Mods: I felt it was important MLS fans, especially those from Canada who will travel to the U.S., and U.S. fans going to Toronto know about this, but I didn't know where to put this post; this felt like the most appropriate forum.
U.S. to Require Passports for Nearly All
" Nearly all air travelers entering the U.S. will be required to show passports beginning Jan. 23, including returning Americans and people from Canada and other nations in the Western Hemisphere.
Currently, U.S. citizens returning from other countries in the hemisphere are not required to present passports but must show other proof of citizenship such as driver's licenses or birth certificates.
Visitors from most countries in the hemisphere are required to show passports. However, people from Canada, Bermuda _ and those from Mexico who enter the U.S. frequently and have special border-crossing cards _ have been allowed to use other forms of identification, including driver's licenses. "

I suggest getting your passports now while you can.

You don't need a visa to visit Canada if you are a U.S. citizen, just a passport.
If you aren't, check this list, http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.html

Not that I even planned on going to Canada for a game. But that is still pretty dumb that you need a passport. Prior to this, all you needed was a birth certificate. (At least when I went to Canada anyway)

If you are flying to Canada you need a passport. But, if you are entering by road or sea all you need is some sort of ID (driver's license, birth certificate)

Last week they made it mandatory that anyone flying between Canada and the US needs a passport. I think you'll need a passport to drive across starting in 2009, but I'm not certain.
I sent in my passport renewal yesterday so I'll be ready for the first time the Revs visit Toronto.
