Need more depth in right wing/forward. Would be good to see Hamilton get some minutes there.

Canadian Tire (SportChek owner) and MLSE (Raptors and TFC) share the same advertising agency: SID LEE. They did the We The North campaign for Raptors.

However, seems limited if they use the...

Original planning approval was for a roof over all 4 sides - and for all perm seating to be covered.

Seems like the north and south roof will be completely independent from the seating and could raise and lower on big hydraulic hoists on each end. That would put the roof at the same height all the...

pretty cool hey.

I recently went to the OKC v Raps NBA game at ACC on a Friday night (game finished at about 10:30pm due to double overtime), then got to the Habs v Leafs NHL game the next night...

Fair comment. I didn't research this one really, I usually do my homework though. I'm pretty surprised they sell more tickets in a year than the Bell Centre in MTL and others with no anchor tenant....

Actually I don't think it makes sense to go in with 2 LA teams at roughly the same time. Just have 1 successful team to start and the owners to get a $250m relocation fee for LA team. There is no...

Farmers Field won't be built without an NFL team lined up. Sprint Centre is different, it shows that you shouldn't build a stadium/arena without a team. AEG honestly must have believed they could...

I can't see Blue Jays playing in such a stadium. Baseball are only building old style baseball stadiums these days. I think Blue Jays will eventually do that also. Maybe not anytime soon though. ...

I hear you. But, to address your initial 2 concerns:

a) I believe the Rogers family could come up with ~$300M in cash if they wanted to. Also, they can take a loan/finance some of it if they want....

...even with Edward Rogers III and family having $7.6 Billion in wealth, and at 30% minimum they would only have to put down a minimum of about $300M. Thats only 4% of their wealth. 4%! And there's...

Even worse is John Salmons on $7M a year - and he plays for the other team in a Raptors shirt!! Did anyone see the OKC game?!!

How would there not be Canadian TV money to be made for the NFL? At the moment, Buffalo has its TV region/market in north-western NY state... With a move to Toronto, their TV region would expand to...

That is massive news.

No way they should build a stadium without an NFL team already owned. However, its WC 2026, some 12 years away. Stadium would take 3-4 yrs to design and build, so 8-9 years before a decision needed...

I dont think it will cost $30M for the movable stands, it would be less. But saying "it will cost us $30M to adapt the stadium for the Argos with removable stands" - is helping to get that $30M...

Wow, im impressed.... I'd just like to say, as an Australian, you Canadians have really got the use of the "C word" down pat. nice job Canada.

I agree with you - but not sure he had anything to do with Blue Jays?

IF Canada did host WC2026 - absolutely a 40,000 seat BMO would be used - as a 2nd Toronto stadium (im sure it would get some upgrades then), however a new 80K+ stadium would be built as the main...

The $10M is a loan that will be paid back with interest. Also, the city gets upside revenue share from the expanded capacity and use for other events. Of all the bad subsidized stadium deals over the...

From The Sun today (pasted below):

[It seems pretty clear in TLs words here that MLSE will buy the Argos. He is even talking about building them a training facility at Downsview (if you look at...

We really lost our structure in the second half. They were scrambling and couldn't hold possession at all. dropped too many players back and then left too many of their guys open in the...

All the seating in Montreal's Saputo stadium's redeveloped 3 stands is basically temp seating put in to look permanent. Not sure if they have a bigger vision to do it all properly one day and expand,...

...whilst on the subject of stadium financing, here is a quick one on those newspaper stories saying it will cost Rogers/MLSE a $1Billion to build an NFL stdaium if they ever get a team... They would...
