    Problem is that relief line is probably at least ten years away. They haven't even started an Environmental Assessment. Ford and Miller both screwed the city by ignoring this project.

    Couldn't they add a GO station somewhere between Cherry Street and the Don?

    Well the rail line runs right along there, I suppose they could, it's probably a similar distance away from Union that the Ex stop is.

    As for the infrastructure, sure there's a lot that needs to happen for the Portlands but not much more than if they put the stadium up in Boonerville like some suggest. Putting the team way up there would be suicide, the Argos would become the next Toronto Lynx.

    Most of the Argonauts fans are from the 905 and Vaughan has highways and a TTC Subway stop.
