    Part of the North Stand idea I bet. They knew they had a good opp on this and knew they needed the seating. Tie this into more high profile friendlies etc.

    Yeah, but they wouldn't need Don Garber here for that.

    ACC has far better broadcasting facilities and can support larger numbers.

    Plus I think the TFC press room may still be a work in progress...pretty sure it was one of the things being changed this off-season.

    I meant they got the North Stand approved b/c they knew they needed the extra seating for stuff like the MLS cup.

    Maybe they are going to re-enact that passion play in time for Easter. Garcia will be crucified.

    TFC is changing their name to the Blizzard!
    MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto

    The press conference will confirm that Garcia has been named captain and signed to a 3 year contract extension...

    Calm Down.. It was a joke..

    At the rate the team has been changing, who knows what it will look like in a few months from now. Stranger things have happened.

    Maybe Garber will announce something on the DP front as well. Would make sense to couple the announcement of the MLS Cup Final with adding another DP slot in a city that DESPERATELY needs it.

    We can't afford another DP, thanks to you know who. Remember, they count for the maximum allowable salary no matter what you pay them.
