It was not just another night at MAPFRE Stadium. After the controversial attendance announcement of 14,416 fans in the first leg of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, Columbus Crew SC fans wanted to leave no doubt the house would be packed when the Black & Gold hosted Toronto FC in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Tickets sold out a few days before the game and the cold but bearable weather provided the perfect environment for a huge display of support from the Black & Gold fans, who packed the stadium to an announced sellout attendance of 21,189.
