BMO Field Pitch thread

Very interesting. Too bad that the Argos will be the first to play on the new pitch June 23rd. It it hasn't rooted very well yet, and/or there's a downpour during their game, it could be a worrisome start for the new grass.

Argos pre-season home game is yet to be scheduled also. Would be some time in June presumably. Maybe they can play it at Lamport ..

Lamport is out as you simply can't fit a Canadian field there. Now they could go to Varsity as they did under the previous ownership but I am not sure MLSE would like the optics of that at all, playing in a 5K stadium. With it being a Ottawa at Toronto match-up, they could also have the Red Blacks play host if it truly was going to get in the way of the field replacement.

I believe Lamport's turf replacement won't be completed until the end of June.

When does it begin? I mean, it's got a bubble and people play rec sports at Lamport currently.

According to the City of Toronto website, the replacement begins in spring 2018 with anticipated completion by end of June 2018.

Lamport Stadium will be undergoing renovations and is slated to be ready for USL play in late August.

I don't understand why it would be finished for rugby by the end of June, but not for TFC II until late August. It's only the last three TFC II home games against Atlanta, Oughta-wah, and Louisville that are at Lamport.

Are there schedule conflicts between the Wolfpack and TFC2 during that interim period?

Wolfpack's first game at Lamport is scheduled for May 5. Lamport has heavy rec use, the Toronto Sport and Social Club already had the field booked quite a bit when
TFC2 schedule came out.
