here is the sign on the north west light stand

It's not neccessarily the sign. TFC got a similar one. If you are entering BMO from the GO train, or liberty village, you wont even notice the Argos sign.
But we were specifically promised no...

I'm pleased with how the ground has held up so far this year. I think in the late fall there could be an issue as the grass in theory won't grow back as easily.... however those lamps they use look...

Rod Black gave 3 excuses on the broadcast, mentioned Duran Duran concert twice, road closures/traffic, and the heat.
I just find the media push begging people to come to games to be rather comical.

Also, it seems they're pumping noise in the stadium. Was out in liberty village, could hear the crowd, and even the whistle all the way to the plaza parking lot. I doubt the stadium noise with that...

Was at the rugby game yesterday. Couldn't really notice any argos lines on field, and that was within 3 days of their opener.
As has been noted, the real test will come after a game in the rain, or...

The Argos need a new marketing plan. all I've head from the media, from John tory, etc, was come to the game and tailgate. The Simmons article begged people to come to a game, and we're only 1 game...

Did anyone else notice the cables above the field? Presumably for the cfl sky cam.
Also looks like they'll be hanging banners above the south end, though as long as they're removed for tfc gam es...

Yeah, it helps that bell owns the team now, media have really been pushing argos more than previous years.
A slew of pics went out on twitter showing the field, they kept one promise so far, no...

Noticed the blue walls up last night, I'm sure it's temporary, same as how the Giants and jets share an nfl stadium.
A permanent fixture, or huge argo banners in the concourse would be far more...

Argos will announce sellouts all year, and they will draw well. 20000 is a realistic number for them. Plus some of the seasons seats are cheap, so scalpers likely are stepping up.
The opener will...

We don't always have to factor in the grey cup
Playoffs are a maximum of one home game, either the semi or the final
So next year, in theory the argos may host no postseason games,
Plus our...

I'm encouraged by the schedule. Initially it seems an effort was made to space out the dates. Let's now hope for no rain games, and no home playoff games for the argos.

I still think they'd have the Winter Classic game at the Dome.
More seats, more luxury boxes, more area for media, better transit infrastructure, the list goes on.
They'd have events at BMO, a...

The real test for the argos will come in season 3 of the BMO hail mary.
Season 1, they'll sell out, they'll get media attention, they may even win the grey cup. People will say argos football is...

I think the grass lasts one season before they say it simply can't work and go back to turf. They'll point to Vancouver Montreal new England Seattle etc and claim it's perfectly acceptable for...

I was actually optimistic about the hybrid holding up.
Figured if it worked for the Green bay Packers, it would hold up for the Argos.
If Tottenham and the EPL could play on it so could TFC.
...

MLSE made it an issue when they gave assurances about the field.
Of course, the easy spin will likely be that was TL talking and he is gone, so the deal is off the table.


The promised the...

I thought MLSE promised no logos on the field except the end zones.
Already the lies are piling up and the Argos haven't even moved in yet.

Green Bay is hybrid I believe and didn't look too bad... mind you it was their opening day.

I am more worried that every cfl team plays on artificial. The women's world cup was played on...

This Ottawa Edmonton game in a downpour is making me cringe. It will happen at some point during the Argos squatting at BMO, and it will ruin the pitch.

As a kicker on their end zone hill, painted...

Was thinking the exact same thing. The lines are still there. Especially with the pan am games coming up you'd think the field would be pristine.

Also while I know they have promised a retractable...

So phase 1 is over. The "Argos problem" has been solved as far as theCFL is concerned.

What is phase 2 for us? Push that the Argos never actually play on our field by having them stay on turf...

Agreed. Come up with a 2 surface solution. Roll the turf over for the argos and I'd feel much better about the ground share. I have no faith in MLSEs current optimism or promises regarding the pitch

Who is TFC's head groundskeeper? And do they even have one, or is it some exhibition place, city of Toronto employee?

Toronto doesn't exactly have a stellar record when it comes to maintaining...
