After mounting complaints, MLSE moves to upgrade BMO Field playing surface

Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment is moving to improve the much-maligned playing surface at BMO Field.

A new grass surface will be laid next month, with improved lighting and irrigation. And in April, the field will be strengthened by artificial fibres that will hold the surface together, protect the grass and reduce recovery time between events.
