OVERHEARD AT BMO FIELD: #OHatBMO

OHABMO

Those of us that have decamped in the stands of BMO Field since 2007 know that the home side hasn’t always done enough to keep everyone’s undivided attention at all times. It’s those quiet lulls in the crowd noise where a snippet of conversation wafts into your ears on the Lake Ontario breeze. It wasn’t really meant for you but nonetheless an amusing, alarming or downright strange sentence becomes a peculiar part of your match day. This new regular feature – #OHatBMO for your hashtaggery purposes – aims to collect and share some of those verbal nuggets so you can have that “slightly distracted at TFC feeling” from the comfort of your own home!

We hope you check back regularly and enjoy these 100% genuine slices of life from in-and-around Toronto FC…

“Giovinco. Leaving. Gone. You can see it.”

 

“Why is Cornucopia in net?”

Look for Konopka to peak around Thanksgiving

“No. Steven with an “S”… “

 

“The King car smells of two things: breath and ass.”

Only two things?  So many undocumented bodily functions.

“I only Twitter know her not like, real-life know her.”

 

“Just Jackson. Not Something-Jackson.”

“I’m leaving early to go home and have a delicious omelette.”

 

“The Neverlands. Like in Holland.”

Yes, my trips to Amsterdam turn out this way too.

Sound familiar? Of course they do! We know you’ve heard equally bizarre banter in the stands, on the concourses, on transit to-and-from the match or anywhere people are dressed in TFC red… and we want to hear yours! Add yours in the comments section below or send us your #OHatBMO on Twitter to @vocalminorityCA and they could be featured in a future episode!
