    They are going to share our stadium, nothing we can do about it.

    I say we show them hospitality and welcome them for now.

    I agree with that. I am just really worried about the natural grass getting to torn up from Argos playing and the chance that some Grid Iron Lines may still be somewhat visible on Natural grass when TFC play ( even if it happens for just one game, I never want to see grid iron lines, EVER), now If that is never an issue I am not to worried otherwise.

    I'm in line with this too. The field is the most important thing. Losing the north stand is damned sad but is inevitable. Very little will change in the rest of the facility. The key thing is the integrity of the playing surface both in terms of its quality for soccer and its appearance.

    I don't want them here. Very few TFC fans want the Argos here. We're screwed and we know it so all we can do is hope that the MLSE crew keep their word and do things the way they've promised they would.

    Who knows. We'll know in June I guess.

    One thing for sure. I won't be welcoming them and won't be putting any money into their current accounts.

    Actual construction news.

    Just went by on the way to cheer on the Ticats in Hamilton today.

    Roof support on the North East corner is going up.

    North stand not torn down yet.

    Hah! Some might wish to do so.

    I am just choosing to ignore them.

    They are dead to me! This isn't an easy thing to do as I've been an Argonauts supporter all my
    life but that phase of my life has ended.

    Yup..... Disgusted big time . I'll never go to any CFL game ever again and I've seen a lot in their history . We'll either become mediocre with them or (God help us ). , become a niche market with only dedicated supporters . This city however pissed on continuously by main sports owners would support BIG TIME Any all out successful team ..... But they don't except small time financial compromise . I want TFC to fly but .........at what price . I need to feel a part of the process . That ain't happening .

    Same with me. I used to be a big-time Argo fan way back in the day. And you know, I'm not actually angry at the CFL or the Argonauts organization for any of this. Why would I be? Both parties simply want a place in which to play at the best price possible. That's Business 101.

    My issue has always been with the city and MLSE who had the final say and are the ones who stand to make the most monetary gains as a result of the deal.

    I just passed by the stadium and there is a lot of work going on right now. We should end up with an awesome stadium once everything is said and done. Just like everyone I wish we could keep the north end but the stadium should be great regardless

    Doesn't look like the roof will take all offseason, it appears to be going in pretty quickly with most of the prework already completed.

    I would have the guess the north stand as well as modifications in the south be the time consuming parts as well as any upgrades that are needed in non visible areas.

    Same here. Prior to TFC I supported the Argos because it was the Canadian 'football' league.

    I just think this arrangement could have worked out better - not compromising the pitch for TFC and for the Argos they are playing in a place where they can't really celebrate their history (in a red stadium).

    Sorry, back on topic..

    They did that years ago when changing from artificial turf to grass which was a big deal back then. Was kind of cool to look at BMO Field at whatever hour we felt like to see the progress. This would be more exciting that looking at them leveling the dirt and rolling out the grass though. More reason to do it now. They could put some advertising on that page and make some more money even.

    I'm going to assume that no one want to watch them take out their season seats while they level the north and the first rows of the south. IT's not a pretty sight.

    ...and watching them paint the grid iron on to the pitch would be horrible.
