    I suspect we're being invited to provide background props for the usual 'photo op' that gets staged at these events. We're being manipulated. So let's counter-manipulate (Is that a word? It is now!)

    Be a right chuckle if some wise acre passed out dozens, if not hundreds, of 8.5 x 11 pages with NO ARGOS HERE! in big, bold, emphatic type and we could hold them up and play hell with all this shared stadium horseplop. Maybe shout out the odd crude chant on the subject as well.

    Argos at BMO could work - all they need is a little rebranding :

    Change the colours to red / onyx and call them Toronto Football Club.

    Oh mama!

    I do worry about expansion considering how many seats seem to be empty on game days, but that looks like a proper football stadium. Damn.

    Its fun to look at the speculation from a few years ago. OP wasn't too far off in the end.

    Swirl of emotion right now. That's the kind of ground we deserve but this team has a long way to go, both on and off the pitch, to fill that ground.

    That BMO renovation is looking awesome.


    Here's a Vine of the new safe standing section being built in San Jose's new stadium...

    I'd love to see that come to BMO.

    I know it's a long shot but does anyone have yet to RSVP? Maybe I could hitch on as a guest?

    Time to move the visiting support to the North Stand I guess. Leave them to whatever the elements will bring and don't give them a roof to make noise under. Sounds like a plan to me.

    SO from the pics and article we can surmise that:

    1. we're adding a small second tier to the existing south end. Not sure how that's gonna work.
    2. the concourses are fucking off. Thank you, thank you thank you thank you thank you
    3.A second grant stand on top of the east end.
    3. upgrade/ increased luxury boxes, probably on the west end?
    4. some bitchin' ass rooooooooooofs, except for those on the north end.
    5. North end stays pretty much the same, probably all moved forward a few inches.
    6. it's a very british style stadium. I like it a lot.
    7. Pants tent.
    8. it's big. That's a lot of seats to fill that already aren't being filled.

    Disappointed about the North Stands.. but I take it they don't want to do that until the Argos are solved one way or the other.

    I'm glad BMO Field is getting upgraded, I really am. But even with the proposed renovations the stadium still lacks personality. The inclusion of a roof is going to help the atmosphere immensely, but it looks too plain and boxy. They need to do something, anything really to spice it up a bit. There are plenty of other stadiums in MLS that have their own unique look - I really hope TFC/MLSE doesn't cheap out again with the next phase of upgrades.
