The City of Toronto was awarded the MLS Cup this week a great reward to a city that has shown great fan support to its Major League Soccer club, the Toronto FC. The MLS Cup will be played at BMO Field on November 21st at 8:30pm. Toronto defeated strong bids by New York, Los Angeles and Philadelphia to host the event and fans can thank the newly installed natural grass field for swaying the vote our way. The host team has only been to the final twice in 15 years that being in 1997 by DC United who won the Championship and in 2002 by the New England Revolution who lost to the L.A. Galaxy in that final. The though of TFC making it all the way to the MLS cup would be wishful thinking by the city, club and fans. The goal for this season is for the club to make the playoffs for the first time and then when there the sky is the limit. Tom Anselmi the MLSEL executive vice-president and CEO is hoping that hosting the MLS Cup will be a big motivator for the club to reach the post season. MLSEL is planning to turn the event into a three day event centred around Maple Leaf Square the new $500 million development by the Air Canada Centre.
