It looks like a school portable to me.

Does anyone live nearby the "Modular Buildings" that are in Downsview where the Argos have their offices? I would like to have an idea what they look like...does the team have a practise field there now...or soon?

So I drove by the practice area on my way through town.
This area of Downsview reminds me of a new and developing subdivision. There are old warehouse type buildings with various sporting type groups ( squash, rock climbing ...) in behind is the KIA centre and the Sports training facility. Dirt roads with some new paved areas .... I drove around looking for the football field. I found it at the far end of all the practice turf areas for TFC. So I drove in behind the football field.....it Looked more like the construction entrance. The building looks like the type of modular buildings they use now for schools. New schools are built with a core area and have these modules added on ( usually bricked over to be like the school) . These modules can then be removed 5-10-15 years down the road when they don't need them .
Just from the lack of landscape and the roadways , it looks like the Argos are the second or third tenant in the new development. They have to move in sooner than the place is completed. Sort of like the Ticats and their new facility. ..... Just the step before. And we will probably have to do it again... Good old construction etc in Ont.
I feel better driving around there. The Argos will have a good place... Eventually. It's just too bad it couldn't have been completed fully before they had to move in .i also wouldn't doubt if a larger, different designed building ends up getting built in the future and the Argos can move out of the "sales "building .
The field looks good ... Except it has the track around it ....I assume the corners will be nicked off in the end zone but I didn't check.
I didn't go in and investigate as many construction guys with their hard hats were around. ..... Good thing, my husband didn't want to read about me being escorted from the change rooms!

Read this comment by Drew Edwards on the scratching post. Seems like there's lots of frustration in the organization.

What people are saying: A nomadic existence — the Argos have used four different practice facilities this season — and continued uncertainty over stadium and ownership issues appear to be taking their toll. There were reports last week that head coach Scott Milanovich is so fed up that he won't be back next season.

I have assumed for the past month or so that Milanovich may well become the Head Coach (and Assistant GM... naturally) of the Montreal Alouettes next season.

I don't see Milanovich jumping to Montreal next year unless he gets fired in Toronto. Don't think there is any grounds for that. He might leave if he gets a shot in the NFL with Trestman.
But I would think Jim Popp has Turk (what's his name) lined up to take over as HC with Garcia as OC. This is just a training year for them.
Milanovich has the good QB in Toronto, Montreal is a long way off from having a good QB. Good QB's make for good Coaches, bad QB's make for bad Coaches. Tom Higgins would be looking like a good Coach if Cavillo was still playing in Montreal.
