The new stadium left quite the impression on fans, and they responded by making the club's 2016 home opener a day to remember for the franchise.
The 2016 lid-lifter at the "new" BMO Field had the same feel as it did nine years ago with one major difference. This team is good, really good.
The 2007 edition of Toronto FC was very much a fledgeling expansion team with a youthful, energetic and naïve fan base that made BMO Field the place to be.The stadium itself was considered a gem in a league that played most of its games in cavernous, empty NFL stadiums and taking throw-ins off of pitcher's mounds in minor league baseball parks.
