This opportunity sailed past the Argos a few years ago ...... unless you have some new info?
Listening to the garbage news wrt the Bills/BonJovi/MLSE fodder, I'm thinking ..... yea the Argos will have to move out of downtown, only to have the Bills come in and be welcomed to the downtown by the TO Council with $ to build a new stadium on the Ontario Place site. .... wash my mouth out with soap right now!
TFC fans remind me of spoiled brat kids of today that expect everything and feel entitled but have not gained any respect in the least for anything. Take..take..take but have not earned crap. I really hope that we don't go down that road with MLSE.
It's lovely that MLSE plans to "listen to" TFC's fans, but they will do whatever they deem makes the most sense from a business standpoint. Any TFC fan who believes that MLSE will not put the Argos into BMO simply because TFC fans won't tolerate it either does not understand or does not want to admit how MLSE -- or any massively successful business, for that matter -- operates.
CFL did the whole cap exempt thing 20 yrs ago (Ismail,Flutie) and it didn't work for the CFL just like it hasn't worked for the MLS. MLS is a retirement league for over the hill stars. You will see the odd CFL guy go to the NFL. The MLS however is the last train at the station carreer wise. As for being the best soccer in North America, lol, here's where the IFFHS ranks the MLS--> http://bleacherreport.com/articles/4...h-in-the-world Congrats MLS, you are ranked 88th in the world.

Did the Argos ever discuss Varsity?
The Argos almost cemented a deal to get back into Varsity in 2004. The U of T pulled out. Plenty of articles out there on how it fell through. Here's one: http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/C...04/700446.html
This was posted in the other Thread. It looks like it's going to be BMO Field:

Both Rob & Doug Ford were on the Fan590 today around 4:30pm. I didn't hear the whole interview but they were asked about the NFL in Toronto. They both think that it'll happen within 5-10 years because the NFL cannot ignore the 4th largest market in North America anymore. They also said that the best place to build a stadium is at Woodbine since it has the best access and that Downsview won't work because the people that live in that area don't want a stadium there. Doug said that they could easily sell 40,000 seat licences at $20,000 each within the first three days of them going on sale to help pay for the stadium.
When you consider that some key MLS teams (Seattle, Vancouver, New England) play in stadiums that service both football and soccer (and on field turf no less)...well...I know where I'd place my money on how this one is going to play out.
Support CFL league & team sponsors by buying their stuff!!!
Considering how many votes they are losing 40-2 at city council these days, I'm happy to have those clowns advocating for an NFL team.
Wow, what a joke these 2 are. I feel really good about the situation knowing that these 2 hash dealers take the opposing view.
