SIDELINE TURF COVERS PROVIDE MAXIMUM TURF PROTECTION AT TORONTO’S BMO FIELD

Toronto, Ontario - Football sideline covers prevent damage from football cleats, benches and equipment

BMO field in Toronto is the home of the Toronto FC of Major League Soccer (MLS) and Toronto Argonauts (Canadian Football League). It was recently used by FIFA as one of its 2026 World Cup venues for six games. While soccer players sit away from the field sidelines, football players are located directly along the sidelines. Soccer cleats are lightweight and low-cut while football cleats provide more support and traction, which causes more turf issues.

To protect the field sidelines from football cleats and other turf damage during Argo football games, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd. (MLSE) ordered 14 thousand square feet of SIDELINE TURF COVERS from COVERMASTER® in assorted sizes and a mix of green and gray colors. Unlike other turf protection mats, these SIDELINE TURF PROTECTORS prevent cleat punctures and penetration from reaching the turf below.

Its exclusive Matrix fabric is tough, durable, and non-absorbent. Rain will not collect in pools on top and everything from spilled sports drinks to player sweat will also go right through to the turf below. Sunlight and air will penetrate for continued turf growth. This allows these SIDELINE TURF COVERS to be left in position for longer periods without damaging the turf. They are the ultimate in turf protection.
