BMO (bee-mo) Field is a soccer-specific stadium located in Exhibition Place in the city of Toronto. It is the soccer-specific home of the MLS franchise Toronto FC. It is also known as the National Soccer Stadium for it's national soccer team commitments with the Canadian Soccer Association. The open-air, three-stand structure can seat up to 20,500 spectators, and is frequently linked with expansion speculation. It is owned by the City of Toronto, and managed by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd. It opened on April 28, 2007.
Due to it's commitments to the City of Toronto, the pitch must be available year round. As a result, the playing surface is FieldTurf. Toronto FC is reported to be exploring options to otherwise meet those commitments so the surface can be permanently converted to grass.

A few blocks north of the stadium on Dufferin Blvd. at King St. there are several established pubs and restaurants. Notably, the Dufferin Gate at the northwest corner and Eastside Mario's at the southeast.
Simply put, none. On the north side of the pitch there is a beer garden mostly occupied by restless or casual home supporters, and the few travelling fans that would be willing to visit the ground may be fortunate enough to find tickets available in the top rows of the northeast corner of the east stand.
Visiting fans are advised not to attempt entry to the south stand. As the most fervent and loyal supporters can be found standing in this area, Police, security, and stadium officials are present to restrict entry to ticket holders only.
Regular stadium fare is available such as pizza, hot dogs, bottled water and soda, as well as a variety of cuisine from various cultures reflecting the cosmopolitan nature of the city as well as football supporters from around the world in general.
Current beer sponsors Carlsberg provide beer on matchday as well as Smirnoff Vodka providing coolers for those of the legal age.
Varies
Varies. Tickets to Toronto FC and the Canadian national team's Senior Mens matches are limited if available at all as the matches usually sell out in advance.
