First experiences in BMO field
So on 27 april 2010 we went to a soccer match where we are consist of 5 people, actually also to celebrate my friend's birthday.
when we got there, i was amazed by how big the stadium was and how crowded the atmosphere it was. For me that day was coldest day in spring like we had to wear coats and gloves. But it was still a nice day considering the night sky was glowing.
we started off looking around the stands around the field to see what they were selling. I was satisfied with our seats, which was pretty good, but what i do not like was the downside is that our seats was close to the away fans. they were really loud.
The first half has a couple of big injuries. they had to take out the players using the medic car. Because of both those injuries, the injury time for the first half was 9 minutes. and that was the first time i saw a 9 minutes injury time. During half-time, me and my friend went down towards the field trying to be as close a possible to the field to try to take picture. we finally got allowed to go down the vip area as long a we only took a quick picture. i was s happy that we got the picture. Still in half-time, i accompany my friend to get pizzas and the she accompanied me to buy souvenirs. i ended up buying a TFC scarf. When the game almost ended, the away fans finally got quiet and i was really glad they did. they were really annoying.toronto fc won 2-0. Before going home, we took a few more pictures.
Eventhough the stadium could not be compared to other soccer stadium, especially the big ones in europe, but still i was pleased with the work of progress behind of the stadium. When we look around the stadium, it said that the owner does not really care about the capacity, he just want in small version so the audience's voices could be heard like crazy. He also was not sure that lots of people would filling up the seats if its been expanded, since soccer was not that popular over Canada. I also appreciate the thinking of him, of making the turf look beautiful. So he wants the best architectures from europe to make the pitch and everything on it look excellent. As you can see from the small picture, it shows really how this guy really want to explore the art of this sport, in the way of the good view of the pitch and its turfs.
