Ideas for improving BMO
Ok, Ok, I stole this idea from the other thread and I know, I know that this has been talked about before but.....
What can MLSE do (or not b/c they don't own the building yadda yadda) to just make BMO feel less like a tin can?
Paint the concrete red?
Have a large TFC logo shield on the gates?
Etc...
***Please try not to mention expansion***
Paint "THIS IS BMO. THIS IS OUR HOUSE" in the tunnel where the players come out. CBC is showing that at the beginning of games and I noticed several players touch the ceiling before coming out.
it already says 'This is our house' thats why they are touching it.Originally Posted by billyfly
how about painting the railings red.
I can't tell from the TV. You sure? Am I blind then?
Real grass and a roof (someone had to say it!!!).
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
I've been saying this since the first season...
get ropes or barriers so that people stand in line ALONG the concourse, instead of across it. It's so damn simple but it's never happened.

1) Cheaper beer/food
2) Allow street meat vendors to be sold just outside of the premises
3) More naked girls (Good looking ones, none of that 2nd rate stuff).
^^ Agreed. It's too bad BMO's colouring is Blue. I'm happy with BMo as it almost sounds like a nicknamey kind of name. There's no ring to Dick's Sporting Goods Park. But BMO has a nice sound. But them being blue goes against the Aesthetic of the team...like with the Best seat fans they show at halftime or whatever with their blue scarves and shirts....dont look like TFC mans to me. So Great job BMO for giving us cash and not having a stupid name but do like other brands do for sports teams and relate our style into your product....it's not like our red is similar to any other major bank (TD-green, CIBC-dark muted red, Royal-blue)
Isn't that why you live in Hamilton?

Second Level in the southend would be a nice start!....Tickets distributed through the SG'S!
For the love of God, grass.
he said no second rate stuff!!!
more gaveweay at game
a) Put folding seats in the south end. Nobody's going to use them either way, but at least it would give people more room to stand up.
b) A bleedin' roof and a north stand.IMO that's what BMO really needs.
tim, have you ever actually purchased anything in your life?
i'm assuming this thread is not about the obvious grass/seating expansion. personally, i'd like to see more stuff painted red. i'd also like to see the smoke that is used also changed to red. red, red, red.
Yes. No expansion talk. Details and touch-ups. Painting stuff red seems to be the common choice.
They should put Fathead style decals on the cement floor. Have ones with a bit of texture....so
1) the boring grey cement wouldn't be so boring and
2) the floor wouldn't be so slipery when wet
A couple things could be better:
- That black iron picket fence that runs around the building's perimeter is okay but a classic red brick fence surrounding it would look awesome and add some charm to the place.
- Opening some more gates besides Gate 1 and Gate 3 on matchdays would be nice to prevent the log jam effect that happens.
- Since 2007 I 've been asking why a place named after a bank has only a hand full of bank machines.
Easy stuff:
1. Electronic adboards plllleeeeaaaaseeee ... why? .. because I love them
2. Better nets (ours look messed up for some reason ... there's all this crap at the back and the corners of the net are higher than the crossbar)
3. Toronto FC logo pitch side ala FCB logo at the Camp Nou
+1000
For the love of shoes, make it so.
Support Local Football.
just sayin'
It would be nice to get rid of seats in supporters sections - but I'm not holding my breath on that one.
Aluminum overtop the concrete would be cool - more sound when jumping + more give when jumping.

How about the Extra Time countdown?
It sucks not knowing how much time is to be added.
Membership Team
yes please
its almost claustraphobic trying to get through the folks in line for food
terrible design but this would at least be an improvement
PARKY FOR MAYOR
wow 2016 and things are looking up --- come on you reds lets go
I know the corners can't be filled because of fire laws etc, but maybe putting something on the top of the corners, like an ad or something for continuity, to kind of link the east/south stands? It looks like a kids park and if they were connected it would look more like a stadium.
Also, north end stands would be great, there shouldn't be a separate bar area, the whole place should be for drinking
yeah i agree....whats the deal with that????
Free boat rides for 3 ???
i dont know why they dont put the extra time on the smaller video screen... where they have the "esquire added time." why dont they actually put up a timer so we can see how much more time there is....
I'M ON A BOAT!
Also put some damn outlets in the NW tunnel...
I guess this falls under the expansion category but it's always been a pet peeve of mine that you can't draw a line down any part of BMO and have it be symmetrical.
Painting things red and having big fathead graphics are a good idea too though.
outlets? symmetry???
