Bmo Field Expansion

[boban]

Am I the only person that still has major reservations about expansion? It's the beginning of the season, we're 1-0, everyone's stoked, and so am I. BUT....
Do we forget all the rainy weekday games with 1000 or so empty seats in them?
Do we forget the fact that most people are bleeding money right now?
In our excitement, do we think that success on the field is a foregone conclusion this year, and if it isn't, do we think that some fans will disappear after 3 bad years on the pitch?

I'm not saying any of these things are a given, but I think that a bit of caution must be thrown in to this discussion during the rosiest time of the year!

You think rain doesn't occur in stadia in Europe or elsewhere where soccer is big? Furthermore, I don't see it hampering expansion efforts in those stadiums.
17,000 more tickets are waiting to be purchased. Expanding by 5-8 thousand seats will not eliminate demand.

just for jokes :P

C-Town will have a fit.

Make some more!

[Don Julio]

They should just get great big inflatable airplane slides in case of emergency!

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

the southend...definitely needs a second level........and hopefully MLSE would let THE SUPPORTER GROUPS have control of selling the tickets in that section

the second level needs a second tier for sure...but the exhibition roadway may cause a problem....as for MLSE to let the supporters groups have control of selling tickets in that section? no thanks...lets keep it the way it is.

The stadium was designed for expansion. I just hope they included more cans if they do.

They should be doing that now, its friggen ridiculous. Luckily I have a secret system for using the washroom which last time even got me a free ice cream.

I must sae well done with the photos most impressive, it would nice to see BMO expand and this will means people like myself will get to see a game at BMO. Saw TFC in chivas last season but never been to BMO.

[billyfly]

Reports (don't ask me to find it) from last week indicate that MLSE expansion plans centre mostly around adding to South End.

[C.Ronaldo]

your secret system is using the box seat bathrooms?


lol, that not secret. your just not caught yet.


Keep the peasants away from my box seats :P

[Fort York Redcoat]

Makes sense. It's the section that's most coveted.

Hopefully do something about those wind tunnels in the corners.. and add crappers and another gate.. and..

[billyfly]

We need to find a desingnated seat for the big drum "Thunder".

[billyfly]

I also forgot to mention cheerleaders will be in the stands and the new crappers will be named after Cathal Kelly (trying to merge as many threads as possible)

I hate electronic ad boards, distracts from the game.

I don't care if it's being done in many stadiums in Europe, we're much better off without it.

How about those weird freaky 3D billboards on the goal line they have everywhere. They look like they are standing up, but then you see a guy running over them, or you see a different camera angle and realize they are flat.

For me, the less blinking advertising and ad banners, the better.

It was so cold at the home opener, you must have pee'd in an ice cream cone

[StandUpIfYouHateChelsea]

someday...

please. NO emirates anyone? THAT wouldnt reflect the atmosphere back onto the pitch , it would just diffuse it =P

[MikeM]

I like the way it is right now. Definitely wouldn't like anything that detracts from the skyline when you're inside the stadium.

[Shway]

thought i would bring this back

[GhostKiller]

Didn't they confirm 1,200 extra seats for next season?

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

^ Sorry, but I would hate a roof like that. It would make me feel like I was at a picnic or something.

[Shway]

^^AGREED
but a roof sooner than later

[FluSH]

A Flat Roof is the way to go... It would be a dream come true to have BMO FIELD fitted with a flat roof...

[Roogsy]

A sexy SEXY dream!

There wouldn't be a louder stadium in MLS.

[billyfly]

After the North stands I don't think there will be any seat expansion for awhile.

[zooko62000]

They need to connect the South and east stands, for TV and better atmosphere

[rocker]

i always wished they had put the TV camera on the east stand (there's a platform for it) so that on TV you'd see the double decked west stand, plus the curved, filled-in corner on the southwest side of the stadium. but apparently due to sunlight they have to have it on the west stand.

[canadian_bhoy]

Let's put a lid on it!

[Brooker]

^^^ Omg! Yes!

[Gixmo]

Let's put a lid on it!

That's the ticket, after twinning the South end
