rideshare

Rideshare drop-off is near the main entrance at Exhibition Place. Post-match, the TTC streetcar is often the fastest exit — surge pricing from Exhibition Place after big Toronto FC matches can be significant.

At the Game

BMO Field sits on the Lake Ontario waterfront in Toronto's Exhibition Place grounds and has been home to Toronto FC since 2007. The stadium holds just over 28,000 fans in a purpose-built soccer venue that was expanded and improved several times since opening, with a roof added to cover the supporters' section and upper tiers. The lakefront setting, with views of Lake Ontario from the upper levels, gives it a distinctive Toronto character.

Exhibition Place is accessible via the 509 and 511 streetcar routes from downtown, connecting to Union Station and the broader TTC network. The grounds also host the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) in late summer, so the area is well-known to Torontonians. Toronto FC's supporter groups — Red Patch Boys, U-Sector, and others — create a consistent atmosphere in the north end that's made the club's home matches one of the better MLS experiences in the league.

SEATING

Best Seats

Lower bowl midfield sections on either side of the halfway line.

BMO Field is a soccer-specific venue with a partial roof that has been expanded over the years. The lower bowl midfield sections are close to the touchline with clean views of the full pitch. Toronto FC has a strong and passionate supporter culture, particularly the Red Patch Boys and U-Sector, and the atmosphere in the lower bowl is consistently one of the better ones in MLS.

Good Value

Upper midfield sections, which offer a clean elevated view of the full pitch.

BMO Field’s upper bowl midfield sections give you a solid overhead view of the entire pitch at a lower price. The stadium’s compact design keeps the upper sections feeling relatively close to the action. The partial roof coverage means some upper sections are protected from rain. A good value choice for most games.

Avoid These

End goal sections — the U-Sector supporter section at the south end is a standing, loud, and passionate environment, not for traditional game-watching.

The U-Sector is one of MLS’s more organized and passionate supporter sections — standing, loud, and focused on atmosphere rather than the game view. End goal sections offer steep angles to the far goal. Corner sections are similarly restricted. Midfield in the lower or upper bowl is the consistent choice for watching the game at BMO Field.

Sun

BMO Field’s partial roof provides coverage over parts of the stadium — uncovered sections on the east side get more direct afternoon sun.

BMO Field has a partial roof that covers significant portions of the seating areas, providing meaningful sun and rain protection. Uncovered sections, primarily on the east side, get more direct afternoon sun. Toronto summers are warm and pleasant, and the partial coverage makes afternoon games more comfortable than at a fully open stadium. The covered west main stand is the most weather-protected option.

Weather

Toronto weather means cold spring and fall games — BMO Field’s partial roof provides meaningful protection from both rain and cold wind in shoulder-season games.

BMO Field’s partial roof is a genuine asset in Toronto’s climate. Spring games in March and April can be cold, and the covered sections provide meaningful protection from wind and rain. Summer games are warm and comfortable, especially under the partial roof coverage. Fall games can be cold from October onwards. Bring layers for any early or late-season game, particularly in uncovered sections.

Special Features

BMO Field's Supporter Culture

Toronto FC's south end supporter section — home to U-Sector and the Red Patch Boys — is one of MLS's most established. TFC have won MLS Cup and have a deep supporter culture built over nearly 20 years. The south end generates sustained noise that makes BMO Field one of the better atmospheres in MLS on a full night.
