    Things like the MLS Final, and other TFC news.

    Period.

    it's for TV.

    the ACC is setup for Sports News people at any given moment. If they want to do anything 'live to air' at BMO, it requires renting a video truck. It just makes a hell of a lot more sense to hold press conferences at a facility that is set up for them. But what's a little logic?

    Yes, and you would not believe the fees that consultants charge for this type of work.

    They have a presser area and media room at the NSS.
    It's a new stadium with the bells and whistles of technology.

    they have a room. yes. do they have a full time video uplink? doubt it.
    Do they have all the gear sitting there waiting for someone to use it? doubt it.
    Does the ACC have a full staff of video techs just waiting for the next raps / leafs game? YES.
    Also... who's making the announcements? Anselmi. And where do you think his offices are?

    dislike it all you want, it just doesn't make sense from a practical standpoint.

    and no... it's not.

    no truck means no uplink.

    you might notice they have them parked for every home game?




    want to guess what one of these cost to rent for the day?

    and that right there, is why it's happening at the ACC. (among with all the other logical reasons I already listed)

We will have to waite and monitor progress.... and by the way we also hired winter and mariner".

    So you doubt it. Which leads me to believe you are talking out of your ass because you don't know.
    Don't assume.
    The stadium was built with the explicit knowledge that it was and did broadcast to the world, much less a city.
    It has the technical hardware to do so.
    As far as practical for MLSE brass .. well who gives a fuck!!
    If they want to grow the game, and everything around it, and are sincere about it, like they try to sell it to the public with their statements, then you start my making this the home (NSS) of soccer in this country - be dammed the inconvenience to Tom and the rest of the cronies.

    ^ You do know that Parkdale works in media and was in fact in a RPB video in the first season touring the TFC grounds and media facilities? (Not to mention several documented "visitations" to the grounds without permission? LOL! )

    I am inclined to believe him.

    Perhaps you should stand outside Gate 4 after a game sometime and watch them roll all kinds of boxes marked with CBC out to the waiting trucks. If they don't leave their gear at the stadium between games, I highly doubt they've left it there all winter. Sadly, Parky's right - that just hurts to say sometimes.

    No shit. Thats for game broadacast where many reporters are there, many cameras are to be managed, and live and tape footage to be broadcast.

    This is a bloody press conference. You could upload a live link on the web from your basement without much difficulty FFS!!

    Yes a live game broadcast takes a bit more from a tech standpoint, press conference are no brainers. if I do recall, in the 1st year or 2 they did quite a few pressers there. Now they stopped pretty much completely .
