    Default Will there be a halftime show?

    The title may make it seem like I actually care to have one, but I'm actually asking because I personally think the MLS Cup should NOT have a half time show ala Super Bowl/Grey Cup. I can't really remember if there has been one every year as I tend to tune out and take my customary bathroom break at that point — the chili, wings and pizza make it necessary — but there have been some halftime show performances in years past (i.e. Jimmy Eat World, Switchfoot).

    Does anyone know if they are planning one this year? I hope not.

    More likely half time will be lining up for 25 mins to pee for a lot of people. If they could solve that, that would be great.

    Had this debate with a bunch of bandwagon fans today and all of them disagreed with me, so I thought it was necessary I did , though I can understand it draws a viewership that might not otherwise watch the game.


    But please MLS/TFC, I don't want to see Nickelback, Avril Lavigne, Shania Twain or Celine Dion at the halftime...let's keep the spotlight on our beautiful game.

    Estelle? Kanye West? Nonsense. MLS had Third Eye Blind play one Cup. I admit to marking out for that.

    But really, fuck concerts at sporting events.

    I think she was the halftime show when we hosted the All-Star game in 2008, not the MLS cup in 2010.

    Seriously.. I'd prefer MLS save the $$ from a half time show and rent a few hundred porta pottys :-)

    How about the Akells? Or Deadmau5? Or Metric? A decent local act!

    I'd watch Avril and Nickelback fight in the BMO dumpster over their splitting up. That would be worth the walk to the North end.

    But please - no musical accompaniment to the tussle.

    Well that's just what you need to sell out a game these days in Toronto, what with all the event fatigue and such.

    LOL. Let's see if they have anyone.
    MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
