“Without doubt there’s more buzz and anticipation with this team than any other in our history. We have not yet really seen an organization quite like Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment. They are very focused, they’re very committed. They make good decisions. They put tremendous resources against this project. And that’s led to just great promotion and great excitement. I don’t expect we’re going to sell out every game and I don’t expect Toronto FC to be as popular as the Maple Leafs or as the Raptors but in a short period of time we’ve established a nice position for ourselves that we want to continue to build on.”
— MLS Commissioner Don Garber on expansion Toronto FC, with which he said there’s been more buzz and anticipation than any other team in the league’s 12-year history.
