// CARLSBERG PATIO
Why sit in a gloomy bar or restaurant when you can be right next to the action at a European patio-like setting? Join in on the cheering and celebrating with fellow beer-loving TFC fans at BMO Field's Carlsberg Patio. The perfect combination for TFC fans over 19 to celebrate - Sun! Beer! And Soccer! The section is directly behind the net on the North end of the field. Heads up for a fast moving ball ... and remember, all balls MUST be returned to the field.

   

// MERCHANDISE

These stands provide the opportunity for TFC fans to purchase jerseys, hats, bags, t-shirts, sweaters, and many more Toronto FC products. Show your pride and soccer spirit with authentic TFC gear.

// ARI XENARIOS
With the new season comes another new addition to the TFC roster. Ari Xenarios, the new voice of Toronto FC, is living a dream, having gone from fan to teammate in the off-season. With 6 years of experience in the broadcasting industry, this born and raised Torontonian is best known for his work with the Humber College Hawks and the University of Toronto Varsity Blues. Over the years Ari has announced everything from CCAA National Championships to Ultimate Thumb Fighting Championships to the Raptors Invitational Tournaments at the Air Canada Centre.

"The mixture of 20,000 fans singing, chanting and pouring streamers down on opposing players makes BMO field a thrilling environment. I intend to feed off that energy while cheering on our TFC."

In his non-announcing career, Ari has recently taken on the role as Account Supervisor in charge of Brand Experience for The Jetstar Group. Ari is proud to call Toronto home and enjoys traveling and spending time with his family and friends.

// INTRODUCING BITCHY THE HARRIS HAWK & BMO FIELD PROTECTOR!

The term "eyes like a hawk" has taken on a whole new meaning at BMO Field as the home of Toronto FC has a new guardian overlooking the pitch. Perched high above sits TFC's newest member - Bitchy (as named by you the fans) the hawk. Enlisted to stand guard on match days, Bitchy is trained to protect the BMO Field faithful from…of all things ... seagulls!

The proximity to Lake Ontario and of course all the fine food around BMO Field makes the stadium a haven for gulls. The pesky birds have caused quite the nuisance for players, fans and of course the clean up staff. But that all ends going forward.

Enter Parabuteo unicinctus, or as she is more commonly known as - Bitchy the Harris Hawk. This four year old bird of prey has a 1.2 metre wingspan and strikes fear in the eyes of seagulls (as well as rabbits, rodents, lizards and possibly visiting teams). Our newest supporter will be at all TFC home games to watch over our house. more about Bitchy »
