The wear and tear on the field has been quite apparent this year. I wonder if it has to be with the way TFC and Argos have been scheduled this year? Both teams played a heavy amount of home games in...

This is long overdue. It's been a problem since BMO opened. A good portion of the stadium come from the GO Station or Liberty Village when heading to the games.
