Earlier Sod Replacement at American Family Field Meant Earlier Sod Delivery

Milwaukee, WI - Milwaukee Brewers turn to COVERMASTER® for EVERGREEN® turf covers at sod farm.

When events were planned prior to the opening of the 2026 season of the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field, the retractable roof stadium in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, it meant that full season sod replacement must be in place earlier than it normally would be. The new sod would come from a sod farm in southern Illinois, just outside Chicago. To ensure the sod would be ready to deliver sooner, the Brewers contacted COVERMASTER®.

The Brewers grounds team already use EVERGREEN® PREMIUM Turf Covers for the turf in America Family Stadium and know it works. To ensure their turf at the sod farm was ready earlier, they ordered five 100 by 200-foot sections of EVERGREEN® PREMIUM Turf Covers from COVERMASTER®. Its patented, dark green lace coating draws in more heat and helps increase ground temperature in excess of 10°F (5.5°C).

EVERGREEN® PREMIUM Turf Covers will not only protect the new sod from adverse growing conditions, the greenhouse effect that it creates promotes faster growth, earlier green ups, better color, and thicker turf. Its revolutionary SMART EDGE TECHNOLOGY™ eliminates the need for hems and grommets, provides for the right amount of ventilation, and cuts or shapes cleanly with ordinary scissors. EVERGREEN® PREMIUM Turf Covers also mean that the Brewers sod will be ready for earlier delivery!
