Toronto FC News Release


After success on the road, Toronto FC return home to face the league leading Houston Dynamo on Saturday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. live on CBC.

Earlier this week it was announced that BMO Field will serve a one game alcohol suspension this Saturday. Please arrive early for the game as there will be additional security with bag checks and pat-downs at all gates and there could be a longer than usual wait time to get into the stadium.

Chad Barrett and the boys are in confident mood after going level on points with Chicago at the top of the East. Barrett was named MLS Player of the Week following his two goals in San Jose. Congrats also go to De Ro on his selection to the All-Star team, although he won't be taking part in the game.
