Nope - I cut off that blue tassel. It's my silent protest to the Argos invading. (Really I don't care if they're there as long as the pitch looks good.)Originally Posted by OgtheDim
Only until people look a their SSH scarf and then it will all come back.
Stadium looks great. So excited for Saturday. Can't wait.
a few weeks ago they suddenly increased their holdback on all the games thru the summer on ticketmaster. Look at the 3-4 fall games if you want to see what seats they haven't sold to SSH. There is a discussion on this in the sellout thread.
Bucket is fine with me. Hell, I don't care if they just put an X marks the spot, we don't sit in them anyways.yes, those are nice seats.
how much are the north end seats BTW? anyone know?
Looks like bucket style is going in south end
if they had to spend $ on these crappy things, why didn't they buy those german safe standing seats that all the supporters want
But if they put all safe standing seats in the south...i am sure the Argos fans wouldnt like that....
doesn't effect the permanent seating ... talking about the first 6 rows that are now temporary in the south. They could have made people happy. instead they buy the cheapest shit they could find.
I seem to remember this came up at the meeting with SSH's in March 2014 before the DCU game and the MLSE guy in charge (Hunter?) had no clue what safe standing was.
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
Did you ask them what the long term plans for the North end are?
It's in the story if you go down to the "questions answered" part.
^Nice column. Glad to read a positive review of "The Big Top".

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
I was told today there could be Argos signage in this area of the stadium next year.So as for that question about the SE corner - hopefully this answers it once and for all

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.
honestly, thats embarrassing.
It would the same like the TFC one!? Or will the banner just be there on CFL game day?
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.

Love the Pictures!
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.

I would have no problem with Grey Cup banners hanging. A teams Championsips being reconized is no issue. The reality is teams share stadiums and retired numbers, banners etc will be there.

You seem to answer you're own question here. And you're not wrong. The only drawback is storage shortage but there is a fix for that as well.
FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
There is an even more expensive product that has it all. Retracts AND has a seat that folds down (for Argos fans because where would we be without them).

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.

I think Onyx's quote works better here.
FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
^^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.
