@narduch , I feel like CONCACAF can't announce the venue for the CNL semi-finals/ finals until after the November games are done.

If somehow Mexico falls to Honduras I can see CONCACAF hosting the the last-chance qualifying thing in the Dallas area and the CNL at the venue that would otherwise have hosted the last-chance thing.

Basically a switcheroo ↔️ to maximize revenue for CONCACAF's primary cash cow.

I hope you have bought a ticket for November and will bring back the sign @The Real Marc.

 

Haters gonna hate

Sadly ...  BMO staff made us take down the poster. And then it got mangled on the way home.

The reaper has since met his maker at the local recycling facility.

Maybe we need a different sign.

Nice Stadium aka The Jerry Center  but I think the Final should take place in New York/ East Rutherford NJ .

[dyslexic nam]

I asked this before, so apologies, but does anybody have any hotel recommendations close to the stadium?  Ideally reasonably priced, and if possible, somewhat close to other attractions.

Sorry - Toronto.  

[dyslexic nam]

And as long as I am being annoying - if I stay somewhere in the downtown core, how do folks usually get to BMO?

GO Train. One stop heading westbound from downtown Union station.

Get off at Exhibition station.

Go to the "Train Map" and look at the dark red line.

Thanks.  Will probably check out hotels within reasonable walking distance of Union.

They are often not the cheapest but they are the most convenient.

Toronto is built so that everything converges on Union Station.

Yeah we will grab the UP Express and then settle in. 
 

Sorry to everyone for highjacking the thread.

I tried to purchase 4 tickets for the game against Jamaica in the supporters section but it’s saying i exceeded my purchase limit. I haven’t bought any yet. Anyone know why this is happening?

There is a hotel on the exhibition grounds a short walk to the stadium. Not sure of the cost. Hotel X or something like that.

You can also take the streetcar from Bathrust station to the stadium. As well as Union. They run more frequently then the go.

I'm hearing ads for the Jamaica home game on Spotify music podcasts that I listen to.

They gonna open the top part of the stadium? Or or is that reserved for the 2026 wc only? 🤪

So seeding for the CNL finals is based upon results in the two QF games? So number of points from W/D/L total, then goal difference, etc.

Seems like the US and Mexico will have the advantage. Maybe the US takes the foot off the gas in the second game away. Not sure Honduras can dig deep to Mexico keep close.

Back to needing to beat both the top two to win a trophy then.

It says that is how it works for the CNL finals but it's not clear how it works for the last-chance qualifiers should we fall to Jamaica.

I wouldn't say it's a given they finish top 2. Don't count out Honduras, especially when they have a home game without COVID restrictions. They can give Mexico problems (and of course Jamaica can give us problems too). USA finishing top seed is a good bet though. That looks like the biggest mismatch in the QFs.
