Capacity & History

BMO Field in Toronto opened in 2007 at a cost of C$62.9 million and is the home of both Major League Soccer (MLS) Toronto FC and Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL).

The stadium's capacity was originally 20,000 but has been expanded to 30,000. For the 2026 World Cup temporary seating will bring the capacity to over 45,000.

A major redevelopment at a cost of C$120-150 million between 2014 and 2016 added a roof, new seating, and modern facilities with Toronto Argonauts moving in in 2016.

There are tours of the stadium available for visitors but they are usually offered through Toronto FC or special event packages rather than as a daily public attraction.
