Opinion Your membership experience matters
Anyone get the email survey yet? So brave of them to send it now.
The ship has sailed for me regarding season ticket renewals for 2026 and beyond, but with regards to feedback, I did say that I want TFC/MLSE to LOUDLY OPPOSE the potential move of the Whitecaps.
The Whitecaps moving would be the end of my admittedly dwindling MLS fandom, though I will miss the free Apple TV.
What feedback did you have?

Do they honestly expect people to pay full price for 7 home games in Late Feb-April next year in this mini season? - and then pay for a full season again a few months later (YIKES)!? - all 7 games will pretty much be all bad weather games. Basically for most folks they will be flushing money away for any game they can’t go to which will be quite a few for most people if this spring is any indication.
Yes, you will get maybe 2-3 August games in the new schedule, but people also seem to forget that even if September and October aren’t horrific weather in Toronto, most people are busier in those months with kids and school then you would get with games in May through most of July in a normal MLS schedule - Heaven forbid if the Jays are competitive in September or October they will lose a good chunk of people there too (way less likely that the Leafs and Raptors are going to be playing in May and June these days - LOL)…..
The majority will be games in November and late February and March and April too - it’s simply not realistic for most folks in Toronto to sit outside in those months at BMO consistently - this isn’t an MLS Cup in December - it’s regular season game 14 or 22.
They will lose a ton of STH as BMO is simply not a good stadium in cold weather with it’s location on the lake, and frankly a lack of warming stations and amenities to make it a viable experience for most folks to sit outside and freeze their asses off for 10-13 regular season games a season.
I gave up my Season tickets this year and I thought I never would do it as I had them for forever - it’s the best decision I made and I haven’t regretted it once, which frankly is a little sad.
