With Drogba possibly here for the full year, now it's the time for the Impact to win the MLS Cup.
-Ciman resigned until 2018
-Cabrera signed (not on loan anymore)
-Porter healthy this season (hopefully)
-Acquired Harry Shipp from Chicago for creativity at midfield
Only question mark I have is Venegas. If he can deliver, I have no doubt we will be a VERY serious contender.
The Montreal Impact was the 2nd MLS team to beat a Mexican one in a 2 legged series.
Just look at this year, 4 matchups, 4 losses for US teams. What we did last year was incredible.
I just caught some highlights... Does the artificial turf field make much difference? Did the ball seem to be more "bouncy" than on natural turf? Does anyone ever hear any commentary from the players about it

Artificial turf definitely makes a difference. Some top stars refuse to play on it since they get noticeably more injuries and inflamation (if they've had injuries in the past), not including minor injuries like skin burns and bruising. Even stars whove played for years in this league have refused all turf matches. The ball is more bouncy too which effects the way some players play.

I'm looking forward to TFC finally getting home games. Damn 8 game road trip to open the season won't be able to fully judge how good they are until then
Edmonton FC and Ottawa FC play the first leg of the Canadian Championship qualification round tonight. I'll definitely be at Lansdowne for the return leg.
Ottawa FC managed 7k+ for their home opener and a second crowd of over 4K in their second game of the season.
Canadian team averages for 2016 (As of May 11th, 2016. League play only)
Toronto FC (1 Match) 30,025 (30,025 total)
Montreal Impact (4 Matches) 22,800 (91,200 total)
Vancouver Whitecaps (6 Matches) 22,392 (134,354 total)
Ottawa FC (2 Matches) 5,670 (11,340 total)
Edmonton FC (2 Matches) 2,116 (4,231 total)

Not sure how you found all those numbers but I do appreciate your efforts. Would love to see the updated numbers near the end of the season!

Does anyone know if TFC expects to be at or near 30,000 for all of their games at BMO this season?
Last year, which was the first year with the expanded configuration, they had 3 sellouts. This year they're on track for 10 sellouts (so far). 9 of the next 10 games (except for next weekends Vancouver game for some odd reason) are expected to sellout. Some of the late season games should sell out too once we get closer to those dates.

OK, sounds like they shouldn't have much of a problem this season averaging in the upper 20Ks or close to 30K even.
