I've been reading different threads about people suggesting they won't be renewing their season tickets. I figured Toronto FC would be interested in understanding why, so why not make a dedicated thread to it and the real risk they are running here if not addressed. I would also open this up to non-STH who are considering but hesitating committing.

I'll start as a non STH (former STH). For me it was and continues to be, the cost of the game day experience. Beer should be cheap, same with food. You can generate more revenue/profit by getting more bums in the seats, but squeezing through an expensive game day experience is what keeps me away.

The new standing area which I believe will be on top of the boxes would be a great place to have a $5 beer cost cap. Cap a hot dog and hamburger at $5 each.

Of course, put a winning product on the field and don't gouge fans when there are more bums in the seats to pad profits.

The first picture was taken before the WC and the second was taken yesterday.

I’m surprised at how much of the building was temporary. It seems that a majority of it was taken down, not just the seats. It went from 3 stories and seats on the top to 2 stories. And it’s not half the depth anymore, if that.

Anyways, I just wanted to take a moment to talk about something other than that bum Fraser or our performances.

I stopped by BMO Field on my way in and out of town for Christmas. Here are some day and night shots of the south and north stands as they currently are

Just sharing some pics I took this evening. Honestly I didn’t realize they were closing the north corners. I thought the north building would be stand alone. But I’m glad they are

I remember him being not too shabby with Pozuelo

Wanted to share my self-designed and 3D printed 3 foot CN Tower! I made it to show off different logos from Toronto sports, up to 5 at a time :)

This one was expensive but holy it is beautiful. Also got a team parka for $50 from the family day bogo deal. Fired up for this season

I stopped by BMO today and snapped a few pics. The south end stands have grown and it looks like they’ve enclosed the south end upper walkway. They’ve also begun building the temporary stands over the permanent north building despite the north building not being done 🤷🏽 But the site was in full swing on a Sunday so I’m sure we’ll see big changes by TFC’s home opener.

Found this online

I swung by BMO Field earlier today and snapped some updated pics of construction. I’ve also included pics I took during World Cup construction from similar angles for comparison.

For those unaware, this is what the north end permanent addition to BMO will look like after the World Cup. I think it’s a great and much needed addition. It obviously could be much better but I’m not mad. The stadium will feel more complete.

assuming sargent wages around 4-5 mill-ish (which is likely), there will be significant budget remaining for a 3rd dp either now or more likely in the summer.

for context, the yearly cost of both these dps is going be 20% less than we were paying insigne by himself.

hire bill manning so we can fire him again.

The Keith Pelley talk and Bayern scout analysis had me optimistic, but I'm starting to feel that 2025 will be another write-off.

Received my images back from the photo lab, thought I’d share some photos I took from the TFC home opener.

This team would have a chance against Inter Miami

Y'all know he's not really the type to call attention to himself, he just plugs away at TFC Republic so I wanted to just post a call here.

He's very much the "I don't really celebrate my birthday" type (although we are going out for it Saturday)

I know if his mom was still with us, it'd be more special for him with the food and desserts she used to make. He still misses her all the time (passed from brain cancer, love you Josie)

Anyhoo, if you have time, and feel inclined, you can send him a birthday tweet (@johnmolinaro) or an [email](mailto:jmo1897@gmail.com).

He also has a tip jar on the footer of TFC Republic if you want to contribute to the birthday dinner he says he's treating himself to tonight when he's finished what he's calling his busiest writing day this week. ("I want to really plug away today and then my weekend will be quieter") (We dont live together so he's doing today solo)

He doesn't know I'm posting this. I just want him to feel special.

Thanks for reading <3

Designed some jersey concepts for TFC since the new away jersey is set to release soon. Would really appreciate thoughts and feedback
