    Default TFC Fan Cam, pretty cool.

    TFC will be doing a high definition image that will capture the Rogers Centre in its entirety, and fans, it is a 360 degree pic that everyone in the stadium will be in. It has been done before and is pretty cool, here is the one they did at a Michigan football game at the big house.

    The one downfall of a thing like this is if you have called in sick or something, caught at the game on camera lol

    Awesome concept. I wonder at what point will the photo be taken? Players entering the pitch, national anthem, first kick, etc...

    ^ I'm guessing just before kick-off. They need to position the camera in the middle of the pitch. Well, unless they plan to suspend it or something.

    Fan cam will be positioned midfield on the sidelines.

    They had this at Wembley when I went home for the FA Cup Final last year! Mum found us - pretty cool!

    Couldn't identify at which point it was taken though - I wasn't looking very happy lol.
    Bite me.

    I was there - Montreal 18/6/09 - 6-1 baby!

    There is a link in the page that says to attach an email. I am hoping they will send a message out to when they are about to take the photo. I will make sure to comb my hair.

    Cashcleaner is spot on, it was taken a bit before kick off. A guy with a fancy looking camera at the centre of the pitch took a series of photos.

    Well hopefully everyone was in their seats...which is highly doubtful. Too bad they couldn't have it suspended over the field during play...the perfect picture would have been after Silva scored his goal....the place was insane.

    To bad they didn't take it before the 2nd half when the dome was full. The stadium was nearly empty before kickoff. Hopefully I was in my seat when they took the pic....

    They chose a terrible time to take the picture. Atmosphere was a it's worst. I was personally counting the seconds to half-time to avoid an early comeback and so I could move to a different seat where I wouldn't be hurting the sensitivity of 20 Beckham-loving teenage girls when calling him a prick.

    Yeah, it looks like it was right after their first goal, which totally deflated the atmosphere.

    So I tagged myself on the pic and just because I was a little bored, I decided to see who was drinking out of a green beer can (assuming it's a Carlsberg) near the corner flag where one was thrown at Beckham. Obviously this is no real way of identifying the culprit, but it makes for a fun game of "Who did it?" with my 6 year old son by looking at people's faces - we found a lot of suspects! I did see one green Carlsberg can by the way, but the face was obscured....Newman!!!

    The 500-level was pretty empty at the beginning of the game, so they had to wait a while so most people were in their seats (and before they started leaving again). Our group looks good at least, very into the game!

    Doing it right after a TFC goal wouldn't work well. What with the streamers, people standing/bouncing/hugging/high-fiving, you wouldn't be able to see half the people.

    Strange.....


    The score board shows the time as 39:30, but I am not in my seat. The only time I wasn't actually in my seat during the game was the first 2 minutes of the 2nd half....
