    Argo new practice facility in Downsview

    I have it from a well placed source the Argos will "soon" announce how a new practice facility will be constructed for them to house the team and eventually all of the management offices at the Downsview park location.
    Likely to be a rental or nudge nudge, wink wink owned by MLSE.

    Probably just waiting for CBA to be ratified! Not a shocker at all!

    makes perfect sense. There is already a public turf field that they could use today plus the bubble goes up in the winter. I assume they will probably convert one of the private TFC fields to a private CFL field and build a complex (locker room, weight room, physio/medical, meeting, plus office space) next to it.

    I just heard that the plans have changed and it's now going to be a twenty story condo complex to pack GTA streets with more cars. Joke!!

    I'm sick of hearing this and that let's start seeing something concrete.

    According to my source, the practice facility is a certainty and will occur even if MLSE does not buy the team.
    If that happens, the team will merely rent.

    It'll be a weedy, mosquito infested field with an old rusty school bus as the locker room. The coaches will have an old military issue tent for offices.

    I still remember being so happy about Erindale as it was so close to home. I got to so many practices even stopping in on the way by during my lawn maintenance days.

    Hopefully it all comes together for our Argos and looking back in a few years we can all laugh at how messed up things were.

    Wait t'go ! Spoil my dream.... I was thinking more along the lines of Edmontons or the Riders practice facilities. I saw a program on those last year. No wonder their teams want more in wages, and see the owners taking the spoils.
    Truth be had though, you are probably right .... at least for the first couple years.

    Oh wow, great find. I hope it's real. If so, its certainly the closest we've seen to a confirmation that the deal will happen.

    Well it is confirmed that the practice facility will be ready to go soon, my ticket rep and I were talking this morning... He is confident that the deal will happen at some point.

    My inside source also said the likelihood MLSE will eventually own the team.
