A four sided BMO with corners filled. I remember the original 4 sided BMO rendering wasn't quite the same as this.

No. Bit of a blowjob to use the bank's colours in this drawring, rather than the colours of TFC and Canada. Don't like it. It not look like manly stadium.

this blue version was posted long ago. I believe it's a submission by an architectural company that did not win the contract to design BMO.

notice how all the cement parking lots are now green space?

That a clear sign that it's pure fantasyland.

it is cheap and small, but it's ours, and I love it there!

Everyone needs a starter home right? You can't just move into a McMansion when you're 20.

I found this original sketch of the current building - note that the original design had a retractable roof!

I think they might have gone for a 4 sided stadium like this if they knew ahead of time how few concerts they'd be able to get.

You don't think they could have made it a little more intimate and with some character..
honnestly the place is bare bones

U 've seen RSL right

Yeah, every time I look at Toyota Park, Dick's Sporting Goods Park or Pizza Hut Park, I'm looking at Rio Tinto Stadium in Salt Lake.;)

In all seriousness, RSL's stadium is nice and our stadium is no frills, but I wouldn't exchange our stadium and its supporters for any other. If it's any consolation, BMO can be expanded or otherwise improved, though.

Maybe in 10 yrs time this is what BMO will look like. This could be post expansion BMO. Change that to red, and it's a decent looking stadium with some resemblance of a roof.

They day they close the corners, is the day the argo issue is resolved.
Can't have closed corners if you're going to have a movable stand.

Don't we have a stadium already?

I think expanding the stadium makes sense, real grass makes sense, a roof makes sense. But we don't make the decisions...

why do we keep talking about it.
