^ Yeah, I'm considering it myself. I think it would be the best time to take Mikaela out to BMO Field without the hassle of a big crowd. Also, the admission to Ontario Place is kinda cool.

[rocker]

thats a great deal (TFC + Ontario Place entry) if you have kids....

[Parkdale]

we should all go to Ontario place after and take over one of those Bouncy Castles.

[C.Ronaldo]

Cash Grab!

$6 for a practice? Come on, this should be free.

If they have to staff the stadium, and have people clean it up after, then the $6 becomes pretty reasonable.

Doubly so, if it goes to charity.

leafs used to do it at the gardens for free....

i'm pretty sure they won't suffer too much from letting people into BMO for a practice for free.

[Shep]

I picked up 3 tickets in case I've got the day free and the sun is out.

Go for a fry up, chill at BMO in the sun to watch the boys dance about for a bit and then off for some afternoon pints.

[InTheCrowd]

Anyone up for protesting (real grass, DP, roof etc.) at a practice?

[eustacchio]

Look at it as if you're paying $6 for Ontario Place and get to see the practice for free...sounds more reasonable, I think

[scooter]

see other thread this has been beaten to death already

[C.Ronaldo]

whats at ontario place thats worth $6? lol

[mastermixer]

I guess they are trying a different strategy. Charge for the practise but offer the Ontario Place incentive for the kids. I think the practice is meant for them anyways.

[rocker]

whats at ontario place thats worth $6? lol

for kids, a lot. it costs something like $17 just to enter Ontario Place now, so it's a great deal for the kiddies.

if you're a grown man, not much to do.. but then a grown man probably doesn't have trouble affording $6 to watch a practice.

OK here's the plan. Revenge is best served cold, right?

We all go to this and run on the field. What we do when we get there I will leave up to the rest of you.

[trane]

I would like to see what they practise. Do they chase chickens aroudn the stadium and try kicking fieldgoals?

That has backfire written all over it.

[billyfly]

I don't think it would ever happen, although I think a couple of times in Italy it did (?)
