BMO Field will have a different look and sound Wednesday as a result of Toronto FC sanctions against its supporters’ groups in the wake of last week’s fiery display in Ottawa during the Canadian Championship semifinal.

The MLS club has suspended all supporter privileges after flares and smoke bombs led to small fires in the stands and the pitch at TD Place Stadium last Wednesday during the first leg of the series against Ottawa Fury FC. No one was injured.
