^^^ What I read (I trust Environment Canada more tho) was that t-storms were being developed over MI and OH and will be travelling NE.

I believe your post more than the Windsor star website.

IT'S STORMAGEDDON!!!!!

earthquakes, now tornado's. its the end of the world and the gods are angry my friends. sacrifice a chicken in the parking lot before the match and it should settle things down a bit.

tickets were still over priced for casual fans...and probably only more hardcore fans know that this game actually means something...most casual fans probably dont understand the importance of champions league. Be full behind the net, rest of stands pretty empty.....TFc need to sort there pricing out for games like these...90% of fans are not going to pay over $40 for these types of games. Hell dont sell any tickets for champion Leagues over $25-$30 you could still make money off beer,food,merchandise if you get people to at least show up.

I wonder what protocol is at BMO if a tornado were to threaten the region....where would they put us?

I'm predicting the top of 224-226 will be quite full as well. that's where i plan to be. buy in 227, sit in 225, total spectating!

I think it is just TFC getting their weather machine ready in case we start losing. We had to use it against Vancouver already to get the game replayed. Better not start winning Dallas or we'll turn on the lightning. :)

^ Yeah those special effects which made it look like the CN Tower was being hit by lightning during the Vancouver game, were pretty cool, weren't they? I heard that system was installed on the tower together with the LED lights a few years ago...

Well, you are to seek shelter in interior spaces. Thankfully, the washrooms were designed to be more than ample to handle such a demand.

That and the well designed parking and coordinated flow of traffic before and after games make me thankful that our best engineers were consulted to build this palace.
