Obviously, there is still some irritation over the failed York University stadium proposal that fell through before BMO Field was constucted. I too believe that the end of the groundshare plan at York U put Toronto FC's franchise bid in jepeordy and is the cause for quite a bit of current animosity...
But, ummmm, is anyone really thinking about it carefully when they cite it in the current discussion.
Sorry if I'm overstating the obvious, but what do you think would happen if the York U plan DID go through?
1) Well for starters, we'd probably have permenant gridlines on the playing surface...
2) Which would be artificial with no chance of grass...
3) And jointy run by the Toronto Argonauts and York University...
4) With soccer playing second fiddle to the Argos and varsity teams in terms of scheduling
Now with all that said, should people really try to bring up the York stadium deal when in fact we'd still be in worse shape playing there than the current possibility of the Argos coming here?
Food for thought.
