^ Why are those seats Impact blue? Ugh.
Hmm...interesting that the goal is May 1st.
The tables were BMO blue.
They will probably have to do a test event before the real opening to iron out any kinks. Similar to what they did before the first game in 2007.
My guess would be they will air the May 2nd Philly game on the scoreboard in the stadium.
Yes, tables were blue, but these are seats we're talking about.
So, in other words, play the entire season at Skydome?

Tables took up a lot less space. Less noticeable.
I agree with you, which is why I said the seats are a different story. You couldn't see the tables during broadcasts, and you'd barely notice them live. Having those awful blue seats will be... well... awful.Tables took up a lot less space. Less noticeable.
Has TFC comfirmed blue outside of a rendering? Seems silly to me to go BMO blue if the deal ends very soon. Having said that, the colour really doesn't matter as long as they're filled.
Looks like the doubled capacity for field side seats as well. Looks horrible. Wonder what they did with the tables. I am sure some tfc fans would love a set for their backyard.

Imaging the roof over that. Going to be quite the park once it's all done.
Hmm...going to need to do something about those Grey BMO seats.
That and you really get a handle on how small that little roof is.
has it crossed anyone's mind that there is a chance that phase of the construction never happens?
i mean i can imagine that this season we're not going to see a lot of 'packed houses.' I wonder if it's at all possible that MLSE backs off some of the financial investment in the team and stadium>
Pretty sure that's just the Pre-Cast concrete laid down - seats should be going on top
It is just the grey concrete , seats had not be installed when that pic was taken.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
I thought he meant the B M O seat lettering in the south end?
Ah, my bad!
Suppose there's always a chance, can't imagine it really.
Looks excellent. Cannot wait until the roof installation next year.
Looks like, dare I say, a real stadium. Can't wait for the first home game. Gotta say though, those seats in the new section look totally uncomfortable.
Looking at those aerial shots, you can help but wonder what a bear pit of a stadium that would be if a big second tier was added across the south end, with a big, shiny fuck-off roof jointly looming over the top.
My favorite stadiums are(were) all tight, two-tiered structures that create a dense, tight atmosphere and great noise. They would include:
The Mestalla, Valencia; Westfalenstadion, Dortmund; White Hart Lane, London; Loftus Road, London; The Dell, Southampton.
When Spain or Germany absolutely must have their national team win a game, the first two parks listed are where they have gone in the past. None of their opponents dreamed of playing in those parks as kids. They might have dreamed of The Bernabeu or Nou Camp or other famous grounds. But they never dreamed of those gritty, fan-first parks, The Mestalla raising fans in huge, luge-run steep slopes, Westfalenstadion with the roar of the Sudtribune, the biggest and loudest single stand in Europe - a tourist destination nowadays in its own right.
And they won't dream of them afterward because they are usually a nightmare to play in. That's what we have to strive for. For TFC and our national teams
Which, of course, means there will be the slightest need for a horseplop CFL team.

Did they build up the East to be the same size as the West? Hard to tell from the photos.
MLSE told me today that 18k of a 19k season seat target have been sold. 3k more than last year.
Not gonna happen... And TFC isn't going to fold.
Too expensive when you need to replace a single seat due to damage/wear.
