Anyone who has been following MLS supporter news this year has surely heard that Toronto FC fans were upset at being forced to buy tickets for tonight's game as part of their season-ticket package.
MLS Cup, FC Dallas Vs. Colorado Rapids: Yes, Toronto Fans Walked Out
They staged some protests during the season, but nothing quite like tonight where TFC fans walked out en masse around halftime.
The result is a second-half with lots of empty seats and an atmosphere that’s decidedly tempered, despite the reporting of this as a sellout.
MLS Commissioner Don Garber has already openly discussed the possibility of doing away with the neutral site championship game and this is just another example of how MLS has grown out of this kind of setup.
Even considering the relative lack of support Colorado and FC Dallas have enjoyed at home, it's hard to imagine the atmospheres at either location being any worse than it is here. Whatever would be lost in tickets sold would surely be gained in improved visibility.
