BMO Field

BMO Field is a sports stadium located in Toronto, Canada, that opened in 2007. Originally, it was built specifically to be a football stadium for Toronto FC in Major League Soccer (MLS), but it has since been renovated to make it usable as an American Football stadium for the Toronto Argonauts.

The stadium is nice and compact and isn’t an all-singing, all-dancing arena like many of the other new builds that have gone up in the USA and Canada since the turn of the century.

The relatively small nature of the stadium makes it fan-friendly – all seats in the stadium are close to the pitch, and there are no restricted views. Additionally, the acoustics inside the place are excellent, which helps boost the atmosphere.

Away fans are generally very complimentary about the stadium. These supporters are put in section 2018 in the upper tier of the east stand, which is at one end of BMO Field.

The stadium is easy to get to, and the facilities in and around it are more than adequate.

BMO Field will play host to six matches during the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup. These matches are as follows:

• 12 June: Group Stage match
• 17 June: Group Stage match
• 20 June: Group Stage match
• 23 June: Group Stage match
• 26 July: Group Stage match
• 2 July: Round of 32 match

The stadium isn’t the most glamorous in the USA, but there have still been plenty of celebrity sightings here, particularly when Lionel Messi is in town with his Inter Miami teammates. Some of the most famous people to be spotted at BMO Field include:

• Leonardo DiCaprio
• Gerard Butler
• Owen Wilson
• Selena Gomez
• Prince Harry

The following are some of the popular Toronto F.C. that fans of the club often sing in both home and away matches.

• We Love You chant
• Oh, When the Reds
• Hey TFC
• When I was A Boy
• Oh Toronto

Located throughout BMO Field are a number of food and drink outlets. Real Sports at the Game can be found at the top of section 106, and King Club at the top of section 107.

At sections 108, 123 and 207 is Panini, with Pizza Pizza available at sections 108, 109, 115, 121, 127 and 209. Fan Favourites, meanwhile, can be found at sections 108, 115, 127 and 204.
