Hmmm...Boddingtons. Might have to find out where that is. There are no indicators of the usual beer carts.
I was pleased by this list. I hope at least one of Lowenbrau, Boddingtons, or Rolling Rock will be on tap somewhere. Hopefully Lowenbrau where Leffe was the last few years.
Maybe I will actually buy a couple overpriced pints down there now. Going to be hard to get used to paying out the arse again but I usually have no time for pre-match pints and their selection of trash since InBev took over made it easy to avoid booze altogether. It wasn't easy either. If last September/October didn't make people want to drink then I don't know what will.

The east stand is way higher than the west but I think once the roof goes on it wont seem so unbalanced. Based on this picture, the roof on the east stand connects with the back of the stand. On the west side the roof is much higher than the back of the stand. Looks to me like this will bring the east and west roofs to almost the same height.
I wonder if the west roof will be independent of the structure, allowing them to tear it down in the future. They could then re-build the west to match the east.
Did they do any up-grades at all to the west stands? Are the washrooms now winterized? If not they still can't turn the water on for a winter classic.
So according to Larson, TFC is going to use the south concourse as standing room if games sell out.
Same as you, I'm really wondering about possible upgrades other than the expansion. I've asked about this a couple of times but received no response. Have the old washrooms & all plumbing been winterized? (It's not just for the Winter Classic; March MLS games can also be affected by frozen pipes.) Are the washrooms heated now? Have the drainage problems on the west-side concourse been fixed?
If the west-side roof is really that high, it won't offer much protection from the rain (similar to the south-end roof). Rain rarely falls straight down.
the seats in 110 that I was forced out of because they were being removed are still there in that photo! lol
I guess that extra entrance will be built later this year.
On a positive note, the ticket rep offered the tickets to us for free for the home opener in addition to the seats that we had to move to.
Not too shocked that they want to force the supporters from 110 and 111.
But, perhaps for the sake of the map, it was just easier to keep it to the south end (yellow) sections.
They're still trying hard to sell out the opener. We still don't know what they're going to do to the north end in the event of the Argos,
Point is, is it really worth pissing off your fans for the sake of a couple private boxes that are likely empty anyways?
I just moved to the top of 111 so I can see downfield more.
I'll be standing until they say don't and I'll just point out one of the benefits when I relocated, was listed as
"Persistent standing will be permitted through the match".
Larson did a tour yesterday - video here

"How much shit do I talk? THIS MUCH"
Just spoke to a TFC rep....top of 110/111 still a supporters section!! Phew!!
That said, dependant on the atmosphere up there this year, my drum and I may look at moving into 112 for next season.....time will tell!

Damn I can not wait for Sunday! And just think, all that with a roof on it!

Now let's make the playoffs and start winning
Well I just did a tour of the place, hardhat and all.
Its overwhelming how much of a change there is. Still a lot of work to do before this weekends game but that video gives a good preview of how different it is.
