If we win the mls is back tourney i want a replica champs ring!
My thinking is that ML$E can cram their 10% credit. I don't buy stuff at the stadium.
What pisses me off about this is that Manning was all we will make sure to take care of everyone and make it special. That conference call a few months ago gave me hope. So basically they sat on this for this long, only to come back with a similar thing to the Leafs/Raps. Here's some money for overpriced chicken fingers. That's great Bill, truly A1.
You want to show some solid customer service? Take 10% off next years SSH instead.
The Athletic saying they are proposing the 3 Canadian teams play each other 6x from mid-August to mid-September and then they are hoping the restrictions to travel/enter Canada would be gone and the remaining games could be concluded within the conference (no idea what happens if restrictions still in place - TFC to pick a “USA” home?! —- all sounds a bit crazy but who knows?!

Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
And this could be a problem for Toronto FC since BMO Field is being used as one of the venues for the NHL playoffs (not as a playing venue, but a place for the teams to go to for exercises, etc).
Or maybe they could play out of the BMO Training Grounds during this time since it's unlikely fans will be allowed back in at that time?
From the article
MLS will allow teams to host fans in stadiums if local guidelines permit them to do so.
Experience with the USL indicates fans show up with masks & then about 5% stop wearing them. Do I trust Americans to be smart about all this around guys who some of them pathologically despise like Jozy? Nope
I'd think they'd have to be after mid-September ... unless they could come up a deal, where three or six US teams test heavily and quarantine for a week, and then play all the Canadian teams once or twice - with the Canadian teams doing all their US road games afterwards, in one sweep.
To those of you who have called in, does anyone know what Special Merchandise Credit means? The word special is tripping me up. Will certain things be excluded at the shop at the stadium/real sports? Is this just a generic credit to be used at the stadium for food/drinks/clothes in whatever ratio you desire?
Major League Baseball is already warning of a potential season shutdown less than a week into their restart. Multiple cases already reported and Miami with a major outbreak of around 20 cases.
Basically showing what with happen to MLS. No bubble means no safety.
Report: Manfred threatens shutdown if teams don't follow COVID-19 rules
https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/1993820
So much bickering in MLB. The players and owners have been at loggerheads for a while. I'm sure Manfred will look for any excuse to blame the players for COVID outbreaks - it could affect player compensation down the road. Not that the players are doing themselves any favours when they do breach distancing guidelines. Both sides have to learn to work together.
Idiocy looming in USL - LAG2 team has 8 confirmed cases.
How Canadians feel about the border staying closed:
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
I'm personally am not worried about Covid since I had the bastard already but I wouldn't go down because I assume getting travel insurance will be a pain in the ass now and depending on where you go, medical care might be a disaster if something bad happens. Too many potential hassles/problems.
Not even thinking about anything outside Ontario until next year.
I work at airport. Can confirm border wide open via air.
Yes the air borders are open. And there is an advisory to avoid all non-essential international travel until further notice. The government can only do so much to micro manage common sense. And then has to spend resources monitoring post-return quarantines.
Go camping. Ontario is yours to discover.
Actually, you should see some of the posts that have been written on the dedicated camping groups on Facebook. Especially first timers who are trying out camping only because there is not much else for them to do/go.
They are the ones who do not really know about camping etiquette, and end up not respecting the rules, leave when they are supposed, leave the washrooms in a mess, and also leave their garbage everywhere as well.
I don't mind camping, just as long as I can stay at a Westin.
