MONTREAL – More than ever before, the Montreal Impact is inviting its supporters to wear their Impact blue in order to support their team.
GET TICKETS: Impact vs Toronto FC, March 16, 4pm (ET)
Several thousand fans are expected to make the drive down the 401 to Montreal to watch the Impact’s home opener against TFC at Olympic Stadium, on March 16 at 4pm (ET).
Setting the tone
The trip by TFC fans is expected to break the league record for the largest number of travelling fans at a road game, established by 2400 Reds’ supporters back in 2008 against the Crew in Columbus

“More than ever, we are counting on our 12th player, the team’s supporters,” said Impact executive vice-president Richard Legendre. “We’d love to have a sea of blue to drown out the wave of red. We invite all our supporters at the stadium to sing and chant with the Ultras. We want our players to feel that the city is behind them, just as they were in last year’s home opener. March 16 could set the tone for the rest of our second season in MLS.”
