See the Fieldsaver® Difference for Yourself:

Before (11/16/2010):
The day after soccer season ended, with less than 10% turf cover in the soccer goal mouths.

During (12/2/2010):

A quick check for establishment shows an actively growing turf during periods of average daily high temperatures in the 40s and night-time lows below freezing.

After (2/16/2011):

Winter turf covers removed for high school baseball, revealing 100% turf cover. The difference is undeniable!

Summary: “Winter turf blankets are an excellent investment, especially when considering that sodding two 60’x60’ soccer goal mouths each spring, over an eight year period would cost us over $16,000.00. To purchase two 60’x60’ winter turf covers, seed and preventative fungicide over an eight year period (the life expectancy of CoverSports® Winter Turf Blankets) will cost us an estimated $2,500.00.”
