With the goal of unveiling the renovated field for Toronto FC’s opening game of the 2010 Major League Soccer (MLS) season; MBTW was quickly engaged by MLSE in the role of Prime Consultant – charged with overseeing the design and implementation of the Client’s vision from conceptual design through commissioning. Complete with a SubAir Sport drainage system and a hydronic field heating system the BMO Field renovation succeeded on many levels: it remains most technologically advanced sports field constructed in Canada; it continues to be ongoing source of pride for MLSE and Toronto FC; it is internationally recognized as a natural turf facility capable of hosting a variety of sporting events.
