Transportation isn’t a big deal cause I don’t drink but how is the parking? That got better after some early issues right?

Parking is no big deal, especially if you bring 10 bucks cash. In and out no problems.
The closer you are to the south end, the 200s, the rowdier the crowd. Just buy a ticket with that in mind which ever you prefer. I can't speak to which seats sight lines are the best because I have only stood in 201 or 202.

Based on the one other time I was there, anywhere in the bleachers is fine. Great sight lines. I’d probably just go with the cheaper ticket.
Parking was a breeze when I drove.

I believe in the Jays.

Parking was a disaster on day 1, and completely fixed by day 2. The only issue is it can be a bit slow on the way out because of the lights and construction, but it's not too bad really.
Sit close to 200! It's fun as hell down there.

I agree, sit as close to 200 as you can. We're gonna be loud and crazy and it'll be the best spot in the stadium!

What am I missing here - am I parking in the wrong spot? The games I've gone to, I've parked in the big open grass field, close to 22x, and it has usually taken 30-45 minutes to get out.

Is the whole 200s the supporters sections? There’s some seats in 202 available.

Well I bought the tickets in 202. Hopefully it’s rocking. I’ve promised my cousin it’ll be crazy. Neither of us have ever seen a soccer game in person before.
Then we have to go to a family supper. That should be interesting.

202 isn't the supporters section, but we try to make some noise!
ETA: 4 beer minimum per half in 202!

It'll be rocking, everyone will be standing from 200 - 203 anyways. It's likely that if you want even more action, just go stand in 200 anyways, no one gives a ####. That's where all the chanting and flag waving happens from the Foot Soldiers.
That whole south section is going to be great from one end to the other!

Every time I have brought someone new they are taken aback by how passionate the fans are. I swear, the Foot Soilder's drummers take no breaks.

For $10, you can park in these two main lots.
South lot is Cash Only.
North lot is Interac/Debit/Credit only.
They're pretty efficient, and easy to get out of.

The Virtual Venue view is pretty accurate. If you're sitting in the main stand, it can help ensure you may not have a pillar blocking the view of a net.

That’s where I parked and I was in and out in 5 minutes.

IMO, take the shuttle from Somerset LRT. While it is dramatically easier to get in and out than it was to start, Spruce Meadows is still mostly just two two-lane roads in and out. It takes time to get out of there. Shuttle is free, and doesn't take long.

It looks like there is still over 1000 seats available in the main stand. I hope a bunch of those still fill up..

The pre-game ceremony is slated for 1:30 p.m. What that entails, I don't know at this point.
