Paul Beeston wonders about grass at Skydome and making it a "baseball-only" facility

York University is the closest of potential sites to where I live making it my selfish choice, but there's really nothing around there but the University and industrial lands. The subway being extended to that area would certainly be a benefit. Lamport is an intriguing site for a stadium. Liberty Village is an "up and coming" area as people have said. Parking is a bit of a problem as there are a lot of smaller lots dotting the area, but nothing really big. It is walking distance to the Exhibition as Paul suggested, but it would be somewhat unusual in the sense that your largest source of parking for the stadium isn't really that close to the stadium. I don't think even a quick fix to Lamport would make it ready for the CFL however.

Agreed.
Lamport is in such bad state of disrepair on top of which there really is no room to build new or even expand.
Parking is virtually non existant.
Maybe York or try to approach Woodbine again as they previously said no to C & S.

AT, I'd like to know on what you are basing the idea that there is no room to expand at Lamport. As for parking, it is in plentiful supply just a few blocks away at the Ex, and that could also double as a tailgate site because it is perfectly contained, as tailgate sites needs to be.

The piece of land that Lamport is on isn't very big and is surrounded by roads on four sides. There probably is a little bit of room for expansion though and we'd be looking at a scenario like Hamilton where one stand (the north side) backs right onto the street.
