    1. Yes, he was arrogant about the ticket prices but that is what his "NFL" minions sold him on. Rogers was not a sports fan ... he was a making $ fan.

    2. Rogers did NOT steal the stadium from the taxpayer. That's 100% unadulterated Bullshit. (and false too!!) Rogers is the 3rd owner after the taxpayer.

    3. Rogers when ted was there was a major CFL sponsor when the CFL had no (and could not get) major sponsors. They only parted company after the CFL found major sponsors that paid more than Rogers.

    So Ted was always fine. Now the Rogers of today are scum but crapping on Ted is just ignorance and at worst ... fear of the people doing the crapping today. (Nobody has the cajones to crap on Lind!!)

    PS: And since it's obvious you don't know this. The real value of the Dome is still to this day owned by the taxpayer.

    He brought the NFL here and wanted them here. He bought the stadium for a fraction of what it cost to build in inflated dollars. We subsidized that just like his infrastructure. Why would the CFL want a partner that openly brings NFL here and did little to report on the league. Rogers Corp today is worse because they openly sabotage the team. I'm just saying Ted wasn't a great partner and laid the foundation for what his company is today. Please educate me on how RC is still owned by the taxpayer. If that were the case we would not be looking for somewhere else to play in October.

    I believe the land under Rogers Centre is still owned by the city but not the building.

    If that is indeed the case, is rogers paying 100% of the proper taxes? OR did they get a break on that as well. (i would tend to believe the latter)
