Will be quite a celebration 100% outdoor as of Feb 17 actually. Will definitely be a full house. Floortom and TGAA_Star 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 It would've been a full capacity crowd under the old "roadmap" anyway, which would have seen restrictions lifted a week or two prior to the game. TGAA_Star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadenge Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I really hope there's a push for putting in extra seating at BMO in the north side for this game. There's going to be massive demand for tickets and I'm sure prices are going to get bumped so whatever it costs to put up extra stands go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way it would be anything less than full capacity at this point if Toronto Public Health took action similar to what their counterparts in Hamilton did even after the province was going to let it be 100%. When you look at how Toronto has acted in terms of extra measures in the past I would be very surprised if such an action was taken at this point.

I guess it would come down to them deciding if it was worth it financially, would you recover the costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra seats were adding for the MLS finals and conference championship in 2016 and 17, if I recall correctly. I don't see the CSA doing this to be honest. They'll be content with selling out 30k at BMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was not the same at it was quite the structure that was put up months ahead as BMO was hosting the Grey Cup and Heritage Classic. It was just luck that TFC made the 2016 East Final and MLS Cup Final that year in 2016 and got to benefit from it, adding about 5,000 seats for those matches. It was not there in 2017 when TFC won the title. For the Real Madrid match it some thing that was just put up on the north patio or now would be the CFL end zone. Here is a picture of what that stand looked like, which lead to a stand being built later one. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering what happened to those north seats. At any rate, I don't think they'll put up any extra seats on either end this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king1010 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 They had these temp seats in the north endzone from about 2017 to 2019. https://aviewfrommyseat.es/large-photo/88343/BMO+Field/sección-221/fila-10/asiento-7/ Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past for soccer its been on what would be the end zone either temporary like it was for the Real Madrid game or the one that built and taken down when the Argos moved into BMO.

The official attendance for the 2016 Eastern conference final was slightly in excess of 38K. I know because that game and the first leg in Montreal drew just under 100K combined. There was over 60K at the Big O. They added a big stand behind the south end and that was what mainly pushed the limits to an additonal 7K seats. Edit.: You are right, it was 36K. It might have been an additional 5k seats taking it to 36K TORvsMTL 11-30-2016 | MLSsoccer.com For the first leg, it was 61K MTLvsTOR 11-22-2016 | MLSsoccer.com Edited February 15, 2022 by Free kick Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For comparison the MLS Cup in 2017 without the southend stand was 30, 584. BMO Field when GA tickets are on sale for TFC can jam in around 2k + or so in addition to its 28K capacity.
