A coalition of Toronto FC supporters groups plan to stage a silent protest during the upcoming Major League Soccer all-star game at BMO Field in Toronto.

I recently had the chance to watch Arsenal vs. Everton at Emirates Stadium in north London. While there, I couldn’t help but compare certain aspects of the gameday experience at Arsenal’s stadium in comparison to BMO Field.

Fans of Canada’s sole Major League Soccer franchise (a very small sample seen here at last week’s Charleston Challenge Cup) may have been hoping for more firepower in their squad ahead of the season opener, but the bottom line is the team has nowhere to go but up.
