  As part of a deal with the city to convert BMO Field to natural grass, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment spent CA$1.2 million adding a winter bubble to Lamport Stadium in the winter of 2009–2010.  MLSE manages the operations of the facility during the winter season, when the field is covered by the dome and community soccer programs are held.
