Forward that sucka to MLSE. Raptors games just aren't the same any longer. Fears that it may come to BMO soon enough...

I do...I've got a piece of paper that says I own a handful of shares of a certain Italian club.


But seriously, that was an excellent article. I've been to a wide variety of sporting events, and TFC has something special and different from the rest. I hope they don't screw that up.

Which team?

Don't think MLSE will be selling TFC any time soon.

I made mental note of that too when I was reading the article.
