CHICAGO FIRE TURN UP THE HEAT WITH EVERGREEN® RADIANT TURF COVERS

Chicago, IL - New training facility protects its practice fields with COVERMASTER® growth blankets.

For upwards of 25 years, the Chicago Fire Football Club, a U.S. professional soccer club that competes in the Eastern Conference of Major League Soccer (MLS), has been coming to COVERMASTER® for help protecting and improving its turf. Named after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 that devastated over three-square miles of the city, the Fire plays out of Soldier Field in the near South Side of Chicago.

In January of this year, Chicago Fire's new training facility, the Endeavor Health Performance Center, was officially opened. The facility features a performance space, hydro pools, an area for the sports medicine team, and five turf fields. Once again, COVERMASTER® was contacted by the team's lead turf manager to purchase EVERGREEN® RADIANT TURF COVERS. “I’ve used COVERMASTER® TURF BLANKETS before in Orlando and have seen firsthand how beneficial they can be as a part of a turf program. That and the customer service I received was top notch.”

40,000 sq ft, of EVERGREEN® RADIANT TURF GROWTH COVERS were ordered along with COVERMASTER® TARPMATE AIR™ ROLLERS for quick and easy installation and removal. The growth covers provide up to 25% more heat retention, which in turn, creates a greenhouse effect for faster turf growth and earlier green ups. Chicago Fire now has the most specialized and longest lasting turf blankets in the industry thanks to the world leader in sports surface protection, COVERMASTER®.
