Wow, never knew the importance of the location of a press conference.
I don't care where they do it as long as they have microphones that work.

“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
Maybe they will finaly announce the supporters gate, with a statue of billyfly (you know like rocky).
If both places were soccer centric I wouldn't give a fuck either.
Its just that MLSE talks about opening up the game to new people and building a tradition and et. al .
Why then not have the big soccer announcements at the NSS? Only makes sense.
The way they are doing it now just wreaks of corporatism and their self interests of $$ and nothing else.
Who cares where they have a press conference?? It's not like there on the middle of the field or anything
Im happy people are excited, but this is an organization that for four years has been unable to run the club and for many years unable to run any of its sports franchises.
Maybe people should temper their excitement now, so they are not disappointed mid season and we have the fire "X" convo's.
Nothing to me has indicated the FO can bring in the right people as history is littered with failed sports people throughout MLSE's history.
Its nice to have a management team in place, but none of these names are new or due to Herr Football.
This entire situation has been mishandled for four months. One presser should not erase that.

MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
and it would look like it too.
BMO field is NOT a permanent broadcast facility. The networks (CBC, TSN whoever) bring in the gear when there is a game to broadcast. That's why the trucks are there. Yes, you could do a press release with a webcam on your iPhone, but it would look about as bad as it sounds.
but whatever, you're just mad about something, that really has no bearing on anything.
ps. Hi freek! good to see ya!

Management isn't just the GM/Coach, its the entire front office.
Just because a guy starred with a major club as well as internationally doesn't mean he will turn around the club. Just refer to our previous four years.
Just because a guy has coached at a relatively high internationally, doesn't mean he will stick around to see the job through. Just ask John Carver.
Anselmi has never proven to get it right, what indication is there he will get this one right?
Toronto sports fans are fed hope, not the lure of victory to fill our sporting belies. This is another serving of hope. Lets be look at the situation with a more critical eye before we start a FO love in.
Just because someone was brought in, the past should not be forgotten.
My point is people should be tempering their enthusiasm until the results start coming in. Support the club in a lose your voice 90 minutes on gameday, but in between lets not just get all giddy, because after four wasted months, they are bringing somebody in... Finally.

I'd prefer BMO Field as well since it is the SSS but I am not too concerned that it's at the ACC. If it was summer and it was at the ACC, I'd be more concerned.
Boban, maybe the IATSE 83 guys have the day off at BMO tomorrow... who knows?
Yes, keeping things local is nice, but don't get angry with the experts when they give you plenty of logical reasons why things are done a certain way.
Just because it's not the way you like doesn't mean it's incorrect and the messenger should be shot.
Support Local Football.
Why would they get in cars and drive all the way to BMO when they can walk across the hall at the ACC. Really what fucking difference does it make where the presser is. All you see is backdrop with people sitting infront of it anyway. Jesus I have never seen so much whinging over where a presser is being held...be thankful they are even holding one.
because the NSS is where the game is played. Where the early days (and we are still in them) of establshing a soccer heritage and infrastructure. All of which the ACC has nothing to do with.
In light of that and if you still don't get it then ...
wow..are people actually arguing about the venue... holy fuck offseason.
I hear DeRo has visited the ACC
They should hold the presser on the pitch that way you can actually tell it's being held at the stadium.
Otherwise it could be held in Bob's garage for all we know as long as they bring the MLSE backdrop.
