MuirtonPark Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 squid2's link above seems to have been cut off half way along. Here is the Letter of Intent reference. http://explace.smallboxsoftware.net/database/rte/BMO%20Field%20-%20Upgrade%20to%20Grass%20Field%20Final%20Sept%2010%202009(1).pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masster Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 This is good news. But with BMO field still being available for community use, how good is the field going to be? 48 hours per month from April to October, 14 days for City Parks and Recreation, 6 days for the CSA, 6 days for the OSA and 18 days for the CNE is a lot of time. We saw what 1 throwball game in the rain could do to a grass field at Swangard last year. MLSE better have a good grounds crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldtimer Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 quote:Used Artificial Turf From $1.00 sq ft. http://www.ondecksports.com/index.php?fuse...CFRPyDAodkRtEkQ quote:This Turf is Perfect For: * Dugouts * Coaches Boxes * Football sidelines * Track covers * Paintball facilities * Soccer/Lacrosse facilities * Doggie Day Cares * Dog Runs * and many more Turf is valuable! <grin> Maybe BMO Field's turf's ultimate use will be for dogs to poop on! (somehow a fitting end). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 The first hurdle is clear, the Ex Place Board voted yes to MLSE's proposal. Next up, the City Council. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john tv Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Rudi get the troops ready as I forecasted.We need about two hundred general! I did hear Tom say that he expects the grass to be ready in around mid April and it seems logical that TFC start of with road games as in the past.
