I saw a headline this morning that said something about Toronto FC fans protesting at the upcoming All Star game. We know the All Star game is taking place at BMO field - so why would TFC fans be planning to protest? My first thought was that they didn’t get any players into the MLS All Star first XI even though TFC always has a lot of players high in the fan voting.
It turns out that was not the case at all. They don’t want BMO field modified to accommodate the American Football team that plays in Toronto. Right now BMO is soccer specific - which is part of the reason it is such a great atmosphere during TFC home games. To allow the other team to play some major construction would need to be done - which would take away from the intimate setting of those TFC home games.
