Liberty Village is loved by plenty of Toronto FC fans, especially the multiple passionate supporters groups that are based there.
In a heavily-criticized article by Lauren O’Neil for blogto.com, one in which Toronto FC fans are accused of being “a lot of drunk, yelling, scarf-wearing soccer people clogging up Liberty Village,” O’Neil argues that thousands of Toronto FC fans crowd the area before and after matches, much to the annoyance of the residents. Sure, there is certainly an increase in traffic from the crowd of fans, but this is to be expected when you live within 2 kilometers of a stadium that can hold 30,000 people.
