THE STARTING 11: Other Key Dates in MLS’ Offseason
A few days back, Major League Soccer released their calendar of key offseason events. Kudos really to the league for resisting the no doubt burning desire to call it the “OFF! Bug Spray Offseason Calendar” Glad to see some things stay sacred. Keeping fan interest through the post-season is always a challenge and MLS is doing their darndest to get people hyped for… er… public re-entry draft lists. Despite being...
THE STARTING 11: Prior TFC Playoff Highlights
“AT LAST!” was the slightly naval-gazing refrain from TFC brass after qualifying for their first ever playoff berth. Of course the full unedited version was “At last, we can raise ticket prices on you miserable, unwashed rubes!” But for that shoe to drop we had to wait a whole 12 hours after clinching.

However we are finally – finally!...

Toronto 6, Columbus 3. It could happen again.
Hello there T, F and C fans, how are you feeling? Happy, maybe a bit confused after that whole playoff clinching thing? Not to worry, MLSE are here to bring you back to reality. Less than 48 hours they gave us before the playoff pricing and 2016 season ticket renewal pricing was dropped. Depending on where you sit, your increase could be over 40% (what’s that, that’s where my seats are, oh good.) though some areas are...
