Part of the North Stand idea I bet. They knew they had a good opp on this and knew they needed the seating. Tie this into more high profile friendlies etc.

Whoop
03-29-2010, 01:15 PM
Yeah, but they wouldn't need Don Garber here for that.

I'm with James.

ACC has far better broadcasting facilities and can support larger numbers.

Plus I think the TFC press room may still be a work in progress...pretty sure it was one of the things being changed this off-season.

I meant they got the North Stand approved b/c they knew they needed the extra seating for stuff like the MLS cup.

Maybe Nick Garcia is being publicly flogged?







(What's a thread without a little Garcia hate thrown in?)

Maybe they are going to re-enact that passion play in time for Easter. Garcia will be crucified.

Is that a joke? Did you not watch the game on Saturday? Did you see the product that Mo has assembled????

lets just create a "mo must go" thread somewhere....or a sub forum..

then all the negative "mo must go" shit can go there.

The press conference will confirm that Garcia has been named captain and signed to a 3 year contract extension...

I believe the comment was made with a good measure of understanding of the team.

Sheeesh. Are you going be this hair trigger about any topic?

Calm Down.. It was a joke..:facepalm:

At the rate the team has been changing, who knows what it will look like in a few months from now. Stranger things have happened.

RSL lost their opening game 2-0 last year too :)

Maybe Garber will announce something on the DP front as well. Would make sense to couple the announcement of the MLS Cup Final with adding another DP slot in a city that DESPERATELY needs it.

We can't afford another DP, thanks to you know who. Remember, they count for the maximum allowable salary no matter what you pay them.

Congratulations to MO for landing the MLS Final in Toronto. Yes MO. Because everyone seems to be in everyone else's business at the FO...so I am sure MO is behind this. At the end of the day...who cares...our goal should be to make it there and not host it...just shows where the priorities are.

Does the heated field mean that if we reached the CCL Quarters (which are in February) it would be played at BMO Field? Unlike Montreal which had to move indoors to the Big Owe.

This isn't Mo's doing. This is all Anselmi and Peddie. These guys know how to promote events and build condos. No two ways about it.

Too bad they seriously suck at managing sports talent.

Did they have to play in the Big-O...?

Or did they want the 55,000 ticket gate $$$ over 12,000 at Shitputo Stadium...

I think they had to because the field at Saputo is not heated so it was a block of ice in February
