BMO Field
Toronto, ON · Stadium
BMO Field on Toronto's Exhibition Place grounds runs a clear bag policy. Your main bag has to be all clear, made of plastic, vinyl, or PVC and no bigger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, with no hardware concealing the contents. A one-gallon clear freezer bag works too, plus a small clutch up to 6.5 by 4.5 inches that does not have to be clear.
Backpacks and non-clear bags are turned away. If you need a non-compliant bag, a limited bag check sits outside at Gate 3 for $10, or you can contact MLSE for medical exceptions. Home to Toronto FC and the Argonauts, BMO Field is also a host stadium for the 2026 World Cup, so expect tight security.
