Yes yes yes, thanks for saying that!

Also, Rogers & Blue Jays get way less stick in all this than they deserve. Rogers bought a publicly-funded stadium for pennies on the dollar. Were there no...

Why lock the thread? There’s plenty of related info that interests some. The Argos attendance woes add an interesting new wrinkle to the conversation. We have also seen schedule impacts that are...

No way was TFC using "scanned tickets" for the last game (during CNE/against Montreal). That was announced as "sold out" during the game, and I believe it more or less, because why would they have...

Yes, and it was awful. Interest really waned as the playoffs dragged on, including some breaks. I thought they were going to tighten it up this year, not have it go so late. Now they went even later.

Wow, that seems really late. I think the MLS buzz will be completely & truly dead long before then.

BTW I thought the turnout for TFC was pretty bad last night, after all the hype. I don't know how the west stand looked from the distance. But the east stand obviously had many sold tickets dressed...

Really shocking for the Argos yesterday. CNE games are the best, great atmosphere, always a pretty good attendance for TFC, even when we were shit. (Man the Argos' record is 4-4, we would have killed...

LOL Toronto FC now in the lead with 34%, 4 hours to go in the poll. Come on, let's push it over the top just to piss them off!

I watched quite a bit of yesterday's game, on a free stream. :D They showed good views of both the east & west stands a number of times.

I didn't see as much of the south stand though while I...

I checked out the CFL schedules for different teams. Argos might have a few more Mon/Wed games than other teams, due to the ground share & TFC's compressed home schedule this year. However, Thursday...

So I better lookup the lineups & bench players before I get near BMO, because reception is going to be even more hopeless than normal.

I don't know exactly which months CCL will be next year. However I agree it will have an impact on Argos scheduling again, but also possibly on TFC.

Let's say Argos know from the MLS schedule,...

Does anyone have a good impression of how the field held up? I watched only part of the game, on a crappy stream, so I couldn't see much. But I did seem to see some clumps of dirt & grass flying...

If the Euro pitches were being screwed up due to NFL games or something else new that was put into the stadiums, for sure people would be upset with that & talking about it. Just like they did at...

Are you sure about that? I'm definitely no fan of Argos at BMO, but what I remember reading: CFL likes the grass a bit longer; footy likes it a bit shorter. So when they cut off the extra bit after a...

I agree overall, but it's also a bit of a chicken & egg situation. The TV stations do almost nothing to promote TFC viewership. No pre-game show; minimal exposure; hardly ever show up on the nightly...

Umm, I disagree.

East side did not look like TFC games: https://t.co/49A1uVQ8eo

I know that the Grey Cup is a "big deal." (Although I don't really give a shit about it -- not enough that I want it to screw up TFC's playoffs.) That's not the issue here, right? This is the issue:...

^ About possible schedule conflicts with MLS playoffs: somebody has in their signature here, how MLSE did all their homework before moving ahead with this plan. I.e., it will most likely get screwed...

I just hope they don't overdo it in future years. Back when TFC was a guaranteed sellout, MLS figured we would put up any crappy weather. So they front-loaded TFC's home schedule, March - May, when...

MLSE will be pissed for sure. I wonder if it might be partly because of the low Cdn $? For sure it's harder to make money here now, and then convert it back to US$.

Umm it's not quite like that. Argos at BMO Field wouldn't have happened so easily if two of our three owners hadn't decided to screw us over. Sure some CFL fans at the city & the Ex could have caused...

Something seems off about that. In early 2014 TFC's own groundskeeper said they weren't allowed to use pesticides, therefore couldn't use a heavy winter tarp, and that he was lobbying the Ontario...

Good point! I don't get why nobody from the club is talking about this (and so many other things)!? That one construction update video was pretty useful, but other than that, very little has been...

We had two very unusual winters. The grass pitches were bad in a couple MLS stadiums, not just BMO. However other countries have dealt with bad weather & had better grass. The solutions are known:...
