This has been talked about at great length in the members forum, but we need to encourage everyone to bring as many streamers as you can to the CCL game at Skydome.


One important note, the streamers will not be used for corner kicks as they were in years 1,2,3. This is still banned by the team, MLS and I believe by the tournament rules. Streamers should not be thrown onto the field of play, but should remain around the periphery or in the stands. To be clear - DO NOT THROW ANYTHING ON THE FIELD OF PLAY OR AT PLAYERS.


In terms of logistics and timing, I think it makes the most sense to launch the streamers right at kick-off as it gives everyone a defined reference point. In the past we have tried creating a massive display after we finish singing Oh Canada, but it is sometimes hard to line up everyones voices. If we throw them when the ball is first touched it will make for a pretty dramatic display and will allow for perfect timing.

While stremers will look great anywhere in the building, they will have a particularly dramatic effect from the 5th deck. If you are in the 500's, you are strongly encouraged to bring a few extra streamers and pass them out around you.

* Executive, please correct me if I am mistating anything or if I have left anything out.

See 2 min mark of this video for thegeneral idea. (Minus the flares and the streamers being thrown on the pitch of course).

if you can get a streamer from the south end (118/119) to the corner...you should also expect a call from the Blue Jays.

Obviously it would look cooler if all the streamers were coming from a couple sections with everyone throwing them at the same time as opposed to a few people tossing them around the stadium. Is it possible to designate some sections for throwing streamers and everyone bring streamers for that section? And how do we tell everyone when to throw it unless its in the supporters section?

is SkyDome for sure letting people openly take in streamers and throw streamers (not on to the field).... They do not allow this for Jays games.

Our understanding is that this is an allowed item. Head of security and operations had no issue allowing them in, resources are there to do the cleanup.

I am sitting in section 139 and I've already purchased a pleutra of streamers for my group and hopefully others in our section.

So we will be joining in on this action and it would be really nice if the entire stadium actually partakes in this.

I don't think it will be a problem getting the supporters to load up on streamers. The problem is we are all located in level 100. For the most impressive impact we need them raining down from level 500.

I take your point about informing people though. Obviously the first step is to spread the word on the message boards. It would also be helpful if TFC did a blast on their facebook page - something to the effect of "Streamers are Back".

They could also spread the message about throwing them at kickoff.

Executive - any thoughts on whether this might work/happen?

Any particular colour? White always works but a mixture of red and white would be awesome

I don't think it really matters. Perhaps white would stand out better against the backdrop of red jerseys.

Get behind this people! Buy Early and Buy Often! So Cheap! If you have more than you can throw-spread the Love! Timing would coincide best with kick off. Displays will be done as the players march out!

Sorry - just to be clear here - streamers are ok? I've got the whole front row of a 500 section at midfield; if this is indeed a go, I'll get tonnes of streamers and pass them out all over the place!

Perhaps the capos can direct all the supporters when to throw the streamers. In other words, as people are taking their seats they can advise people to hold off throwing them until kickoff?

That will be hard to do since all of the capos will be in the supports section. We need anyone who reads this to try to spread the word at the game and beforehand.

To be clear though, streamers are acceptable.

^should just set up by every gate a bin of streamers for fans to take to their seats.

Red, White, and Gray combo would look nice

Just tell everyone you give a streamer to that they should watch the south end for the cue. Word of mouth should work just fine. In the past I know people have also written instuctions on the streamer. That sounds like too much work for me.

Pretty sure the club will be littering the upper levels with streamers. At least that is what I was told.

That would be an awsome gesture by the club.

I'm sure they want this televised event to be huge.
With the various banners/tifo's I seen and helped on, this is going to be an Epic night.

Oh by the way TFC 1 - 0 against Dallas @ 34th min, Luis Silva Goaaaaaal

edit = Silva gets a second @ 39th min

An idea might be to have a dozen people or so bring a bunch of streamers early and hang out by the gates where people enter to go to the 500 levels, and hand out the streamers to the people entering those gates and let them know when to toss. It would obviously take 10 or so people to be willing to do this in order to get enough handed out but they could easily give 4-6 to each person for a 15 minute span and ask them to spread them out and the word in their sections

God I hope we win this game, because it sounds like it's going to be a really fun and exciting night. A decisive victory would be a really nice finish to the evening, and could really set the tone amongst the supporters going into the season proper.

As I said, I'll be on the otherside at 139, so I can for sure help hand out and distribute more amongst the entire stadium. Im excited!:scarf:

Alright and I've been to many TFC games but have never been in the supporters section and thrown streamers but the Skydome is a much bigger stadium so I was just wondering if there would be a point of bringing alot of streamers if I'm sitting in the lowerbowl...

The general consensus of this thread seems to be throwing streamers at kick off, but the open letter available at the top of this web site says to throw after the National Anthem. Which is is to be?

I'm busing in for the game, so I don't control my schedule otherwise I could you all a pile of them. The dollar stores here in Belleville have piles. A pack of 2 81' paper streamers is only $1.25

There were probably 20+ packs of each, and that was only at Dollar Tree, there a few other dollar stores I hadn't even looked at.
