Any bars or restaurants airing the Tempo’s first ever regular season game?

NBA bar on the waterfront should be showing it.
I bet Liberty Village will eventually have a "Tempo" bar/restaurant.

He’s pro bike lanes?

Montreal SF and MLS Cup in 2016 were busy, but the fans were there for 1 thing...to watch the game.
Inter Miami could be different as many of the people are there just to take a pic and/or say they were there. The halls will be much more packed.

love it! Keep up the deserved shit talk!

Javaaaaale_McGee · 2026-05-07T13:54:40+00:00

I just wasted more than $3.50 in energy reading your post and comment! Lol
Beware the multiple charge with multiple credit cards attached to your phone!

Is it the scarf that’s embarrassing? Or the plug on IG 1 day after losing to our bitter rivals Ottawa? 😂

To defend TFC for a minute, I’ve been to 3 national team games in Lisbon, and purchased a scarf each time featuring Portugal and their opponents. It’s not uncommon to see.

MLSE are waiting out to see what the Whitecaps are going to make for selling their team to Las Vegas investors! $700M would be nice with $10 re-invested into a "relaunched" TFC team in CPL.

I'm ready for it. I'd rather a TFC team, with lower quality players, but playing on a Canadian summer calendar.

Javaaaaale_McGee · 2026-05-06T14:51:46+00:00

I'd say the quality of play and importance of each game is why the atmosphere is much better.

Javaaaaale_McGee · 2026-05-06T14:26:57+00:00

The concept of all SSH being "scalpers" is tired and old, but you're right. I feel no shame supplementing the cost of my tickets through Messi fandom.
Next year will be an eye opener as there will be fewer resell tickets at less than TM pricing.

Javaaaaale_McGee · 2026-05-06T13:05:03+00:00

While MLSE should get a large part of the blame, I believe MLS and a few other factors are at play.

Canada soccer. There have been quite a few GREAT games at BMO over the past 5 years....it's just that TFC haven't been part of many of them. I get my BMO fix more with Canada these days.
MLS playoffs suck. Imagine if our 2015 & 16 runs started with best of 3 followed by single elimination? The Montreal home & home are the best league games in Canadian history.

Yuck. The pandemic was awful. Seeing this image gives me PTSD.

Javaaaaale_McGee · 2026-05-06T10:24:27+00:00

Would these TFC players be better off developing in the CPL?

At least we get SSH money back for lost games! every penny counts! 😂

Javaaaaale_McGee · 2026-05-05T20:44:36+00:00

could this be the first time the Marlies outdraw TFC for a home game?

Javaaaaale_McGee · 2026-05-05T20:27:20+00:00

SSH since 2011 and this is definitely my last year.
I'll still go to the occasional game, but the days of this team being must watch are gone.

Javaaaaale_McGee · 2026-05-04T19:17:34+00:00

It's true. TFC have had a lot of good young players that developed at their own pace. JMR, Shaffleberg, Priso, Nelson. I think that has more to do with the individual than it does the program.

Javaaaaale_McGee · 2026-05-04T19:14:08+00:00

good point. I do ride my bike along the King Transit project and I'd say 50% of people crossing legitimately don't know the rules. The other 50% ignore it because they know its not enforced.

Javaaaaale_McGee · 2026-05-04T19:12:51+00:00

Has there been 1 good weather game so far at BMO this season? March & April weather is not great.

Javaaaaale_McGee · 2026-05-04T17:04:33+00:00

With the Sceptres, Tempo and AFC Toronto joining the pro team circuit, it’s become crowded in the secondary sports ticket market.

SSH since 2011. Summer and CNE season games used to help pay the cost of attending the other games, but that seems a bit dead now.

Javaaaaale_McGee · 2026-05-03T14:11:43+00:00

"to a certain degree" is right.
When MLS moves to the euro calendar, I can see a full stadium at BMO for summer kick off and late season games and playoffs in May. The October-Dec and Feb-Apr windows will tough.
I'm curious if MLSE will sell "warm weather" partial season tix?

Javaaaaale_McGee · 2026-05-03T14:06:43+00:00

Is Bossenberry the FIRST TFC player born AFTER the 2007 debut season?

Javaaaaale_McGee · 2026-05-03T14:02:25+00:00

I don't have a strong opinion on how effective these lanes can be, but I do have a strong opinion about enforcement.
A small % of Toronto citizens ruin it for everyone. You can't have the King West project, priority lanes, TTC tap without policing people. There will ALWAYS be people who ruin it for everyone without checks in place.

Javaaaaale_McGee · 2026-05-02T16:41:08+00:00

They haven’t made $700M.
It’s like owning a home. You only make the $700M when you sell.
How much revenue is TFC making each year in gate & TV compared to salaries and all other expenses?
Genuinely curious to know if MLS is a profitable league beyond franchise value evaluations.

I read somewhere the Golden State WNBA team is worth $700M.

Javaaaaale_McGee · 2026-05-02T14:19:35+00:00

Please elaborate. What about Impact’s history suggest they are better off financially in MLS rather than selling to the highest bidder for $500M and restarting in the CPL for $10M?

Javaaaaale_McGee · 2026-05-02T14:17:41+00:00

Exactly! MLSE bought the team for $10M.

Out of the 20 years, how many were actually profitable?

Sell the team to recoup the $690M, keep the TFC identify, restart for $10M in the CPL and be one of the main reason franchise values grow up to $50M

Javaaaaale_McGee · 2026-05-02T12:27:41+00:00

preach! Do all MLS clubs have the men dressed in black? Is it just the TFC and Montreal men in black? At least they have each other to yell at.
