Rising to the Occasion: Toronto FC Down FC Dallas in Home Opener

The club delivered a strong performance during a special night at BMO Field.

It was clear from the warmups that there was going to be a special atmosphere at BMO Field tonight. But it was during the national anthem that the importance of the occasion really became clear. 30,025 Toronto FC supporters stood in full voice and belted out the Canadian national anthem, which rang throughout the stadium.

It was a song that fans had been waiting patiently for two months to sing, as BMO Field underwent renovations. Toronto FC players and staff noticed, and it set the tone for a 1-0 victory over FC Dallas in their home opener.
