2015 Pan American Games
During the 2015 Pan American Games, BMO Field is scheduled to host rugby sevens competition. Due to sponsorship rules with the Pan American Sports Organization, the facility will be known as the "National Soccer Stadium" (this despite the fact that no soccer is, at least under current plans as of 2012, slated to be played at the stadium; soccer is instead slated for the New Hamilton Stadium).

Famous quotes containing the words pan, american and/or games:
“I don’t pan out on the prophets
An’ free-will, an’ that sort of thing—
But I b’lieve in God an’ the angels,
Ever sence one night last spring.”
—John Milton Hay (1838–1905)
“It seems that American patriotism measures itself against an outcast group. The right Americans are the right Americans because they’re not like the wrong Americans, who are not really Americans.”
—Eric J. Hobsbawm (b. 1917)
“In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared. From then on the child played the same games as the adult, either with other children or with adults. . . . Conversely, adults used to play games which today only children play.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
