 1,500 feet is the total length of the chain that they'll carry side by side. We look forward to doing this every year and we plan months in advance to make sure that we have all the roping knowing that this is going to happen every May. I've been doing this since I was a kid. My father was doing it since he was a kid, my grandfather and even my great-grandfather who started the company in 1912 worked with the college to provide the war roping for the last 101 years now.
