Yes... They will finanlly get it

Moron can your folks vote Grimes out of office.
Screw Mike Grimes. isn't he a insane simpsons character.
Pee Wee suit?
wow wait... quick argo joke. Back it up buttercup.
urggggggg fucking argos
Grimes. What a clown. Clearly working to keep Argos in the mix. Not doing a good job.
Argos get their mention, bringing back home to where they should be, by the lake on the EX grounds.

BMO there, despite pulling out of the jersey sponsorship, with all the profits they rake in, just renew.

least ford couldn't be there. twice as much argos talk.
hahaha. Outro music is Toby Keith, I Ain't As Good As I Once Was.
Out of uniform, the General actually looks a little bit like Buster Keaton.
Meta....woh.
So basically the Argos are coming, its just a matter of time from what I gather. I am honestly not opposed to it as long as I never see a single line, the pitch is maintained AND we have grass. Hybrid grass seems to work, I'd be alright with that as well. It'll be funny to see the Argos play the Stamps at BMO with all the red seats.
Braley, owner of the orphan Argos, must love Grimes. Too many years of the Argos getting something for nothing might have contributed to their present state of "fading fast".
You would think that decades of playing second fiddle to baseball would have inspired them to create something of their own...
It is clear that the Blue Jays don't want the Argos on their future natural grass. Why would TFC want the Argos on their present natural grass?
So glad I am not attending the ssh event tonight...
If you look at this picture there is a ton of room between the top of the south stand and the roof, presumably for the expandable capacity. But it probably won't be great for keeping sound in.
So the roof is part of phase two then? So just expanded capacity for next season and then roof 2 years from now? That kinda sucks since I only want the roof and actually don't want the expanded capacity.
I wonder what their new announced "sellout" numbers are going to be now? lol
Can't believe these renders don't include images of a Leafs outdoor winter classic.
Because, really, having that for the Leafs 100th anniversary is probably a big factor in MLSE plunking down the dough.
Or a blunt reminder of what the first wet autumn will bring should an unwanted ground share occur:

Just jumping into the thread now so way behind. Is there a schedule for how they are phasing the renos?
Phase I
Additional 8,400 seats with additional washrooms and concession stands
12 new executive suites, 2 party suites and a loge box
New full service kitchen for restaurants, suites and clubs
Two new private clubs:
West Grandstand, Event Level - 230 patrons
East Grandstand, Event Level - 420 patrons
Expansion of Rogers Club - current capacity of 500 is increased to 750 with upgraded look and feel, improved food and beverage and washroom facilities
New larger full HD videoboard replacing existing north videoboard
New concourse (2nd level) around south end of stadium allowing for one continuous concourse (at the upper concourse level)
Budget of $65M
Completion May 1, 2015
Phase II
Addition of full size canopy covering all seats with exception of North Grandstand
New sound and lighting system
Budget of $40M
Completion May 1, 2016
so no roof next year.
I'm guessing this is where the south seat stands could potentially roll under if the Argos move is confirmedNew concourse (2nd level) around south end of stadium allowing for one continuous concourse (at the upper concourse level)
