Toro Takes it to the Field

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – The Toro Co. will be smelling the roses on New Year’s Day. The outdoor equipment manufacturer has been named the Rose Bowl’s exclusive provider of turf maintenance equipment and irrigation systems. Toro will help prepare the field for the game on Jan. 1 in Pasadena, Calif.

The turf professionals at the stadium currently use Toro's mowing equipment, utility vehicles, turf cultivation solutions, spraying equipment and irrigation control systems for the playing field and the exterior landscape and vegetation.

"Our expectations here are higher," says Will Schnell, turf superintendent of the Rose Bowl. "We want the best surface in the country, and we want it perfect every time. Even if we're not on national TV that day, if it's just a Little League game, you always want the surface to be perfect. Toro's turf maintenance equipment and irrigation system meet our high standards."

"Toro is proud to be a partner of a venue with such impressive history and tradition," says Rick Lohman, national account director at Toro. "The Rose Bowl symbolizes the very best in American athletics and we're happy to play a part in delivering the most reliable and dependable turf maintenance solutions."
