You forgot the new practise facility in the South lot, and the sprinklers watering our new grass:cool:

You'd want to put a roof on the East stands as well though, they get all the sun in their faces during the afternoon.

First, lets get some real grass on the surface. Then we can add more seats!

No it's more seats = more money.

Grass does not equal money :)

I think any plans for expansion would be a north end. It would be much cheaper and would make the stadium look less amateurish. Did you do that up yourself?

Not true!

Grass will allow Mo to bring in higher calibre players.
Better players will lead to greater success on the pitch.
Greater success leads to more games in:

MLS Playoffs
CONCACAF Champions League
Superliga
More games means more revenue for the team.
Get the grass first, then expand using the profit from this additional revenue.
The newfound success will ensure more people are interested in subscribing to seasons tickets when the expansion takes place.

North End will be the last area they expand into. The people that make the decisions, like the North End open for various reasons.

Why would that be??? I can't understand why they'd rather add another tier than make a four-sided stadium... it look stupid. And I hate the beer garden.

The more season ticket subscribers, the higher the ticket prices

I see wher you're coming from, but there is no need to be cynical.
A winning team benefits everyone, and still leads to higher profits for MLSE.

I see your point, but the expansion and demand for STH's will be there regardless of team success. If all the current Leaf STH's gave up their tickets, and the ticket prices were affordable, they would sell out in days.

Nice idea, but merely wishful thinking.

David Miller has stated publicly that the next move to boost BMO Field's capacity will see 5,000 additional seats added to the east side.

Kindly return to the drawing board and make the appropriate adjustments.

They can have their roof after we double-deck the east stand. To put the roof on before that expansion would be a huge waste of money.

Don't forget more National Team qualifiers with natural grass. More money coming in the gates and at the food stands.;)

New stands in the Northend, Standing room only. A real supporters section - people who purchase tickets here must sign a waiver. :)

Man, I wish that could happen... Though any north stand would be nice.

Oooh ya. A proper terrace with railings in the north end would be absolutely awesome.
