How are those people in the front rows behind the concourse going to see anything?

I agree Nick but with the caveat that if they'd just have clearly told everybody what they were going to do, the hysterics would never have occurred. Ya they said temporary stands so those of us who...

People shadows, yes but the lights are high and the shadows will be short.

I'm referring to a massive sun shadow of suspended scoreboard/PA system over the field when the roof is open.


...

Agreed.

I wouldn't do that as it projects very annoying shadows onto the field. BC Place is horrible for that when the roof is open. It makes the game really difficult to watch on TV (in particular).

.... and we had some extremely fine players on the rosters of these clubs through the years. Some are better known than others such as Eusabio and Bettega but we've had some peaks (and many...

No. With the notable exception of Detroit, NBA and NHL clubs share facilities when located in the same city. Chicago, New York, Boston and Toronto (four of the original six) do this. If Montreal had...

... and I think that's something that has to happen here. It will simplify the cleaning process with less wear and tear on the grass during that process. It's the damned numbers that I'm most...

The sound bounce off the roof was fantastic and it reflected down to field level and into the south stands in a fantastic way. Yes, the pillars were a problem but as you say, that's how it was done...

Ya it did but it was a very long grandstand. It was much longer than the old CFL Field of 160 yards (back when end zones were 25 yards each). If you sat against that glass wall, you were probably...

Sorry? Not quite getting what you're asking.

Yes, exactly indeed! We have to shake hands with the devil but that is the price we're going to have to pay. Rogers might end up being our protector.

We are and we aren't! MLSE does not own the Argonauts. Two of the owners of MLSE own the Argonauts. It's not quite the same and the current situation will not be quite as advantageous to the Argos...

The roof on the east side does actually meet the back of the grandstand. The west side is another story all together. I don't know if the gap is to make it easier to rebuild or modify the west side...

They'd only have to retrofit those first few rows to give them the space that they might need. There was never any plan to rebuild the entire south end, just the few rows at the front.

If we make it to the Hex with five games to be played, that's when we'd see something back here at BMO. It'd be nice if we could get El Salvador but I'm not sure of the timelines.

Absolutely. There have been too many games here and we've been tapped out financially. Add to that the total lack of cache to Belize or St. Vincent.

This is not to denigrate Vancouver who did...

Because it is simply not necessary. All they need to do is add six yards to make it a legitimate CFL feed. If they proceed with a retractable lower south stand, they'll have done all that needs to...

Hah! Some might wish to do so.

I am just choosing to ignore them.

They are dead to me! This isn't an easy thing to do as I've been an Argonauts supporter all my
life but that phase of my...

I'm in line with this too. The field is the most important thing. Losing the north stand is damned sad but is inevitable. Very little will change in the rest of the facility. The key thing is the...

AFL is Australian Rules Football. A totally different animal played on cricket ovals. It's 100% unique.

When New Zealand lets them!

Don't worry about it. They'll be back. They'll probably bounce better now too.

Look at that rake on the first tier though. That's as bad as Skydome's 100 level. Be happy our lower level has a relatively steep rake.
