Commissioner says CFL, Argos well aware of turf issues

TORONTO - CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie says the league and Toronto Argonauts are exploring how to rectify the turf issue at BMO Field.

Most of BMO Field’s playing surface is natural grass, but the entire north endzone is turf as is a portion of the south endzone.

On Saturday, Edmonton receiver Derel Walker slipped and fell in the north endzone in the second quarter, allowing Toronto’s Ronnie Yell to intercept a pass and preserve a 12-4 advantage.

That turned out to be a crucial play as Toronto eventually rallied for a 20-17 victory.

Ambrosie said finding a suitable fix is a complicated matter.
