Not a big soccer fan, but the 2 MLS games I've been to in Toronto, watching TFC has been some of the most fun I've ever had at a sporting event. Lotsa booze, crazy fans...

Not sure how the Philly MLS games will be TCD, but in Toronto, those MLS games are a hard ticket, always sold out, and a crazy time. I've read many articles about how those Toronto games are the closest thing to a Euro game experience in North America...

I say go, drink, and have fun...

the problem with MLS is that it isnt top tier football you are watching, and sometimes it is very difficult to watch.


you go to the games mostly for the atmosphere, at least in toronto, which is the best atmosphere in town. obviously cheering the home team is another reason, but dont go just for the quality, you will be sorely dissapointed.

Not really into MLS, but will try to get to at least one TFC game this year. It may not be top-tier soccer, but it seems like it's a lot of fun to go to a game.

Used to get free tickets to every RSL game here in SLC, and I never went. Bet they won't leave us freebies now that they're the champs and I would actually like to check em out.

Probably still not as exciting as our ECHL team. Especially on Tuesday or Thursday games when its $1 concessions!
