Reds striker Sebastian Giovinco feels field conditions might have contributed to him leaving playoff games last fall.
If Robert Heggie has his way, the headlines coming out of BMO Field would focus on on-field theatrics rather than the grass itself.
That hasn’t always been the case for the stadium’s head groundskeeper, whose task it is to keep the multi-use pitch playable for Toronto FC despite its other tenants, the Toronto Argonauts.
Heggie indirectly became a subplot in the Reds’ MLS Cup run last season after striker Sebastian Giovinco left multiple home playoff games with leg cramps, an issue he said hadn’t bothered him in years.
