Seriously? Cmon, at least read the posts before spouting off like this.

The Argos presence here prevent us from installing desso, the one surface that works in the cold, because desso is a horror...

I think the grounds crew have been terrible, but it's not the issue. It's a sideshow.

The issue is the Argos and the ground share.

Mostly no, and hell yes.

The turf was terrible in CCL last March/April. The team was spinning it, but I bet 75% of people on here knew it was bs. That's the way I remember it.

The BMO Field Sunday Night Massacre

Wow.

If true I like the sense of urgency. The Panama game was the last straw. This can’t go on.

There is no dome option, so Toronto have to have the ability to move games in February on 3-4 days notice to a neutral, warmer site. No other option.

This is a major story in the UK. Wembley hosts Spurs-City tomorrow night in one of the games of the year. But the pitch was destroyed by today’s NFL game.

This was an interesting tidbit in there.... only 11,000 scanned in at kickoff!



In other stadium matters, Manning is looking at reconfiguring entry into BMO Field because of the logjam at Gate...

I have never understood what Rogers got or gets from going along with Bell on the Argos piece. Something tells me that is an interesting ball of yarn to pull at. It’s probably soul destroying.

We...

Sorry if this has been covered, but isn’t it likely that the Wolfpack will also play at BMO next year if they make it into the top flight in Rugby League?

It might be better to lay down grass at Rogers and play the CCL games in February and March there.

Some colour from Davidson here.

Larson says they are playing tomorrow regardless

Chivas play Atlas Friday. So seems highly unlikely.

Toyota Park is a palace. All brick, great aesthetics. Big concourse up top with tons of food/drink/washroom facilities.

Of course you only get that in the burbs, where land is cheap. Not...

It was built on the cheap and didn’t compare well with other SSSs right from the start.

I went to Toyota Park in Chicago in 2007 and could not believe the difference in gameday experience,...

A lot of the problem relates to the idiocy of the MLS calendar- soccer is a summer sport, it’s unreasonable to expect good grass in Toronto on November29

^wow that is one rancid piece of journalism.

No discussion of the sand, or what Giovinco said, or the soccer/football groundsharing disasters (eg Wembley) that make up most of the data set around...

This isn't that complicated. Bradley and Vanney, as leaders, were trying to help the esprit de corps of the grounds crew, when it mattered. It's not the fault of the grounds crew if they are given an...

Hahaha. Those assholes have made a serious mistake. That article will be searchable forever. They have no effing clue who Gio is!

They are too dumb to realize that someone they need to give them a...

When players do this, it takes courage, they always get grief, so they especially need to know that we have their back at moments like this.

I remember Dero getting ripped for coming out against...

Interesting. You could see it with your own eyes, that field looked worn out a few months after it was installed. (All those black pellets stopped "dancing")

Of course fieldturf was 5x as good as...

That grass did not look good when they did the overhead closeup for the overtime coin flip.

We are going to find out about the drainage now. It is going to rain for most of the next 7 days.

As I think about this, the number one risk to us in terms of conditions is wind, given our recent reliance on, or at least the threat of, long balls over the top to Altidore, and the likelihood of...

This could exceed the best intentions of any plan. If we get heavy rain leading up to the to the Grey Cup... (to be fair they screwed up in 1950, didn't put a tarp down pregame)
