MLS Cup players layer up for chilly night, but say BMO Field pitch looks good
Toronto FC ‘keeper Clint Irwin donned two layers under his jersey, shorts, two sets of leggings, two pairs of socks, a tuque and surgical gloves under his goalie gloves for practice Friday.
It seemed to do the trick.
“I was pretty warm today. I was actually sweating,” Irwin said cheerfully after Toronto’s mid-morning training session on the eve of Saturday’s MLS Cup final against Seattle. “So I might not need it (Saturday).”
The sun was out Friday at BMO Field but the temperature of -2 degrees was said to feel like -5. If you weren’t moving around, it was chilly.
