First notice just posted about having the kids go out onto the field with players pre-game in the members area.

Good news from the Sportsnet article...


Silva and Cesar are close to returning to full training. Frei was back at practice Tuesday, wearing a protective mask to shield his surgically repaired nose.
The hope is to have all three back for the home opener Saturday against Sporting Kansas City at Rogers Centre.

Proposed MGM Casino looks like it swallows up all land around BMO Field.

^Um do people parachute to games and casinos in this magical drawring?


Thanks Coach! Renewed.


The CSL is putting up a fight and saying withholding their sanction "unlawful". Well they should know all about that word. Please keep chirping CSL. Air your dirty laundry and see what response you get.

Possibly underground parking that will flood when it rains ... Was thinking about that too. If this happens, they better step up the GO schedules. And it looks like the Ex is homeless - unless that's it south of Lakeshore or even where Ontario Place is right now.

How about we tear down BMO Field and build a proper stadium somewhere else, and then they can use the space as a parking lot for the casino. It would be a good thing for the football world to put our shit stadium out of its misery. Win/Win!

Prostitutes would have a great market down there between drunken TFC fans and drunken degenerate gamblers to persuade into a transaction lol.

MGM would pay for most of the new stadium. I guess the Indy Car Race would have to move..

Final round voting for the 2013 RPB members scarf is now open! See the Members Lounge!

Haven't seen this bit about BMO Field in other reports. Seems like MGM is already thinking about changes to BMO:


The plan adds another 400,000 square-foot level to the Direct Energy Centre, more seating space at BMO Field

http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/03/06/mgm-resorts-reveals-plan-for-3-million-square-foot-casino-complex-for-exhibition-place/

And yes, the mention parking:


bury all existing 3,500 parking spots plus 8,000 new spots underground.
