You couldn't have worded that better. I suggest bubble wrap for one of the "safer" environments. : )

I know no one will agree with me but the "snowflake" mentality is quickly reaching it's best before date. There are a lot of sociological things at play here and you're right about the infatuation...

To me the sport with the most potential for massive growth is Rugby 7s. It has almost no cons and if marketed properly could/would/should explode. And most importantly it mirrors the "Canadian...

You expect that someone would purchase them for that?

Soccer won't be getting any bigger unless the CPL is a success. Toronto has room for growth because of the unreal size of their market but that hasn't translated beyond the success they've had...

It was about something he said that might become a big deal and I was giving the background on it so people will be prepared if/when the poop hits the fan. I posted all I wanted to post so you can...

Sorry, found the one article I really wanted about not installing hybrid turf.

BMO Field's grass guys feeling the pressure
Larson talks with the guys in charge of keeping the grass green
Kurtis...

Ok, the turf lesson is over, just pointing out what might happen down the road.

Back to our regularly scheduled thread.

Why GrassMaster was not originally installed:

Groundskeeper confident Toronto FC, Argos can share BMO Field
Neil Davidson The Canadian Press/TSN.ca April 6/2016

TORONTO - Toronto FC head...

Some history and some of the money that has been spent:

BMO Field's grass whisperer silences skeptics
Home of Grey Cup and Toronto FC faces huge test with big games three days apart.
Laura...

Just a few of the zealot morons would go ape poop. Most of the reasonable, knowledgeable folk know that GrassMaster is installed in many of the big name soccer stadiums around the world.

Those...

Where this could get interesting would be a Round 2 of the Argos/TFC sharing BMO saga. There are still a few goofs over on the TFC side who believe that GrassMaster is not a real turf field and that...

GrassMaster is a hybrid grass sports playing field surface composed of natural grass combined with artificial fibres. It was developed and patented by Desso Sports in 1993. This hybrid grass system...

The lines highlighted in the article above could become very important. What Manning said is well within the realms of possibility. It was originally considered an option but the present situation...

Toronto FC tired of playing on ‘cow pasture’, installing new grass surface at BMO Field
Neil Davidson, Canadian Press May 5, 2018

Tired of playing on a “cow pasture,” Toronto FC plans to lay a...

MLS isn't the best soccer league in NA, Liga MX is. And just to throw another wrench into Toronto lap dogging to the US, aren't the Impact and Whitecaps the best soccer draws vs TFC. Surely to God...

Nuthin' wrong with that : )

I don't think that's it, although it plays a part. In the US a football fan is generally a real football. They'll support HS, college and pro, not the same here.

Some of the issues are more...

Very true, mores the pity.

I don't know if I'd say that. We are truly living in the global village now, if I want to watch the K, I can. Many Canadians are playing in the KHL, so I have a rooting interest there (as Bob...

Any discussion or possible contributing factors I could give would likely be taken as offensive to some here but the one I just can't understand is why some say they can't watch the CFL because it...

I think the criteria for me is at least equal treatment with regards to TFC. I refuse to believe this cannot be rebuilt in a market this size. I can't believe that there aren't 30k rebels in a...

Wasn't there a family promotion for the upper deck that did really well ($20? a seat) People were apparently saying it was too good a deal to refuse. Was that the Flutie game?

Me too, it's Canada for poop's sake. It's not like we're living in equatorial Africa, but to each his own. I'll bet a significant price reduction would fill those seats.
