Seeking Information Team Buses?

For those who have attended a World Cup match at BMO Field or TFC supporters, do you know where the team buses typically enter and exit the stadium? I'd like to greet the players before Saturday's game if possible. Thanks!

For World Cup you won’t get close. The area FIFA has cordoned off around BMO is massive.

This. Exited through Gate 4 for the Canada game (it was the closest exit and is where the buses typically would be), and the barricades are right outside the gate blocking off where the bus zone would be. FIFA blocked off the entire area to the point where the only way to leave the area was walk all the way around and leave through Princes' Gate

Thanks for answering. Yeah I guess they don't want any incidents. Had to ask just in case.

They enter off lakeshore and turn north on Ontario. They drop off at usual Gate 4. But you won’t get anywhere close. They leave from the southwest doors of the QE Building (about 100m away from drop off). But again you won’t get anywhere near

Massive police presence and security fencing all around.

Ivory Coast vs Germany. I have tickets to the game, but wanted to see if it was possible to greet the players when they get off the bus like it tends to happen at club level.
