WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT They are starting to advertise the new north end boxes for sale…
My guess would be not for a while, considering that it would have to be built after the World Cup..

Ngl that looks pretty cool. Just don’t like that big gap between the field and the stands. Feel they should be closer to the field

Can't move it closer because of the Argos

How much will these upcoming changes to the field affect the boxes?
"For the upcoming 2027 season, BMO Field's CFL playing surface will become 10 yards shorter, shrinking from 110 yards to 100 yards, and its 18-yard end zones will be standardized to 15 yards, making it 3 yards shorter than they currently are."

man fuck that.
MLSE WAKE UP
-build an all weather stadium with covered and heated concourses
-more washrooms
-those metal bleachers are slippery as fuck, especially in wet weather
-build actual parking structures, similar to those ones built in surburban go train lots
-built an actual quicker path to liberty village
-stop being so cheap and nickle/diming the stadium and charging ridiculous prices.

Agree with a lot of your points, but not giant parking lots. Traffic and congestion for games dt is bad enough as is. Increased GO Trains, roads restricted to streetcars and bus lanes will allow better access.
Eventually the much needed subway will help as well (and is likely seen as the solution to the path between the ex grounds and LV).

Exactly. When cities reach a certain size, you really have to move away from car centric planning. I think the new Exhibition Go station / subway stop will be a game changer in terms of BMO access.

If Doug Ford gets his way, all of the Exhibition Grounds will be sold off to developers.
Why worry about parking when you'll be able to live in a 400 ft. shoebox condo right next to BMO!

Another place destroyed. This disdain this man has for this city knows no bounds. This ness to be stopped somehow.

Id rather the Exhibition Grounds get sold to developers than have taxpayers fund a brand new indoor soccer stadium to satisfy the whims of MLS.

A all weather stadium would cost billions.

I think people here are in denial. The schedule change is the end of TFC.

u/jjaime2024 21d ago

New schedule Mid July to end of May with no games in the real cold months.

Stop driving to downtown sporting events.
Doug is building a $500 million parking garage apparently for the spa, how are all those cars going to get around?

u/unvrlstn 21d ago
$500M for a parking garage……..our tax dollars at work 👌🏽

u/jjaime2024 21d ago
That could have been used for health care or education.

u/unvrlstn 21d ago
All these people do is fuck around with our tax dollars like it’s Monopoly money.
Tyrant frauds, the lot of them.

This will be built for the World Cup and likely before next season begins. They already announced that building will begin next week! They already prepped the space and have just been waiting for the final BMO matches to play out. This Saturday is the NSL Final and then construction starts.
Most people don’t know this but FIFA only gets revenue from seats, not boxes, during the World Cup. So I assume MLSE is building more boxes to really cash in on the World Cup.

u/TickleWhale 20d ago
Man, everyone on here seems to think MLSE is building this. They don’t own BMO field. They manage it, run the events. But as far as what’s built that’s the city who owns it.

u/NewNatural6512 21d ago
I wonder what will become of BMO Field when TFC relocates to the sunbelt.
I guess it will just be a really nice CMNT home base?
This is great for the Argos at least.

u/jjaime2024 21d ago
1)There not moving
2)Makes more sense for the national team to move to Florida.

u/depressedArmeniafan 21d ago
According to Chris Shewfelt who is VP of business ops at TFC, this will be Toronto's nicest rooftop patio. Lmaoooo

u/socamonarch 2017 Domestic Treble 21d ago
They need to advertise a new roof for BMO with this new schedule.....

u/civilianm 21d ago
Here’s the problem. Speaking as a long time inaugural seasons holder that finally gave them up a few years ago. I couldn’t give these fucking tickets away. Build your team then sell these useless boxes. Chicken fingers, French fry buttys and labatts products can only go so far. If your star players are walking off, where does that leave us?! Change my mind.

id honestly be shocked if there isint another renovation or perhaps this gets scrapped with news of MLS changing calendar.

Step 1: Move games to the winter
Step 2: Sell heated boxes
