like on the 4th of July you have thousands of fans staring at you, watching you dance and if you mess up they\u2019re all going to see it it\u2019s also exciting, it gets the fans into it, and the fans love us.\u201d<\/p>\n
And just like the players for Sioux City, the dancing ground crew has to study the film and see where they can improve and how well they danced.<\/p>\n
But for the brothers, even if they mess up, they still enjoy giving the fans another source of entertainment.<\/p>\n
\u201cReally putting on a show for the fans we\u2019re both people that will go out of the way and try to make everyone\u2019s day better and so if that means us messing up on the field dancing, we still have a good time, we just laugh about it and joke about it all the time, so.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Easton and Seth both cheer on the X\u2019s and want to do their part to make the experience at the ballpark more enjoyable for everyone, they still have a little brotherly rivalry while doing so.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a better dancer than him, and I\u2019m the head guy for it so that makes it a little better that I have a higher step over him.\u201d<\/p>\n
One thing they can both agree on though, is that they would love the dancing grounds crew stick around for years to come.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope it\u2019s here to stay it\u2019s just a great thing. Like Easton said, all the fans love us and I think it\u2019s hard to look at it from the business side and you get the fans rowdy and hyped up that\u2019s something that\u2019s hard to take away from your experience at the ball field.\u201d<\/p>\n
