Ka 'Pla !

Matchuk, I hear what you're saying, but we have somehow managed to incorporate a combination of right-wingers (like ourselves), and left-wingers (possibly the majority on this forum), into a...

I don't care what it takes, but the Argos will need their own stadium. Maybe five years from now, maybe sooner.

Without getting into another CFL/NFL discussion, it would seem to me, that if an NFL...

Actually, if The Argos owned the Portlands area Stadium, besides a hotel, maybe they could have a camping area beside it. With admission to the game, free overnight camping. Friday night games would...

This has nothing to do with politics and/or the Olympics (at least to me). My point was that the Ex had access down Dufferin and Bathurst Sts., while the Portlands has (Don) Cherry St. and Leslie St....

Screw the Olympics --- the next Eastern CFL team should be in London, England, UK.


They're got the Stadium, the rowdy fans, and beer and (um) Kittens, galore !


Just thinkin' outside the...

Have we totally ruled out the Portlands area?

The arguments I've heard against it, are lack of public transit.

But the Ex, only has/had buses down Dufferin and down Bathurst, as well as a...

Oh believe me (you know me), I've thought about that. And Hamilton could have used a sail-in Stadium this year. But the cost would probably be prohibitive (think oil-rigs, with lowered/raised...

My first choice was always to tear down BMO and build a proper Football Stadium.

If Bell/Rogers took a serious interest in the Argos (?), and the Argos could have their choice of home games...

I'm of the opinion that a stadium should ideally be downtown. Most easily accessible from all points on the compass. Since the Skydome is going to be a no-go soon, is there room to build a stadium...

East of Lakefield, is south of Stoney (Stoner) Lake. I used to fish there in my youth. It is beautiful, but has lots of Rock, which one should avoid in a boat. I used to be totally into fishing, but...

Ka' Pla !

I like your idea in theory, but it seems to me that we need to be closer to Downtown, due to the fact that many Football fans like to drink, and also, if we wish to attract more fans, we have to...

The problem with Downsview, is that there is no there, there.

California Sandwiches seats maybe 25, a few greasy bars, and the closest fun is Downtown, unless you have a Hooker on an Air-Miles...

Ruling out Downsview and the Portlands (both hard to get to {during rush-hour} on weekday games --- which we should have during July/August, since many people head up north during weekends), and...

100% agree with Invader an idle stadium does no one any good. Long term would be an extremely viable option for all involved!![/QUOTE]

A shame. Haven't other Stadiums done it in the past? Is it a time-constraint?

I remember Football where there were obvious base/mound dirt spots on the field.

I still don't understand what the...

He's probably ticked that he has to order 4-12 Channels of crap for every Channel he really wants. Just like the rest of us. If Rogers wasn't giving me a 30% monthly discount, compared to Bell TV...

Regarding natural grass; Football has been played on grass since at least the late 1800's. And it's not just easier for Baseball players when it comes to injury reduction; it also helps Football...

Luckily, here in Ontario, we are still allowed to have a cig on the patio.

Even in the middle of winter, one can still step out with a drink/beer and have a smoke on the patio in many...

I agree. 35,000, even 40,000 minimum seating. Expandable to 55,000. Even if if 500 fans will be circling the Stadium in a series of Goodyear Party Blimps, with extended blimp mass and seating and a...

By the way, my crack about Rogers buying New Zealand, is not in any way a derogatory statement toward their profit-making abilities. I respect Rogers, for being successful and profitable in business....

Furthermore, I just want to re-iterate, something I read in Argocister's link above, regarding windows:


[...] As far as I could discern, though, there is only one indoor stadium with a "fixed...

Notwithstanding the the pre-eminent issues which have been discussed here, including the difficulties with growing grass, and drainage issues concerning such a bold initiative, I still think that,...

That's exactly it, Ravi.

The Argos have been offered nothing but scraps.

We have discussed alternate possibilities; we have options.


Whether The Portlands, or Varsity, or York, or...
