Tired of playing on a “cow pasture,” Toronto FC plans to lay a new grass surface at BMO Field later this month. The new pitch will be installed after the May 26 Toronto FC 2 game. Toronto put in a new grass field after BMO Field hosted the Centennial Classic outdoor hockey game in January 2017. “So it was kind of the devil you know versus the devil you don’t.”So the replacement grass pitch was left in Burford, Ont. Even though BMO Field has underground heating, an inflatable cover and grow-lamps, that isn’t enough to preserve grass in the depth of a Toronto winter.
