Just fix that silly roof you helped design.

Not kidding.

Bravo to you skeptics in recent posts above for calling a pocketful of bird poo for what it is. This event really was little more than a huge marketing mirage.

Kinda like calling the south end...

Ha ha ha!

You're bang on about the whole sand issue, Auzzy.

The playing surface after MLS Cup looked like a driving range tee box. It might have passed muster cosmetically on TV, but it was not anywhere...

One other point.

I had close access to the Seattle players after the game. We were all in the same room under the west stands. Half their guys could hardly walk straight. Stefan Frei was limping...

The operating rights for Lamport are in the hands of MLSE and they wouldn't have taken that on just to maintain status quo. That's not how they operate. There are a number of options available to...

That's the sound of fear.

Coming through an official media organ of the CFL.

The on-going and long-term quality of the pitch is a huge issue and the Argos need to be viable in order to justify...

Plenty of space. The amount of land to work with there is virtually equal to the area of BMO Field.

Anyway, doesn't need to be that big, does it?

There was a lot of green sand filling divots all over that pitch. It took its lumps during the Grey Cup, make no mistake.

Just because it looked good doesn't mean it was good to play on. Huge...

Hello, beautiful:

And how you doin' gorgeous?

Unless we learn that Giovinco's injury was pitch related.

The ball skips off wet grass quicker and lower. But moisture didn't help Oduro or Mancosu or Piatti run any faster. I don't think a pitch that was slightly softened after Sunday would hurt us.

But...

Pass the Dutchie to the left hand side... .

I don't think rain will be a negative factor. The field felt very firm underfoot after the Grey Cup, something I think helped it withstand the punishment from the gridiron cleats.

The equipment to...

The whole Wolfpack thing is pretty darn rip roaring.

So's annual losses of $15-20 million.

I don't hope or hold breath "for anything else to change in the near future". I simply rely on the craven monetary lust of MLSE to earn healthy regular profits from good business practices.

The...

Operational control now in the hands of MLSE.

There's a nice amount of land to re-build a nifty new boutique stadium solution for the Argos and for the new rugby team that starts next season....

At least someone had the good sense to force the CFL to stage the cup presentation in an end zone mostly covered in artificial turf. That big mob gathered before the stage probably chewed up some...

Hmmm. Dave Naylor of TSN - official mouthpieces for the CFL - suggesting that the Grey Cup shouldn't be brought back to Toronto until Argos support is on a par with 'support elswhere'.

Maybe he...

I just looked and the weather is about as good as could be hoped for Wednesday. Fairly mild weather, no overnite freezes. That will give the crew a chance to restore the grass. The rain on Tuesday...

I'm sure the CFL won't give a hoot what the field is like once the game is over. You don't have to look hard on-line to know that a number of their fans will wish for it to be an utter mess.

With...

It won't snow here but rain is now forecast for the four days prior to Grey Cup Sunday, with overnite temps dipping to the freezing mark. Sunday is expected to be dry but quite cool. Then, more rain...

"...aren't pissin' away money...".

Ha ha ha. That's great.

But they already are. Is there a point where all this pissin' away might have a deleterious effect on the playing surface, in terms...

And it's not like the CFL's big guys are built like the galleons of the NFL. More like pocket cruisers, doing light drills or walk throughs in sneakers.

Might be skunks or raccoons digging out and eating chafer beetle grubs. It's not a bad thing for them to do. The grubs will ruin the roots of the grass. Just flatten it out again and be sure to...
