The new 159,693 s.f. BMO Field Soccer Stadium, located on the Exhibition Place grounds near downtown Toronto, features a 'horseshoe' design for the seating bowl with the north end remaining open for a variety of functions including an event plaza. The seating distribution is approximately 10,000 on the west, 7,000 on the east and 3,000 on the south for a total of approximately 20,000 seats.The design incorporates most of the enclosed program area on the west side of the stadium at grade level. This event level includes such things as player change rooms, training and weight rooms, warm-up rooms, press conference rooms, TV production and so forth. A mezzanine above this event level contains office space and a VIP club area which has direct access to approximately 500 club seats. This project was completed in just 14 months.
