TORONTO — The Toronto Argonauts may be able to rebuild the part of their training facility destroyed in a Christmas Eve fire, but a lot of history that went up in flames can’t be replaced.
“I went down there the other day and almost cried,” said Argos consultant Nick Volpe. “There were a lot of memories in that building.”
Destroyed by fire was memorabilia that included signed photos going back to the early 1950s.
“Now they’re all gone, and you can’t replace that stuff,” said Volpe.
The Argos are still assessing what else was lost in the fire, which consumed one of the portable structures that houses meeting rooms and coaches’ offices. Most of the team’s essential documents were backed up on remote computers.
The locker-room appears to have escaped untouched though it is still being assessed for possible smoke damage.
