Toronto hosted the Pan Am games in 2015 as well.

Ah yes the Pan Ams forgot about them.
Thank you for the additions.

Wasn't there a soccer event that BMO was built for in the first place?

That was the 2007 U-20 World Cup. I was also in Montreal, Edmonton, Ottawa, Burnaby and Victoria

There were some big(ish) names playing here before they were big names
Sergio Aguero, Angel Di Maria, Jozy Altidore, Arturo Vidal, Edinson Cavani, Luis Suarez, Alexis Sanchez, Gerard Pique, etc.
