Westy Sucks Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Who cares what Soccer fans think? Especially Soccer fans from Toronto!... Not this guy! Soccer is so gay!! And good for the Argos to get anther owner. This one guy owning 2 teams in the CFL was BS to begin with!!! That was a bigger joke than the Ray trade!

Guest Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 http://www.explace.on.ca/database/rte/files/2014_0305%20BMO%20Field%20-%20Public%20Meeting_FINAL.pdf Hey bluto just wondering, is the plan for the Argos to host a Grey Cup at BMO or the dome ? Based on the images the expanded seating looks as though it is only for the soccer set-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Paul Beaston said Once the grass is in the dome there will be no way to play football in there, During the baseball season that is correct. Beeston has brought up that the NFL games could still continue once the Jays are done, so in theory the Grey Cup could be played there as well in November. Page 7 of that pdf shows a 40,000 seat configuration for larger events like outdoor hockey or the Grey Cup. Look at the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Beeston has turned into such an ass regarding the CFL. At one time, he was highly thought of asa candidate for CFL Commissioner. Sour grapes, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxon Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Personally, I like the plan for BMO field. Skydome was never a good football stadium IMHO. I'm excited to get to a CFL game in the new venue. I hope the plan works out. johnzo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the images the expanded seating looks as though it is only for the soccer set-up. The plans call for temporary seating of 40k and the talk has always been that this would be for Winter Classics and Grey Cups... but that may be a shot across Rogers' bow to force a favourable lease rate from them for GCs since they now aren't the only place in the GTA capable of hosting it... who knows. but i'd bet it would be at BMO... and soon. a GC in TO is likely part of the deal. maybe a couple.

Jacquie Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Toronto will have to wait its turn - Winnipeg, Ottawa and Hamilton will get GCs before Toronto gets one again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Having an outdoor GC in Toronto wouldn't be that bad. I remember plenty of GC's in Hogtown where the weather was pretty good. Temps in the teens with no precip. Yeah, there's been a few championships where the weather had an affect on the game but overall it's been pretty good.

That game is legendary as was 1950 where Buddy Tinsley supposedly almost drowned face first in a puddle. And the Wind Bowl of 1965. But realistically, with all the GC's played there since 1909 the weather for the most part has been decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I lol'ed at the fact that of the 3 council members that opposed it, 2 were named Rob Ford and Doug Ford. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/toronto-council-approves-earmarking-10-million-toward-bmo-renovation-plan-253761011.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Maybe Ford wanted to change his vote. Pressed the wrong button you know. It's hard to hit the right one with the shakes or when he can't see the button. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
