Its good, believe me. Permanent signs about food vendors with Panini, Footys -all walls red or grey. Its all very TFC

The east stand is unbelievably huge. Lots of different levels, lots of food, washrooms and space. Then you go up a level and more. The rogers club is massive as is the area where the players dressing room is. Lots of boxes with pretty nice (still being finished) interiors. Tim showed us where the posts for the roof will be placed, four posts to hold up the entire structure. There will be a light machine purchased to go over the grass to make it grow in the winter and the season due to the roof shadows.

It really has the markings of a long term investment and knowing the level of experience Tim L has in particular with MLS clubs and revenue streams this endeavour seems to be something rather huge and unique within the MLS world.

The players are beyond excited for Sunday. Its going to take a lot of work to get it ready for kick off but I think we are all going to be pretty happy with the new place.

Its overwhelming how much of a change there is. Still a lot of work to do before this weekends game but that video gives a good preview of how different it is.

Hi Phil, any idea if the old/existing washrooms & plumbing were upgraded? (Frost protection; heat for the washrooms.) Also any idea if there were any changes to the west-side concourse? There used to be lots of drainage problems up there.

Thanks!!!

Has he retired?

I feel like Deros pride will hinder him from being timely honoured.

He deserves to be on that wall of honour!

Yep, the so called interim GM whatever you want to call him wannabe , funny thing is Wednesday night in Montreal at the VCup match, I noticed him when he was doing all things, giving direction to the flag kids on how to come out to the pitch LOL

**OgtheDim** · 05-08-2015, 10:12 AM

have they put up this TFC badge yet, or has it been cancelled because it would upset Argos Fans

Not to worry, going up today. Being worked on as we speak.

**SenorDingDong** · 05-08-2015, 12:10 PM

It's going to be unbelievable next season with the roof. Seeing that video there is so many changes that aren't visible to the human eye.

Which video?

**Mateo1985** · 05-08-2015, 12:52 PM

Hey guys,

Not sure if anyone is interested but I saw TFC FO giving away scarfs and bracelets today in Liberty Village. You might want to check it out. Not sure how long they will be there though. The place I saw was in front of Hero Burger Joint.

Cheers
