Toronto FC's home stadium has undergone a significant upgrade. The £74.8 million renovation project includes an additional 17,000 temporary seats.
What happened?
The upgrades were completed to meet the FIFA minimum capacity of 45,000. The temporary seating was first used on May 9, when Toronto FC opened the stands to fans for a match against Inter Miami. The match drew a venue-record crowd of more than 44,000.
Why it matters for Toronto FC
The renovation is a significant boost to Toronto FC's home advantage. The new setup has received positive reviews from fans, with one fan, JohnPaul Agius, praising the sturdy and safe temporary seats. The view from the temporary seats was also fantastic, according to Agius.
What comes next?
Toronto Stadium will host six World Cup matches, including Canada's opener against Bosnia and Herzegovina. The stadium has undergone temporary expansions before, including in 2016 when it added 6,000 seats to host the Grey Cup and the MLS Cup.
