I used to have front row season seats in 107 from 2007-2018, and the account executive never responded to issues, and they always found reasons to add on extra charges. When the team got really good, they didn't care about the loyal season ticket holders that dealt with such horrible teams since day one. We didn't even get priority for MLS cup tickets. It's no surprise to me that they are having trouble with season ticket sales. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now I sell my pair in 113 and just grab tickets to the few games I do want to attend. Its too damn expensive for me to buy a full season package almost anywhere else in the stadium. The prices are insane now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what it's been in like since the pandemic, the south is more about atmosphere. Which is more fun. I found sitting in 107 or in the club seats, it's more like going to a leaf game, no one really says anything, more like a cocktail crowd. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way better experience. I will keep my tickets for now and hopefully when my son gets older (now just 6) he will get into it. Currently he doesn't care much for soccer.

He usually loses interest in the second half and we need to leave. Maybe I should just come at half time but knowing TFC lately they'll already be down. Section 120 is a pretty good spot. Get to sit down but close enough to the south end to get the vibe. It is getting expensive for seasons though. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair my legacy pricing is still $390 per ticket I think for 113. They sent me an email yesterday saying I can add south end tickets for $680 per ticket.

RJB Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 And their new kit is grey!! Disgusting. I fear VFC will do the same. Just awful. And they're trying to reinvent themselves with hoops now? Give me a break! Teams: Pick a colour, make a shirt that colour, and stick with it. I guess The TFC are going to be the Grey's now? I see the Whitecaps are going with horizontal stripes that are wide than they've been before. Interesting. Next will be diagonal that are wider than the past. I haven't seen any explanation for what it all means, and why they've done certain things, but I'm sure it's a pile of crap - like every other team's is! Let's see, red for heart and honour, and the grey stripes are to represent the fans, because they are the concrete pillars of the team. I should have a job in marketing. Seriously though, a grey jersey is terrible. Doubly so when your main colour is red. baulderdash77 and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a graphic designer and a kit collector. Looks like his inspiration were the drums in the south end & 2014 onyx TFC away kit. He also reaffirmed that kit development is a 2 year cycle. He only saw the first prototype 14 months into the process. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/article-toronto-fcs-new-home-kit-comes-straight-from-the-heart-of-longtime/ gator and longlugan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red card Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I haven't seen TFC/TSN release their linear tv schedule. So, here's TFC on TSN based on what MLS schedule is showing at this point. Though, not all free matches on Apple TV have been finalized yet. June has 3 TFC matches on TSN/RDS but none in May as it is taken over by Caps/CFM. 2 matches in the other months ex February/October. 2 All-Canadian match ups aren't on TSN/RDS: One TFC/CFM and one Caps/CFM match. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for grey, "dull", you'd be surprised. I have a black TFC keeper's shirt, which I got from a TFC keeper, and I'm very successful in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gator Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I don't follow non Canadian MLS teams that closely but I have never heard of Servania, it seems he is an American homegrown player, it looks like TFC will have quite an American flair to them once again! baulderdash77, Jack1997 and narduch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya. Gets harder and harder with expansion to follow all the teams. This year there will be 6 West teams TFC won't play at all (based on a quick skim through of the schedule). Seems like this new guy is another project. 23 isn't thst young. gator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not going to happen for many reasons discussed on here and every other NA soccer platform ad nauseam but imagine how much more interesting the league would be if they had promotion and relegation? When you don't even play all the teams in your league at least once it could be a sign that there are too many teams in your league!

Probably a good deal if he can replace some of Bradley’s minutes in midfield Transfermarkt seems to rate him: https://www.transfermarkt.com/brandon-servania/profil/spieler/455979 but that kind of begs the question why Dallas would want Jimenez instead of him after what happened in the second half of last season. Suspect this means Bob Bradley is comfortable that Akinola is back on track. Both him or Jimenez were unlikely to still be on the roster for the start of the season once they brought in Diomande. Edit: this maybe helps explain what made the trade work for FC Dallas. ...Toronto FC will retain a portion of Jiménez’s salary budget charge.
