    They never have games during the air show AFAIK, so September 7 is out.

    You'll be pleased to know they reserved the August 22 and August 28 dates at BMO for the Argos (obvious attempt to boost their dismal attendance).

    MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto

    Just for clarification, the CNE is open from August 21 to September 7. These aren't TFC games.

    TFC plays at home August 15 (Philly) and then Sept 12 (Atlanta)

    The Argos can beg people to go to their games with the promise of deep friend oreo hot dogs.

    September 7 is part of the FIFA international break. But don't forget Canada is probably playing World Cup qualifiers twice in the 31 August to 8 September 2020 windows (as well as the October and November breaks).

    So might end up with two soccer games at BMO during the CNE, as well as 2 Argos game, and still not have any during the air show.

    Though I thought there was at least one match on an airshow day sometime in the last 12 years ...

    The air show ends at 3pm. It would have to be an unusually early start time for a game on the Labour Day weekend if it was going to be happening while loud jets were zooming over at low altitude.

    I wouldn't think it was a sound issue - especially as you are correct, the air show is quite early. I assumed that it was because those days have the highest CNE attendance, and adding in another 30,000 people at BMO Field is problematic.
