But does convenince factor in too?
905 and bedroom communities are exploding. All stadiums listed have a downtown location. Fans of the TTC will dismiss this but for those that drive to games as the bulk of 905ers do, it can be an absolute pain in the ass to get there, park and leave.
Perhaps those that have migrated out of the 416 are simply tired of 2 commutes. One to work and another, often on the same day to get to the stadium.
