TO TORONTOGOONER AND RYAN:
me and my buddy are about to grab tickets- I'm sure all will be fine but reading some nice stuff about ocfc lack of regard for away support - would like to be with some others if possible - saw you guys were section 103 - have exact seat locations? anyone interested in meeting up beforehand for beers and to walk in?
wifi? your at a game, who cares.
fans being belligerent fans? really you never seen any at TFC games? not even a comparison to going to some football clubs in Europe, belligerent is the least you could hope for, some Italy football clubs Ultras are pretty bad themselves, much worse then anything in MLS, while Juventus may not have the worst reputation of Ultras hooligans in Italy but i'm sure Juventus Ultras are no walk in the park either.
BMO field line ups for beer,food and washrooms have been bad at times over the years. And tho I don't take a cab from BMO field, with the crowds trying to get out on the GO train and traffic being blocked its slow moving and bottle neck at Exhibition Station which will only get worse as capacity rises to 30k, and then mention construction on the QEW or other subways and buses, exc BMO field wasn't and isn't always easy to get to. Really a lot of this just sounds normal to me, doesn't sound bad at all, typical stuff.
Orlando's new stadium looks sick tho, jealous of it, can't wait until it is built!

Transportation and Hotel sorted for the Chicago game, how would I go about getting a ticket to stand with the other TFC fans? Should I go through ticketmaster or is there someone in specific I should email?
Contact: dberchem@chicago-fire.com
He is handling away ticketing. Still plenty of space available.
I'm going, will get a ticket at the stadium. Weather looks like it may cooperate; might be a few more than the sparse crowds they've had so far this season but nothing close to a sell out.
The Fire ticket rep told me yesterday there's around 50 confirmed TFC fans going, possibly more as the day get closer.
For anyone that hasn't been in contact for chicago:
If you want to join a bunch of us for pre game is downtown it will be at trophy room, they are giving us 20% off food both pre and post game. A 24 seats bus is leaving trophy room at 1230 and returning by 530 but it is sold out, if you are not on the bus you can still come out and a cab convoy can be arranged.
visiting supporters parking lot 5 S anybody tailgaiting there, thinking about going abit early leaving the car at hotel and just having a beverage or two
Had a great time in Chicago last September. Except for when Gilberto's goal in extra time was disallowed by the same moron ref that gave Justin Morrow a red card in Columbus a couple of weeks ago.
Have fun whoever's going. And if you spot a Garrett Gourmet Popcorn store, pick up some CheeseCorn. It's the fuckin' best popcorn you'll ever taste.
TORONTO FC, 2017 MLS CHAMPIONS!!! (Still the greatest in league history!)
Sounds like there's a few of us going to Chicago. Great stuff. Let's get some beers going and get our voices up.
See you at the Trophy Room for pre game pints
Anyone know what happened to the philly trip on thesupportersection.com? The link seems to lead to nowhere now.
Darn, had so much fun during the chicago roadtrip and was looking forward to this trip. Time to start asking around if anyone has an empty seat in their car and is driving from Toronto to Philly haha
Thinking about catching the via up to mtl for the 1st leg of the vcup... anyone else going?
For pregame I'm hitting a new Japanese pub not too far from where I'm staying.
It's a short 5 minute downhill walk from the resto to the Metro(subway) that will take you to the stadium.

Just look for the guy wearing TFC gear if you want to join me.
Alright guys, my friend and I are going to rent a car and drive to Philly for the game so we will have 2 unused seats in the car for the trip. I guess you can PM me or reply to this comment if you're interested in coming along and are willing to pitch in gas money. We're either leaving late Friday afternoon or early Saturday morning and coming back sunday evening.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
Haven't done any road trips for quite some time now due to time constraints.
