Another night at BMO field
BMO Field - Toronto
It was a cool rainy night at BMO, the place was packed and the supporters were in full voice. It was probably my 8th or 9th time down there, and just like the first time, it was magic. I can't recommend a TFC game at BMO enough, there isn't a bad seat in the house and the atmosphere is electric.

Toronto FC a good event...
BMO Field - Toronto
I loved the atmosphere of the stadium and fans. The crowd was loud, but not rowdy or unruly. You can bring a date, your parents, your children, or just friends. Make sure you bring your own rain poncho if there's a chance of rain. The ponchos at the stadium are expensive.

Poor game, poor service...
BMO Field - Toronto
The game was quite boring, while the stadium is poorly designed and the service is equally poor. You can't even bring in your own water. Apparently, many locals are used to that, but that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Moreover, I had snack bars with me and the front door personnel just threw them out into the garbage while ravaging through my small bag in which I carry water and my wallet. They could have at least warned us before we actually bought the tickets, but we only found out at the gate. The stadium provides no protection against the weather. So, if it's raining, you are stuck sitting in the pool of water soaking wet, while the players have to contend with slippery field. We actually brought umbrellas and we were told you can't use them because it would abstract the view for others. That makes sense, but when we said that we will simply not use them we were still told that we couldn't come inside with them and one of us had to walk all the way back to the car to put them away. Somehow, though, there were still people on the stands with umbrellas... Teams were of equal strength but zero excitement on the field... I am definitely not going back to this stadium ever again and have relayed my experience to all my acquaintances.

Not all it's cracked up to be
BMO Field - Toronto
It's a fun outing going to an FC game. It's just not all that it's made out to be. There are supporters there, but it's nothing like it sounds or looks on TV. The actual supporters area is quite small. The other thing is the calibre of play isn't really that exciting. It seems they're playing more of a Hockey style than a soccer/football style. Back and forth instead of maintaining posession and setting up chances. But this isn't the premier league I guess. It's a nice one off outing for the family in the summer.
Toronto FC at BMO Field
Historically speaking, Toronto's professional sports franchises have all rallied around the color blue, be it Major League Baseball's Blue Jays, the NHL's Maple Leafs, or the Argonauts of the Canadian Football League. But since 2007, large swaths of the city have been awash in a different shade, thanks to the arrival of The Reds - aka Toronto FC, the city's first Major League Soccer team (and the first Canadian team in the league).
Despite entering a crowded local sports market, Toronto FC have been a hit since day one, thanks in no small part to the city's traditionally large population of football-starved British expats. In fact, the Eastern Conference team's most vocal and visible supporters club, the Red Patch Boys, started rallying online back in 2006 before the team had even played its first match.
When BMO Field - the team's home stadium - opened, it already was the biggest soccer stadium in Canada; it since has expanded to accommodate some 30,000 fans. On game days, you'll be hard-pressed to find a soul within a 10-mile radius of the venue who isn't sporting the team's signature red scarves.
Toronto FC History
After some growing seasons as a new franchise, Toronto FC became a perennial MLS Cup playoff contender after adding Italian soccer star Sebastian Giovinco from 2015-19.
In his first year with the team, Giovinco became the first Toronto FC player to win MLS' Golden Boot (for most goals scored), MVP, and Newcomer of the Year awards, en route to the team's first-ever playoff berth. They'd repeat the feat in each of the next two years, making it to the MLS Cup Final in 2016 and then finally winning the championship in 2017.
That victory, coupled with their winning of the Canadian Championship and Supporters' Shield matches earlier in the year, made Toronto FC the first team in Major League Soccer history to complete the rare feat known as the domestic treble.
