What kind of attendance have the national team had for Rugby League at Lamport?
The chief difference I noticed in Toronto between League and Union, is that the national team for Union advertised...
I'm sure there'll be the novelty factor for 2016, and maybe even 2017.
It's 2018 that I think will be the tell-tale season for Argos attendance (sorry for anyone wanting a quick end to this...
For a home play-off date, sure. For a pre-arranged event like the final for the Earl Grey Cup for Amateur Rugby - probably not.
They've already got two pitches sitting ready to go.
Perhaps some organic compound that quickly breaks down when hydrogen hydroxide is applied ...

Why do we care if the offset shit for an Argos game? Won't change for soccer (other than the disappearance of the north stands).
I' ve always said if you stick on a white hardhat, vest, and boots, you could pretty much just wander in most sites, and wander around, as long as you look as though you are supposed to be there. ...
Construction crews already on-site. The sealed drawings in the construction trailer would be a good indication! :)
Surely a lot of people know what's happening. It can't be a tightly-held secret...
Is that official? I'd heard originally it was first 8 rows; but this was all off the table with the latest configuration, and somewhat shorter CFL field; but just gossip.
The do all the football events in Hamilton was much later. If you look in that bid book, they lists 4 venues for football:
A | BMO Field (20,000 seats)
B | Varsity Stadium (10,000 seats)
C |...
That was what MLSE was asking for. But then things went quiet, a deal was announced, no details, but suddenly the Argos are playing on a modified field that's shorter than other CFL teams, requiring...
Did they? I thought the deal was a commitment from CFL that MLSE got revenue and concessions from two Grey Cup matches.
Or York University near the new Pioneer Village (aka Steeles West) subway station.
Not so much blowing it ... but hard to do anything when Argos only willing to toss in $5 million or so.
Ah, good catch. Argos blue or BMO blue? It looks between the 2 shades of blue the Argos use.
They play American football in Columbus's stadium - and many soccer-specific stadium.
Our stadium will remain soccer-specific. It won't be soccer-exclusive - never was. There's been several...
Not sure if they are saying it's temporary, or that they'll be throwing up temporary seating as necessary. (or perhaps they haven't figured it out themselves). Where is the reference from?
I looked through the new renewal website. And I couldn't see much. Most noticeable was our captain's armband. But that's the City of Toronto flag. Was there something in particular?
I don't see how Wembley is comparable. That pitch had huge issues before NFL ever got there. With being so much further north and the unfortunate roof design, there's very little direct sunlight...
Why do we think that much of the money from the Grey Cup goes to Bell/Larry? The deal was stalled with no one willing to pay the $10-$20 million conversion cost, until suddenly 2 Grey Cups (was it...
That appears to be clearly what the article says. Which I just noted in the thread about the Grey Cup at BMO.
It is what it is.
Rogers had already said Grey Cup can still be played in Skydome, as it's long enough after baseball to allow for conversion.
So TFC can play in Skydome.
Either we can be...
Yes, although the contract with MLSE made it very clear that MLSE wasn't going to have to cover 1-cent of the conversion costs that would be necessary to allow for CFL to be played there.
The...
Wembley was a mess long before there was ever an NFL game played there. Was that the NFL's fault too?
Braley hopes to be able to finalize next week is getting closer?
He's hoped to be able to finalize a deal for months. However, given the value of the team is less than the cost to convert BMO...
