Unfortunately TD Place doesn't have anywhere to add temporary stands. Even BMO Field in Toronto plans on adding 15000 capacity to make it to FIFA specs for 2026, which is why it's in play (haha) for use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No end zone areas. It is a Canadian football stadium and not a soccer stadium, say what you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The negative comments on this forum, especially in respect to the Fury era, come from those who've either never been to TD Place or don't even live in Ottawa.

MtlMario Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I've been to TD Place 5 or 6 times either for soccer or CFL games and find it to be a nice stadium. Restaurants all around ( although mostly full on game days if you're not there early enough), in stadium concessions are good. Overall I give it a good grade. 11 minutes ago, BuzzAndSting said: As a multi-team season ticket holder at TD Place the opinion in Ottawa is generally positive.

I'm sure that it's a lovely place to watch sports on a nice, summer evening. However, what's the deal with building stadiums with, at most, only one end zone closed off? TD Place, THF, most of the new MLS stadiums.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At TD Place it was to protect the view of the lawn, the Canal and the Aberdeen Pavilion. It also allowed them the flexibility to add temporary seating for big events but not have them permanently empty for RedBlacks games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire area around the stadium is really cool I wasnt saying I dont like TDPlace. I'm saying the concept of leaving that empty end zone yet practical, I'm not such a fan. I think a fully enclosed 360 creates a better environment But TD Place and Ottawa gets a thumbs up from me. Visited for the 1st time last year. Really enjoyed Edited May 27, 2020 by SpursFlu BuzzAndSting and Cheeta 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you mean in Canada (and only BMO Field, really), because most MLS stadiums (new or not) are fully enclosed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Major_League_Soccer_stadiums CFL field dimensions really screw things up in terms of fully enclosing venues that are also to be used for other sports.

BuzzAndSting Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 AO deferring deposits, season seat and free jerseys until 2021 and offering 10% off jerseys this season instead. Makes sense if they think there won’t be any home games this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that list, 4 out of the current 26 venues could be considered U-shaped. The open end zone thing is really a Canadian phenomenon, because of the absurd CFL field dimensions.

The only U shaped MLS stadium is San Jose’s new stadium but it’s a fully enclosed U shape left open on one side to hopefully fill in the other end if need be , oh ya the other one being that joke of a Stadium BMO Field where I’m forced to spend time in as a TFC season ticket holder if I want to watch TFC play in person . Look I’m very biased there is nothing like watching a game in a fully enclosed stadium in terms of atmosphere. I’m sure the surroundings are nice around Ottawa’s stadium and the concessions areas are great but like BMO Field and Tim Hortons field it’s basically the old CFL 1970’s two big grandstands facing each other stadiums . Hopefully one day maybe the CPL gets big enough and every team has a nice 10000 seat stadium that are more or less fully enclosed I guess in the mean time it is what it is .
