    Sent out a tweet to Molinaro and Larsun trying to get some info as to when this construction is supposed to commence, but I never get a response from them.

    I believe TL say its 100m for the roofs.

    $30M for second east deck + others. This is similar to what the Allouttes spent updated molson stadium + added second deck


    your labour costs are 1/3rd in southwestern US as they are here

    pics are awesome but still don't like no back to roof, feel we will lose sound.

    I'd prefer giving the Argos $120M dollars and have them find their own location. This is just going to be another skydome: one size fits everyone (poorly) scenario.

    Prices in the north end will have to go down considerably with no roof or new video board it will be hard to justify the price point.

    Looks like they keep the north end the same.

    We will have to see if the roof stays over the supporters section, unless they don't want to do the the Heritage classic anymore. Only way to expand the stadium to add 10,000 seats is expand into the south end parking lot (not much space on the north end). Hope the roof stays though, because protects everyone from the wind of the lake.

    I note that IGF in winnipeg has no back to the roof and the sound reverberates extremely well.

    Adding even more seats is going to be very bad for the health of TFC. Looks alright otherwise.

    If this team is successful, I don't think there will be an issue filling a 30,000 seat stadium. The appetite among soccer fans in this city is there. Unfortunately, the success hasn't been there since the inception of the franchise.

    Looks good. I wonder if that's the 40k configuration though, with the temp second deck on the south stand added.

    Can't be. The southstand would have be higher then east (12k) and west stand (11k) to fit 15k in the supporters section + expansion into south parking lot

    "Coincidentally" an image gets "leaked" in the midst of all these changes.

    Not complaining as I've been waiting for a new rendering for some time now but I find it perfect timing all things considered

    We already lose sound, this will improve it, although not as we wanted, still will be better I think.

    I'm glad to see how happy the present fans going to games like the improvements.
    I'm sure people will show up just to see the place for the first time.
    They won't be back unless what's on the pitch improves.

    From the looking at that picture, it looks like the south stand ain't moving anywhere!

    I think you might be looking at it as though that roundish part is the roof - but I think the roof is flat, right over the stands, and that round beam thing is just architectural prettiness.

    Seems like the north and south roof will be completely independent from the seating and could raise and lower on big hydraulic hoists on each end. That would put the roof at the same height all the way around the stadium....same height as east and west stands. Then they bring in the extra 5,000 temp seats at each end to sit behind the north and south stands. Brings it to 40k for big events.

    Could led end up looking pretty good, but could be better also. I prefer filled in corners but difficult as you have to work with existing structure + CFL is still likely coming...

    Original planning approval was for a roof over all 4 sides - and for all perm seating to be covered.
