    I can't vote on this poll, because it only allows one answer... as ManUtd4ever & many others have said: for the weekends, early afternoons in spring and late fall; evenings during the summer. (September evening games can still be awesome.)

    The spring is the worst in the evening -- Lake Ontario makes it so much colder down near the waterfront than the rest of the city during that time. Doesn't matter how many layers I wear; didn't help when I when I was in the south end for a few games and jumped around. Alcohol also doesn't help me. Friends and family that normally come along, also aren't interested in the cold evening games in spring & fall. I go anyway regardless, but I would be happier with early afternoon games during that time.

    With web fares it can be much cheaper than driving and staying over for a night.

    I do agree though that mid summer it only makes sense to have games after or close to sun down.
    Just curious,

    Do you buy your VIA tickets in advance with the release of the schedule?

    Also to note, all times for home matches for the campaign are expected to be released next week so stay tuned for more information.

    As soon as the schedule had game times attached I was looking for Weekend games that fit my personal calendar.
    As soon as I could I would book VIA web fares and then secure a game ticket. Most often I would call on members of the RPB and could usually get a ticket at cost that way.

    A few times I even managed to get a ticket through an Air Miles deal and sometimes even used Air Miles to get VIA gift cards which also helped to keep the costs down.

    As always the "times subject to change" clause sets me up for big problems but so far so good.

    P.S. Justin I notice your location is listed as Wychwood village Toronto. Where is that exactly?
    I only ask as I am somewhat addicted to the beers and ales of the Wychwood Brewery in England

    I assume around St. Clair West, west of Bathurst, in Toronto. Wychwood Ave, Wychwood Park, Wychwood Barns, etc.

    St. Clair West, best spot in Toronto anyway.

    Nice. Prefer 8 over 7:30 but those 7pm kick offs last year were awful.

    wish Toronto would get the scheduling right like Montreal

    http://www.impactmontreal.com/en/schedule

    10 games with 6pm or later KO on weekend (7 of them are 7:30pm)

    also for those traveling to Montreal away in August, game has been moved to the Sunday (6:00PM KO)

    I'm sure once the broadcast schedule for us is released it'll be changed on the website.

    And thanks Prizby for pointing this out. With the change I'm certainly more able to make the trek to Montreal.

    Looking at L'Impact schedule and I hope it's similar to our. 4:00pm starts in the Spring would be awesome! Just hope night games in summer are at 7:00pm but now I'm just being picky.

    Just started a new job that has me working pretty much every Saturday, so personally 7 p.m. would be ideal.

    So every year for some reason, a few teams probably get wind of a couple match times and they post them on their site, but it isn't reflected on ours. Toronto FC seem to have an all-in or all-nothing attitude with home kick-off times. I've learned to wait but I've also learned a trick. Well it's not really a trick, I just go to the other team's websites.

    So far, from the other team's websites this is what I've come up with for kick-off times. These are not official so please just use it as a guide until the club officially announces the times which I suspect will be very soon. Hope this helps.

    March 22 v DC United - TBD
    April 12 v Colorado Rapids - TBD
    May 3 v New England Revolution - 1:00pm
    May 7 v Vancouver Whitecaps (ACC) - 7:30pm
    May 17 v New York Red Bulls - TBD
    May 31 v Columbus Crew - 5:00pm
    June 7 v San Jose Earthquakes - 4:00pm
    July 5 v DC United - TBD
    July 12 v Houston Dynamo - 7:00pm
    July 16 v Vancouver Whitecaps - 8:00pm
    July 26 v Sporting Kansas City - 7:00pm
    August 23 v Chicago Fire - 7:00pm
    August 30 v New England Revolution - TBD
    September 6 v Philadelphia Union - 2:00pm
    September 21 v Chivas USA - 3:00pm
    September 27 v Portland Timbers - 1:00pm
    October 8 v Houston Dynamo - 7:30pm
    October 18 v Montreal Impact - 2:00pm

    Now that you know of a few times, are you happy, upset, concerned? I'll put my thoughts in another post.

    the only official, official time we know so far is the Chivas USA home game on a Sunday at 3:00pm because UniMas is broadcasting and that is their slot

    As long as the games aren't Noon or 1pm, I don't care. Those games are awful. A lot of the southend is still hungover from Friday, myself included.

    I'm stoked we have 2-games during the CNE...

    Two Saturday's, a 7pm & 5pm...

    LOVE the games during the EX - free admission, the beer tents all around the stadium, & the atmosphere with the crowds etc...

    Plus, who can forget partying with the Carnies!
