On
Sunday, October 28th, I was at BMO Field for Toronto FC’s final game
of the 2018 season. After a difficult season, one in which Toronto FC struggled from start to
finish, the Reds were hoping to end the
season on a high note, which is exactly what they did.
The Game
Sunday’s game was Fan Appreciation
Day at BMO Field, and they had plenty of activities and giveaways for fans to
enjoy. Upon entrance to the stadium, the first 10, 000 fans received a free toque, and after the game, fans received a free Snickers
chocolate bar on the way out. I got to the stadium slightly later than
expected, so I just missed out on the free hats, but luckily someone I know that
works at the stadium hooked me up with one after the match. The game itself was
an incredible experience, as Toronto won the match 4-1. Sebastian Giovinco’s
goal to make the score 4-1 was an incredible goal and can be found by clicking

Meeting the
Players
After the match had ended, my friend
Matthew and I decided to try and get photos with some players as they were
exiting the stadium. Many players were kind enough to spend time with all the
fans who had lined up to try and see them, and we were lucky enough to meet
many players, including the captain Michael Bradley (pictured, left) and 2010
World Cup finalist Gregory van der Wiel (pictured, right). More of my photos
from the evening can be found in my Instagram post.
Great read! Love the photos. Looks like it was a good time!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great experience. Well-written stuff, too. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteAw, this is really nice, it sounds like you had a great time. I've only ever been to a basketball game, but after reading this and the great time you had at this game, I should try other sports games. It was nice seeing pictures you and a couple team players.
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous. I have been to four TFC games and never got a photo. You must be very proud.
