Key facts<\/h3>\n

Club: Toronto FC | Opening: 2007 | Capacity: 30,000 seats<\/p>\n

History and description<\/h3>\n

BMO Field was built to provide Major League Soccer expansion team Toronto FC with a soccer-specific home and to serve as the flagship venue of the 2007 U-20 FIFA World Cup. It was Canada’s first soccer-specific stadium.<\/p>\n

BMO Field officially opened on 28\u00a0<\/span>April 2007 with a league match between Toronto FC and the Kansas City Wizards (0-1).<\/p>\n

From 2014 to 2016, the stadium underwent a large redevelopment, including the construction of an extra tier over the East Stand, additional hospitality facilities, and the erection of a roof over the entire stadium. This raised capacity with 8,400 seats to a total of 30,000 seats. The expansion came at a cost of CAD 120 million.<\/p>\n\n\n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t
