My latest from BMO Field. Includes the latest photos and video from inside the stadium Wednesday. And, my column: http://www.torontosun.com/2016/05/04...leiwekes-dream
^Nice column. Glad to read a positive review of "The Big Top".
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
So as for that question about the SE corner - hopefully this answers it once and for all
There's a shit-ton more here - http://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads...r.8777/page-64
It makes sense to have bucket seats for the removable seats in the south end because they will blend in with the rest of the seating in that stand. I'm really curious how this stand will look with the temp seats back in - if it looks they way it did originally, then well done in this respect.
As for the north end, it looks way too spartan. I would be happy if 10-15 rows of temp seating were added for TFC games - all of the way across the north end, with no gaps.
Was down at the Marlies game tonight and circled BMO, looks amazing up close. Has a true footy feel to it. Was even more amazing when I came out and the lights were on.

I don't think they've decided. These things change month to month or year to year.
As I wrote in today's Sun, there will be a large banner/sign atop the northwest super column this season.
I was told there could be more signage elsewhere on the outside of the stadium.
Still, I don't think it's that bad. Seems like 95% or more of stadium will remain red when Argos aren't playing.
I think it's a shame Leiweke isn't around for this.
The hyperbole would be set on 11.

One thing I don't understand with the renos.
How hasn't that new elevator in the west stand been finished yet? They've been working on it since the renos began
Looks like a do-it-yourself Roof Kit from Canadian Tire
Well it didn't come up much at skydome or NA much so by the next meeting with supporters he'd explored the options. His background isn't footy. I wouldn't have expected him to know it all. Still incredibly disappointed in the surface decision he made.

^^Yeah.. No Grey Cup banners. Fuck the Grey Cup.
It's a pity that the South End roof was installed so high just to accommodate temporary seating for non TFC events.
Thats the economics of spending the money they did, its the new reality of BMO Field. Plus in the long run if TFC does take off they have more room to add even more seats. But in the short term, the Winter Classic, Grey Cups are the events that will help pay for this renovation. Saturday can not come soon enough. I am looking forward to seeing BMO from the inside with my own eyes.
