Game might actually see a lot of walk-up ticket sales simply because the weather is nice.

Let's hope so, it would have to be a large walk up to get to 20,000.

Great weather tomorrow for the real home opener back at BMO !! Let's go Reds !!
Cheapest seat on ticketmaster was $53. Not much walk up at that price.
Keane confirmed out of the game, he didn't travel due to injury.
What is great is O'Dea saying he wishes Keane and Donovan were playing so when TFC beats them LA has no excuses =D
Apparently Danny Koevermans will be signing autographs from 12 to 1

This.
It's the same situation everywhere in the world with long-term losing teams.
We should not expect any full-capacity BMO at least until TFC-s record will be neutral (I mean same number of wins with losses) over 2-4 months. This in the most optimistic view possible.
So I guess if everything would go perfect, full BMO-s coming in August, September?
I am planning to bring some buddies over to Shoeless Joe's before the game. What time do folks usually leave the pub to march to the stadium?
Gonna have to PVR the game unfortunately due to being busy with Easter shenanigans but I hope we put in a good effort today.
I feel like winning. 2-1 TFC, Earnshaw and Silva, who scores the winner off the bench.
I doubt it. I think meaningful games in October are required to get the "walkup" up to 10K (I'm guessing the current SSH count is around 10K). Notwithstanding the weather, I think people will be shocked at how empty BMO is today. The casual fan won't be back until there's real buzz, and that is only happening for either a name DP, or for the playoffs.

On stub hub today prices were in the mid 20 dollar range for 116-117. Higher for elsewhere in the stadium with an overall average in the mid 30s. Probably indicates decent crowd but no sell out. I'll call "real" attendance of about 18k.
Don't mind seeing the empty seats. This club needs to start working harder for the money and I mean that off the field too.
The lines and odds for this game from "5 Dimes" sportsbook:
Los Angeles to win = +129
Toronto to win = +237
Draw = +240
Game Total:
OVER 2½ = +102
UNDER 2½ = -117
TFC is considered a big underdog again.
Thanks!
Hmm...Juninho and Marcelo Sarvas vs Dunfield/Hall
I wonder why they're favored....
Hmmm.... build up play. nice to see early in a game for a change.
Ugh....LA feed on firstrow. No context to anything. Anybody got one showing TSN?
We had a ton of terrible long balls so far!
And zero creativity up front.
I must have missed it because all i've seen in the first 13 minutes is the same old Mariner style of play. Kick and run garbage. Is Bendik trying to score one himself? LOL
Dunfield on dead balls in the middle of the field.
So disappointing right now.
Like watching Mariner football now were down 1
Welcome Ladies and Gents to the good 'ol TFC!
LOL, worst "goooooal" impersonation by the announcer.(LA Feed)
What is it with the long balls? Next to useless.
Were playing on grass too.
There still tryin to just kick it forward and hope that Earnshaw can come down with it. That play is only going to work when Koves comes back
... and, by the way, very well deserved lead by LA, since we're playing like shit.
I'm sorry but what we're currently playing is not football. It's atrocious. Long throw in. 70 yard punts by the keeper. Every ball going forward is a long ball being played to a 50/50 ball at best.
It's pathetic.
Maybe that's why Cesar was released. He actually wanted an opportunity to play the ball with his feet beyond hoofing it up field. They'd better change these tactics asap otherwise LA is going to make this ugly.
There is a perfect example why Dunfield deserves to be on the bench, horrible clumsy tackle.
Has Bostock even touched the ball yet?
