Code of Conduct

BMO Field strongly supports the Toronto Police and Event Security in their actions to remove any individuals deemed to be conducting a criminal act on our property. This includes, but is not limited to the use of flares, smoke bombs, sparklers or fireworks of any kind. Also, the throwing of any missile or projectile like objects and the use or possession of any illegal drugs substances.

BMO Field is committed to creating a safe, comfortable and enjoyable experience for all fans attending events in our facility. We ask that fans be respectful of those around them and that they conduct themselves appropriately at all times. Inappropriate behaviour includes, but is not limited to:

  • Smoking inside the stadium
  • Standing on chairs/seats
  • Sitting or standing in the aisles
  • Entering a seating area without the correct ticket
  • Entering or attempting to enter restricted areas without proper authorization or credentials
  • Drunk and/or disorderly conduct
  • Fighting or challenging others to fight
  • Wearing clothing deemed to be offensive, obscene or indecent
  • Throwing, tossing, or discharging any object within the facility
  • Using profanity and/or other offensive, obscene, or abusive gestures or language toward or in reference to other fans, players, coaches, referees, performers, or staff members
  • Interference with the event in any way
  • Disturbing the enjoyment of other fans in attendance
  • Bringing prohibited items into the stadium
  • Violating BMO Field rules, regulations, or policies
  • Violating any local, provincial or federal laws

Unlike many other sports, soccer matches do not have regular stoppages in play. As a courtesy to those seated around you, we ask that if you are entering/exiting your seats while play is under way, that you do so as quickly as possible. Any behaviour that violates the BMO Field Code of Conduct, as determined by stadium management, may result in ejection as well as possible arrest and prosecution. Whether or not a warning is issued prior to ejection is at the discretion of stadium security, police or management. Fans who are ejected will have their tickets revoked and will not be compensated in anyway. Ejection may also result in the loss of season tickets or other privileges. Season ticket and suite holders are reminded that they are responsible for the behaviour of anyone that uses their tickets. Fans having any difficulties during an event are advised to contact BMO Field Fan Services staff so that the issue may be addressed. Should you have any questions or concerns about the BMO Field Code of Conduct, please contact Fan Services at 416-263-5708.
