    Hopefully it means they can squeeze one tap of it in there or else something from InBev other than Bud, Stella, Leffe, or Shock Top.

    Still a little concerning that the new seats in 114 and 116 haven't been started.

    Seeing as the stadium is supposed to be done by May 1, that's a ton of work to do in 23 days.

    The seats are the easiest thing to install. Better to work on more complicated tasks now and hold off on their installation to make sure everything else is running smoothly.

    More than just seats, need to fill in an old walkway and fill in the old accessible seating area in the front of each section.

    I've outgrown Hieneken. Would take a bud over it any day. Also, no one likes a beer snob.

    Off topic end/

    Nice shots Wagner! Thanks!

    Also, Like anything, I put faith that the company that receives hundreds of millions of dollars worth of contracts each year knows better than guys on the internet about construction. Calm your jets and cool your horses.

    but they need to install a few rows, on an angle.
    maybe they'll simply drop in a steel frame/structure?
    or cement blocks?

    that's a good point.
    MLSE doesn't eff around when it comes to money.
    no way they miss out on revenue, or issue refunds of any sort. (unless legally required)

    I walk by the stadium every week or 2...and the progress lately is super fast.
    all the cement was poured and smoothed out yesterday.
    the night crew was coming in...
    they have 1 month.
    I think they'll do it.

    Oh, I'm happy. Wouldn't matter if they poured my favorite beers...still wouldn't buy, at the matches, for those prices.

    I'm not sure where you see these rows that need to be installed. There's the big top teir, then a small teir right below it (looks like the seats will just be fastened in the same way here), and then below that is the tarped off area which is the suites.

    If you leave from the West side of the stadium & are going to Joes, its quicker (and just less hassle) to walk to the Dufferin Gates, then cut through the side streets in Liberty Village to get to Joes...
    Good tip! Never thought of that -- I'll give it a try.

    they are filling in the red areas at the front of 114 and 116, 5 or 6 rows of seats.
    that massive open area won't be there this year.
    just a little space at the front of 115.

    Single game tickets went on sale today. It said that tickets wouldn't be available until 2 days before the game - either at will call or print at home.

    Is that a new thing?

    Yes it's a new thing. You can still buy tickets but can't print hard copies until 48 hrs before the match (at least at the box office, not 100% sure about Print-at-Home). The Leafs and Raptors have the same policy.

    i don't know if my tastes buds are broken, or if when I have a beer, the circumstance rarely allows me to differentiate other then "warm and bad" or "cold and gone bad"

    I cant believe they didn't set up a webcam or something. Is that too 2007?

    I wish there was a phase 4 that wrapped the building in something, where it's brick or w.e.

    During the 'American feed' of the TFC and Chicago match, they were announcing a $2.00 Heineken would be available for the next home match. . . .

    If it was in a can, and, not a light-struck green bottle...I might actually drink it for that price, lol
    Don't mean to sound like a beer snob, I just really detest that skunkiness from green/clear bottle light struck beer


    Anyways, back to the better topic of pics!!!

    Except for us who have to take a Westbound GO train. The need to build 2 footbridges to access Atlantic Avenue and the Westbound Platform, could you imagine if someone had a major medical emergency in the tunnel after a match, but then again we are dealing with Ontario, Toronto politics.

    As mentioned elsewhere, the tunnel is being extended on the north side, and will get better once they have a new entrance there with bigger stairs. Just like the stairs on the south side aren't much of a bottleneck now.
