OK, we've been discussing this on the moderator team, and we've decided that this popularity contest between Argos fans and TFC fans is done on this board.

Any discussion of pitch issues will be...

Interestingly enough the Argos trolls who were on here earlier have now fled. This leaves Pookie (a CFL fan? I'm not sure) vs. a number of people interested in arguing about the Argos. I think if...

The excitement was giddy way-back-when

Argos won the Grey Cup only 4 years ago... it's not due to their record that they are irrelevant.

I was at city hall when they celebrated that win afterwards. The size of the crowd was...

It's interesting to see how the NFL strategy for promoting itself in the UK is being lauded, without reference to the league executive who came up with the initial strategy of doing it, one of the...

I haven't noticed any.

As someone who had started following the budget MLS 1.0 in early 2005, and had watched the Lynx for a few years with sparse crowds in a decrepit stadium, it was pretty unbelievable. The one...

I think that was addressed recently in one of the interviews for the 10th anniversary. I remember whoever it was saying that it would be a much harder sell to the MLSE board of directors than $10M,...

We have to remember that when the National Soccer Stadium was built, the Argos existed and TFC didn't. There was no real soccer crowd like there is today. So the politicians could only justify it...

It's funny how absolutely nothing is happening on this topic at the moment, their are no gridiron lines, the pitch is doing fine, we've yet to see what happens during serious rain or the playoffs,...

The pitch is fine. Nice and green with no pointy ball markings.

The Jays game was the big one, from what I saw (we got 28k during a Jays game).

Acts like a totally different guy now that he's not doing the Edge's morning show. The stupidity was just a put on. He's actually relieved to act normal.

The CFL is still pretty big in Western Canada. Toronto pointyball aficionados mostly watch NFL, but that's not true out west.

... and you can't use the excuse that you use for say hockey. We say the NHL is the best league in the world for hockey, but MLS is not the best soccer league, that's why MLS has low ratings.

:smilielol5: Who would have thought that Argos fans have the same fear?

$50mil after the DPs? Wow. That's crazy money for a franchise that cost MLSE $10 million.

I've banned the troll and deleted his posts so he can't have the satisfaction of having a voice here. If he comes back, the same will happen so he might as well give up.

Even that won't do it. So few people showed up for celebrating the last Argos GC win. Let's face it, it's mostly guys even older than myself who support the Argos in T-dot.

The Argos primarily exist as a foil for the Western Canada CFL teams. The CFL is still very strong in the West. In Toronto, NFL has taken over, especially for younger pointy-ball fans. This is not...

Knowing MLSE, they probably still have those patio stones from 2007-2009 and can re-use them to save big bucks. :lol:

SUM value is much more than $20 million. That total would be the annual profits, the cost of buying those profits would be much higher.

I was wondering if we'd get there.

It's a portion of the gate and parking, and concessions. it's not a fixed cost.

Here's a link from Argos TV showing how great BMO Field is for pointyball:
