Long weekends generally hurt attendances as people go out of town and add to this the fact that today is Thanksgiving with many families spending quality time together, this number does not surprise...

They'd still need to double Lamport in size. Varsity will never be expanded. York is the only possible alternative in the future but that's hardly likely either.

:(

True but in a small country like Canada, Toronto's importance in a nine team league is much more proportianally important than LA is in a 32 team NFL.

I believe you're correct.

Plus, who says the Argos are responsible for any of the $140 million in stadium renovations anyway? As the stadium was always supposed to be convertible, I would suspect that MLSE would be...

This was an anomaly of course but sometimes strange things happen. The link is now dead btw.

Not saying you're wrong Og but Silva was never with SJE.

The strands aren't weaved together. They drive single strands into the pitch generally four per 2cm square. The roots of the grass do grow around the artificial fibres though.

You wouldn't have...

At Skydome they used to cover up the first half-dozen rows with blue tarps w advertising or other some such graphics which effectively did the same thing and made the rest of the seats look less...

We'll have to see how it all plays out but yes, there is potential for that. It is an odd situation.

.... and that person was Chad Owen to whom they did not offer a contract and who now plays for the Ticats. It was an incredible black-eye / blunder as he was seen by many to be the heart and soul of...

... as was promised by TFC / MLSE many, many months ago. They said no logo's and no advertising except possibly in the end zones. There was none of that either.

If there were, it could be...

After one game in dry weather, ya, it's probably fine but we'd know more if we could see the condition of the grass between the hash marks.

The chances are not extremely slim, they are non-existent, zero, zilch, nada. Besides, if you know anything about Lamport, you would know that it holds only 10k and it's field is only 120 yards...

Maybe one but MLSE would be smarter to spread it out a bit. The novelty factor is important. If I were them I'd do one every three years.

Ya, a Canada v USA match, actually two matches ... men...

BMO didn't need a roof for that. Was there a roof in Ann Arbour? No!

The expanded seating was all they really needed.

"The Ordinary Superstar!"

Yes, until the day comes that some sort of line marker that instantly loses its pigment when sprayed with some sort of chemical cocktail that doesn't also kill the grass is developed, yes.

At times it was absolute garbage particularly in the bench areas on the sidelines where they laid down a carpet to supposedly protect the underlying grass. All it did was kill two huge rectangular...

This does concern me and TFC / MLSE owe us a SG Town Hall to fill in these details and to answer any and all questions that we might have for them.

Anecdotal information is not sufficient and...

Yup. In the end, what matters the most is our multi-million dollar players being able to pass and shoot without worrying about the ball hopping over their feet etc etc etc. Sure the esthetics...

It's a done deal. We're phuqed. There's not much to talk about right now.

They won't be gone but if they're temp, they may bounce better resulting in less sore knees and backs! (glass half full)

This one might actually make sense. Hybrid grass actually makes replacing sections more difficult because the hybrid strands are driven into the earth to quite a deep depth. It means you can't dig...

Good thing it didn't rain!
