Not that anyone would ever dream of leaving a World Cup match early anyway.
But through three matches, Toronto Stadium has delivered edge-of-your-seat action until the final whistle, and the city has had front row seats to the tournament's unmatched magic and drama.
It began in Canada's tournament opener, where Cyle Larin's 78th-minute equalizer earned a vital point for the host nation against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In one fluid turn and strike, an hour of anxiety following Bosnia's opener was erased -- launching a sea of red into raucous celebrations.
A few days later, with the rain pouring down on tens of thousands clad in red and yellow, the stadium hosted Ghana and Panama. That match sat in the balance at 0-0 deep into stoppage time when Ghana finally found their moment.
In the fourth added minute of the second half, Brandon Thomas-Asante beat his man down the wing and burst into the box. His low cross picked out 20-year-old midfielder Calib Yirenkyi at the back post, who stabbed home the winner and sent the yellow-wearing half of the stadium into pandemonium.
Saturday provided the most drama the stadium has seen yet, courtesy of the World Cup heavyweight Germany.
The first hour of their clash with the Côte D'Ivoire was full of frustration. The Germans put the ball in the back of the net twice in the first half-hour, but were twice denied the opening goal through fouls awarded in the build-up. The pro-German crowd whistled their frustration, their displeasure growing louder and louder at each debatable call that went against them.
Côte D'Ivoire keeper Yavia Fofana became public enemy number one after spending a lot of the match lying on the pitch, breaking up multiple threatening German attacks. His multiple miraculous saves probably didn't help either.
When the opening goal did come in the 30th minute, it was scored by Côte D'Ivoire's Franck Kessié. For large stretches at the start of the second half, Germany then felt like they were on the ropes as the technically brilliant Côte D'Ivoire created multiple dangerous chances in transition.
But maybe Germany's Denis Undav had been watching Larin against Bosnia. Like Canada's #9, Undav scored mere minutes after his introduction off the bench, and the Germans could exhale.
The wall of flag-waving German supporters clad in white behind the stadium's North End continued to urge their team on, all the way to another stoppage-time spectacle.
In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Undav snuck behind the Côte D'Ivoire backline, received a pass with his right foot, and hit a thunderous left-footed strike past Fofana for the match winner.
The German bench spilled onto the pitch, racing to celebrate in front of the now deafening wall of supporters. Minutes later, they were back on the pitch, rejoicing at the sound of the final whistle.
With the win, Germany advanced to the knockout stage for the first time since winning the tournament in 2014. After two straight tournaments of early exits, they are looking like a contender once again.
Germany's journey takes them to East Rutherford next, and then likely three-and-a-half hours north to Foxborough, should they top the group.
But their stop in Toronto delivered a special moment in a stadium and city which has already had plenty to celebrate throughout this tournament.
