    Canada vs Denmark in Tucson? A little off topic, but apart of the link. The jays are not playing then so why not the Dome?

    I like this earlier start for the league. Will help reduce summer congestion and also aid teams in the CCL by giving them meaningful games to dig into sooner.

    March 16 is @ Montreal, their home opener at Olympic Stadium.

    Fun start to the season. At Vancouver, home opener likely at Skydome, at Montreal with all TFC SSHs getting free tickets. Can't wait.

    I suppose this means our home Mtl match which was being floated for an early season game at the Dome is off. I can't see the value in putting it in later in the season once BMO is open.
    That's all I'll say about that.

    Will be interesting to see how TFC handles the seating of the SSH for this game.
    I wonder how many seats there are at the various levels of the skydome vs the number of SSH that TFC will have at game time?

    Already looking at flights for the Vancouver game, from my travels to Portland & Seattle, there are always a few TFC fans in BC who make it out. Let's hope this game begins the season better than last year.

    there are still TFC fans in BC?

    Can they sell it for dirt cheap without upsetting the SSHs?

    As long as all the SSH get the best seats - lower bowl. They can give the 300 level away for free and I would not care.

    There was a promise that single tickets would never be cheaper than SSH tickets, right? I'm guessing they'll be able to sell the upper bowls for cheaper so long as there aren't Light Grey SSH stuck up there. Or, if this is going to be an annual thing, invest in some tarps with TFC graphics to cover the upper bowls like Seattle and Vancouver does.

    I think its a bit of a joke that BMO has a heated pitch but the rest of the stadium hasn't been outfitted for operation in cold months. It's time to make that investment in BMO Field as early season games/CCL quarters/semis/finals and MLS post-season all have potential to be in the cold months and I find it irritating that we would not play these games on our home turf. The put in a state of the art field, USE IT!!

    The lower bowl of the Rogers Centre is just over 31,000 seats, so they could very easily place every season ticket holder in it and off them additional tickets at a highly discounted price. In reality the lower bowl could be for the STH and the upper 500 level could be for the public at a cheap rate like the 12.00 they charged for the LA game.

    So this possibly means the RPB season seat holders may be called on to buy up the extra seats for use by other RPB members before the scalpers get em

    Yes they could and season ticket holders in general, i wonder if it could be set up so when you pick your seats you could also purchase additional tickets so they could all be together. I assume they will only open the 500 level when interest warrants it as they do with Argo games.

    Also it should be noted that on March 16 in Montreal GSP returns to the Octogon at UFC 158 that is taking place that evening at the Bell Centre. So with TFC, UFC and St. Patricks Day all wrapped into one 24 hour period it should be one hell of a party.

    if it is tfc vs skc at the rogers centre they realy fucked it up.

    i know schedulemakers have a tough job but there should be benchmark games that they should place on the schedule before filling in the rest

    a huge opportunity will be missed by not having a TFC-impact home and home in massive venues,


    nobody (well some do) want to go to rogers centre to watch tfc vs skc
