The Toronto Nationals play at 7pm, so I assume the Lamport lot is closed.

And yet people love the idea of a downtown stadium...

LMAO

[phonzo]

actually taking the TTC streetcar from Union (509) was an absolute breeze

If we played north of the city...in a field...
and the highway was closed..we'd be sunk.

But at BMO...there is still Lakeshore, TTC, GoTrain, queensway, Richmond, etc....if you want to get creative.

[maninb]

I went from the Beaches to the stadium in under 20 minutes....Dundas was a breeze...

Assuming of course there was only one highway/road leading to the stadium and that there were no future plans for TTC expansion out to the 905 area over the next 20 years.

Even if there was only one (dirt) road leading to this stadium in the middle of buttfuck, nowhere, I think you are overstating the improbable. Ottawa Senator fans seem to be able to drive out to Kanata for each and every 41 home dates they have through their winter weather. I'm sure 416ers could manage to get a car safely to a game in the middle of August.

I'd counter that at BMO there are always closures of one form or another. Be it to the roads leading in or to the parking grounds itself. Most of the major headaches are known and will happen year in and year out (scheduled highway maintenance, the Indy, the Ex, etc).

[Azerban]

oh boo hoo it's hard for the 905ers to get to a game better move the stadium to york university

[Pookie]

^ that's nice... feel the

[Carts]

I got to BMO in record time yesterday...

Yonge Subway, 509 Streetcar right into CNE...

No slowdowns, no delays, nothing...

Fast & easy...

Carts...

i'm a 905er, probably further than you, and we have the best stadium location of any team in the league

can't abide anyone saying we should play in buttfucknowhere

[reggie]

i blame julian for the traffic and the loss yesterday..

[Pookie]

So, your argument is based on what?

where the season ticket based located?

with businesses exiting the downtown core, where the population and season ticket base will be in 20 years?

Further, the novelty of the stadium and TFC are clearly wearing off. Weekday games are sparsely attended and we are not sold out. With this "convenient" location, why is that?

BMO offers very little economic upside to the area given the few restaurants in the area (sorry Shoeless). A hotel is planned but none currently exist close by. Is this best place for it to be from an economic spin off perspective?

Or is that you just find it convenient to get there right now?

Ottawa Senator fans seem to be able to drive out to Kanata for each and every 41 home dates they have through their winter weather.

when I see their games on tv I don't see many people.

Sens crowds are down...
partly because it's a pain in the ass to get to Kanata.

TFC success - partly because young (20-40 yr old) professionals don't need a car and drive out of the city to catch a game.

If TFC had a new stadium up in on the 400...say the 400 is down...there isn't a lot of options to get up there.
