New Stadium Locations

What highway access does Downsview have?

Go a couple more stops on that Subway line and you'll be in Vaughan with real highway access.

A real highway access that'll cost $15-20 per way for those coming from Oakville or Durham region. IMO, the 407 shouldn't enter the equation of being hwy access to a stadium. I live right by the 407, and do often take it, but man do I grumble when I get my monthly bill.

MLSE will be buying the Argos.... Tim has to save face with the soccer fans a little bit here.. The Argos wil be at BMO field by 2015 in my opinion.

Sounds like the round trip cost for 2 people on the TTC or GO Transit.

Aren't you the same person that brought up gas and wear and tear on the vehicle in a previous thread concerning traffic for the Eastern final? Sounds like you want it both ways when it comes to supporting your argument.

Living in Thornhill, Vaughan would be great for me, but overall, I still think the Toronto Argonauts need to be in Toronto.

You know a passport is not required to cross Steeles Ave....fact is the Metropolitan urban area has been moving northward for decades now.

The passport comment is also in reference to media coverage of the Argos...I can't see the media giving the Argos any less coverage, and with possibly renewed interest and a better atmosphere at a non-downtown stadium, coverage and relevance from the media could actually increase.

Seems to me it has been moving west, north and east for decades now, actually. In other words, in every available direction.

This was posted in another Thread but it's probably relevant here too:

it looks like you are correct. from what i was told, MLSE never thought Braley would have the stones to build a new Home for the Argos. Then they found out how serious Braley was and that it was going to be a muliti purpose stadium, with a bubble for the winter. He was very close to a deal with Markham and or Mississauga. Once MLSE heard this, they approched him. Now Braley wants big bucks, This deal would have been done 3 months ago. MLSE offered up 8 million. Braley came back with 20 Million. This is all about controling football in T.O and stoping Braley from building a stadium. Now from what i hear, Bralley is demanding first rights to buy back the Argos and the option of a small ownership stake if MLSE does attract a NFL team. I think MLSE will own the Argos in 2014 and if they do, we will be playing at a revamp BMO
