    I tried to get Club seats, but they are sold out. Of course 70% of the tickets being sold are on the Argos side of the field and of course the cameras are located on the Argos side of the field. I was talking with someone in the Argos office and they are concernered about this and if people don't have a preference, the Argos will start asking people to buy on the other side of the field. They are very confident that they will sellout most games, however if they get 23,000 to a game, most of the empty 3000, 4000 seats will be on the side that the TV viewers will see. Not great for optics, you would hope that someone at least raised this issue

    Won't both teams be on the same side of the field at BMO though?

    Yes they are. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if it is true that the vast majority of the seats sold to date are on the west side. Let's hope they are able to fill up the east stands as well -- the seats are just as good (other than the sun-in-the-eyes issue for some of them).

    plus the eastside is basically all new. the westside is 10years old and needs some updating (which i believed is planned in couple years)

    Only reasons I chose the West side - shade and no sun in the eyes.

    Me too. I love lots of sun, but not in my eyes while spectating.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    I'm starting in 127 (Family Zone) since I'll be taking my son to at least half the games. When ordering, the rep told me there were unsold seats in the front two rows that weren't available but he wasn't sure why. He speculated that it might have something to do with TV cameras. Anyone know the general location of the cameras from being at TFC games?
