    The pitch looked fine to me yesterday. I'll never be fully happy with this ground sharing plan, but at the moment, I can't complain about the playing surface. Obviously, that can change. But as I was...

    Yeah that's what I mean. I think we'll see at most one outdoor game a year, but the league is dead set against multiple matches at BMO over the course of a season.

    Is it just me, or did Barcelona get like ULTRA hip all of a sudden back in the mid 2000s? Don't get me wrong, it's a great team that has seen tremendous players over the years, but I remember Real...

    I gotta admit, I'm a bit surprised by this. I work in Pickering and probably spend more waking hours there than I do Oshawa. I'd say in a workforce of about 360 people I'm one out of possibly a...

    I'd say it has more to do with the finality of the issue. Argos coming to BMO Field is no longer a possibility - it's the new reality. The fight is over and we lost. There's not much we can do now...

    3-5 outdoor games a year? Doubtful. Maybe some at MLSE would want to do it as often as they can, but the best business model for these events is to create exclusivity to increase the public's...

    Was BMO Field initially funded with the intent to be a multi-use facility? Sure, that's true enough. I don't have a problem with that statement.
