Behind the Scenes of Phase 2 at BMO Field

So are there gaps or is the steel not added yet? Because it looks as if there is nothing between the girders, ie not really a cover at all.

The only roof section complete is the South endzone, that was assembled on the ground. Steel decking still has to be installed on the girders.

How could you possibly think the roof would not be filled in??? Wouldn't give any shelter at all. Actually, I drove by there the other day and the metal roofing has started going in. Where are all our photographers that used to take pictures of the progress?? Guess it's been too cold out. I should take some pictures myself soon and post them here.

Because that's what the pictures seem to show.

the roof is nowhere close to being done. They still have to add panels.

Thanks. That's what I assumed although I did wonder if maybe they were using clear cover (i.e. Plexiglas) and it just wasn't visible in the photos because of its transparency.

Apparently some a**hole on here challenged the reasoning behind some of those photos and offended some people. Wonder who that could have been??

Be nice if they would post an update showing the argo specific areas dressing room, coaches offices and traing room

Yeah, I'd like to see this as well.

Except for the dressing room, I don't think any of that is relevant considering they will only be there on game days. Coaches offices and training room would be at their practice facility in Downsview.

I had this thought originally as well, but I wonder if the coaches will have their own room or something. Could be wrong but I don't think it'll just be locker room stalls - if that makes sense. A trainers room for injured players etc should be included in some capacity; maybe it's a shared room ?

Betting on the trainers room being a shared room. Coaches will likely have there own room with a door into the locker room on game day. Nothing permanent.

Hey Paul I heard they changed their mind and decided to build a pergola instead of a roof. They're gonna plant some nice climbing vines, giving fans a lovely dappled shade in the summertime.

Didn't we hear that they were building a brand new dressing room, specifically for the Argonauts, in the new east stands? While the visitors use the existing dressing rooms under the west stands, the Argos will have the competitive advantage of a really nice dressing room. I thought I heard Cooper or Copeland say this once.

I never disputed that. I just said that it was irrelevant because the Argos will only be there on game day, and that the coaches likely would not need a permanent office at BMO. What is at there practice facility is what is relevant.

If the Argos new dressing room at BMO gives them a slight competitive advantage over the visiting team, I'd say that was relevant.

If you say so. I just don't see how it would give them a competitive advantage on game day. It's not baseball, the clubhouse really isn't that relevant in football on game day.

[Double Dare]

It could be a disadvantage if they have to share their "cups" with TFC players. Uuuuwwww.

[gilthethrill]

Just look at the Blue Bombers home record since they move to IGF. This could support your claim.
