It actually is not bad. They are not straight on stands, they wrap around/curve. And one end is actually open, the other is closed.Originally Posted by SoccMan
Have a second look. The yellow section looks like it will be bleacher seating and the open end is where the scoreboard is.
It's due to sightlines. In a track stadium the viewing distances from the ends are terrible. Same thing applies to most CFL stadiums due to the extra long field and extra long end zones. If you only need 30,000 seats then you put them where the best views are. No point putting seats where they won't sell. Soccer stadiums are built more uniformly because the ends offer good views.
Once they build the second deck for the opposing stand it will look much better. Also, these sketches seem very preliminary ... I would not expect the finishing product to be like that.
Better question is: why did Brampton get screwed out of this? Our tax dollars are going to be wasted on this 3rd rate sporting event without any return to our city. But then again, we are used to of our money going towards Toronto and Mississauga without any returns.
Brampton gets wrestling. It wasn't totally screwed.Better question is: why did Brampton get screwed out of this?

Besides, Brampton is a true shit hole anyway.
Half the size of Mississauga. If any new facilities would come Missy should get them.
From what I see in the bid book it seems Lamport is out as a venue which kinda surprises me. Yet a new field hockey facility is being build on the U of T grounds (where I don't know) seating 5,000.
Fuck that sucks, Mississauga sure could use a stadium of that size.
Brampton is a shit hole? Last time I remember, Malton was located in Mississauga not Brampton.
Currently, Brampton has about 500,000 people while Mississauga has about 700,000. However, Brampton has one of highest average annual growth rate in Canada.
Anyway, where exactly in Brampton is this wrestling event going to take place at?
Powerade Centre ... but I agree with boban ... Brumpton is getting more than its fair share of events ... Mississauga is the one being left out.
What? Brampton is only getting one event without any money to build a stadium for it. How exactly is that getting it's fair share?
Mississauga isn't getting any money to build new stadium either. Plus why do you want money to build another arena when Powerade Centre already exists.
because it is hockey stadium located old side of Brampton. We need a stadium in new (north east ) Brampton. Besides, you guys already have Hershey Centre.
Has anyone else noticed the massive media hypocrisy surrounding this? Remember Dave Perkins' relentless campaign against the construction of BMO Field. Now the Hamilton Ti-Cats are getting a free stadium and he doesn't have any problem with that. He even wrote a piece in the Star today about how all these facilities are exactly what the province needs even though most of them will sit empty afterwards. He even managed to take a shot at MLSE. Then there's Bobo McClown who isn't saying boo about the Ti-Cats getting a free stadium with government money.
You just proved my point.
Brampton is not important in the scheme of the GTA.
Mississauga is twice its size plus way more linked to Toronto.
Mississauga is waay more in need of an outdoor stadium than Brampton.
But in any event, both cities should have at least one 3,500 seater (Miss 2) already - regardless of these Games. This is the screw up of both municipalities and its private sector.
To be fair the Ti-Cats are not getting a free stadium either.
The stadium calls for a capacity of 15,000.
Mr. Ti-Cat owner will have to fund the stadium to bring it to a min 27,000 for the CFL team. He will have to come up with about $50M from what I read.
not to knock Brampton, but it only grew b/c Mississauga ran out of room, same with Milton, same with north oakville.
Mississauga has 3/4 mill residents, and WELL over a million people in it during work hours.
has 4 highways, an airport, lakefront, great shopping, 2 hospitals and a well diversified population
i dont think Mississauga is the the greatest city ever, but it can survive on its own if it had to with 50 to 50 job to people ratio and has a real transit plan in the works (not that i think it will work well until Toronto and Mississauga get on the same page)
How so? What are you guys planning to do with it? Brampton needs stadium for soccer (Brampton Lions?) and cricket (Brampton cricket league).
No, Brampton got big because City of Toronto run out major businesses to Brampton where they don't tax businesses a lot like City of Toronto does. We got hospitals, a lake and even more diversified population than Mississauga (non-whites make up majority of Brampton population now). Let's not forget a lot of famous people that come from Brampton to boot about.
Not the case. The city of Hamilton is on the hook for $50 million needed to boost it to CFL capacity.
"Today we party; tomorrow we look at next steps," he said.
Those "next steps" include finding the additional $50 million the city needs to take the 15,000-seat Pan Am stadium to 25,000 seats to house the Ticats after the Games, acquiring property for the stadium, and fast-tracking plans for a rapid transit (RT) line.

You can use the stadium for regional HS game (homecomings), finals, track events, also Toronto Croatia, maybe even Serbian White Eagles.
That goes nothing to say about single events.
What are you trying to say here?and you wonder why Brampton .....
Oh I am aware of the city involvement. I never said Hamilton City is not pitching in. But that is public money.
There will be private money needed to make the Ti-Cats fit.
Mr. Young did say they will contribute, plus add in other private money (naming rights for 1).
Refer to my previous post.
'It's a shit hole' buddy.
Less white people does not mean it is more diverse.
How exactly does having a cricket league (that actually develop players for our provincial and national teams) make a city a shithole? Like I said before, you guys have malton. nuff said!
We have Hershey Centre and you have Powerade ... why do you guys need another arena and stadium more than us again?
I'm not sure where this cricket stuff is coming from but Malton is pretty much like Brampton ... if you think that Malton is shit, you can't have a good opinion about Brampton either.
not totally screwed, we got 10 pin bowling at the classic bowl!
LOL.not totally screwed, we got 10 pin bowling at the classic bowl!
