Toronto FC groundskeeper says BMO Field grass came out of Grey Cup in good shape
Toronto FC head groundskeeper Robert Heggie says Sunday’s Grey Cup should not leave any kind of hangover for Toronto FC when it comes to the BMO Field playing surface for the midweek MLS playoff showdown with Montreal.
“I’d say your average person, if they were to walk in here and look at the field, they wouldn’t suspect a football game was in here (Sunday) night — already,” Heggie said confidently Monday afternoon.
Toronto, which trails 3-2 on aggregate, hosts the Montreal Impact on Wednesday in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference final. The winner will face the Seattle Sounders in the MLS Cup final on Dec. 10.
Because it had the most regular-season points of the three teams left, Toronto will host the championship game if it advances. Montreal would play at Seattle if it moves on.
