DETROIT TIGERS HIT IT BIG WITH A NEW COVERMASTER® INFIELD TARP

Detroit, MI - RAINCOVER ULTRA™ has heavy hitter, super core strength with 200 pounds less weight.

Touted as one of the American League’s (AL) eight charter franchises in Major League Baseball, the Detroit Tigers were founded back in 1894 in what was then minor baseball in the Western League. They are the oldest franchise in the AL to maintain their same name and play in the same city throughout the years. They did, however, move to a new stadium in 2000 and played their first game there against the Seattle Mariners.

When a new infield tarp for Comerica Park was needed for the 2025 season, the Tigers went directly to COVERMASTER® - the world leader in sports surface protection and the first company to introduce lightweight field covers over 40 years ago. For decades now, COVERMASTER® has been providing the Tigers with a wide variety of baseball-related products including spot covers, on deck circles, windscreens, and yes, baseball field tarps.

The Tigers ordered RAINCOVER ULTRA™ measuring 170 by 170 feet with handles and grommets every 10 feet. Over 200 pounds lighter than other field tarps on the market, RAINCOVER ULTRA™ features the strongest core in the industry that not only provides a more stable base, but also provides 100 percent sunblock for a cooler turf beneath it. In fact, the white/silver version minimizes heat build-up with the COVERMASTER® exclusive SHIELD-TEK™ coating technology. It’s simply grrrreat!
