He doesn't know soccer too well and likes the Argos at BMO. Will you guys eat him alive if with sit in the supporters' section? In what sense? I bring my dad to games, he may actually be coming to this one. We usually stand near the back of the section and he cheers and chimes in on the songs he knows.

At a tfc game my dad loudly said "it'll be great when the argos get to play here" causing the guy next to him to actually ask him "you're not serious right". I'm partly joking as a joke but he quite possibly will saying something really dumb and offend every fan near him lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry too much, everyone I've met at games is always pretty laid back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom of section 132 is standing only with no seats and is always the rowdier part. If someone wants to sit down and watch the game but still enjoy the atmosphere of the supporters section either the upper half of 132 or neighbouring 131 would be a better place for them. If it is like Impact games it will be general admission there so you don't really have to decide beforehand where to go in the section and can find the place that best suits your father.

I have no idea. It is hard to get that excited to play a team from a country that has only existed for 7 years, is really geographically part of South America and that most people have not heard of not only in soccer terms but in any capacity. If I had to guess I suspect the turnout might be between 5000 and 8000 with the supporters section being half full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is really not a lot to get excited about with this game for anyone who is not a hardcore national team fan. Yes for us it is interesting to see the new coach but for the average fan he is a no-name hire, we are recently eliminated from the World Cup and we are playing a no name team.

RickC Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 It will have to be marketed as come see the full CMNT tune up for the Gold Cup. Put a spin on seeing how the new Manager.does things with (hopefully) more attacking tactics. I'll be there with my wife and two young boys for our 4th Canada match. In town for the F1 race the weekend before. How great would it be to substitute our players for the grid girls at the race. You know, Cyle Larin on the grid holding the P1 marker for Lewis Hamilton, etc. Not wearing a short skirt though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong pet peeve of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
