Just putting this idea out there early enough that somebody can take the ball and run with it. Why not schedule TFC away games with holiday weekends in Canada to make traveling support an easier task and spare us some vacation days from work. Here is a hypothetical schedule of events:
Victoria Day Weekend: DC United
Easter Long Weekend: LA Galaxy (floating holiday)
August Long Weekend: New England
Labour Day Weekend: New York
Thanksgiving Weekend: Chicago
St. John the Baptist Day: Montreal
Home suggestion
July 1: An all Canadian matchup vs. Vancouver to celebrate Canada day.
Victoria Day, Easter Long weekend (well Good Friday at least) and August long weekend are all holidays in Canada but not in the US.
If demand builds up, Memorial day weekend could see Columbus, New England, DC or Chicago come to Toronto.
The advantage to this is if everybody knows well in advance when a team is coming to town, you can get a bit of tradition built up.
