"We can't wait until April 15 to welcome the best fans in MLS back to BMO Field. The new seating, all the improvements in the stadium, combined with the grass pitch, has us really excited for the start of our 2010 season."

Fans will have the ability to mingle beneath the seating and with the concourse stretching all the way back to the Food Building; additional washroom facilities will be added. Being situated under the stands, the patio is now covered from the elements and will feature eight TV's complete with full in-house sound so fans don't miss any of the match.
