ideas for in coming president Michael Copeland

[paulwoods13]

Open house is a good idea but more importantly there has to be fairness and transparency in how selection priority is handled. There aren't many STHs and we should all be able to get seats we like but I'm worried that some other groups like corporate sponsors or TFC STHs will be given first priority. I've already identified where I want to sit and I'm going to be disappointed if, after decades as a STH, I can't get something in that section.

I'd also like to know whether the home team bench will be on the east or west sideline. It's been east since 1989 which I think is nuts as it forces the argos to bake in the heat and look into the sun for all afternoon games.

I highly doubt TFC season ticket holders will get priority over current Argos season ticket holders. I agree and hope the Argos do make it clear how the process is going to work. My guess would be platinum season ticket holders by inception date, gold season ticket holders by inception date and so on.

Currently both benches are on the west side.

Currently both benches are on the west side.

Isn't that for soccer though?
I don't know of any (Canadian) football being played at BMO yet, so there is no precedent.
Also, aren't the teams usually on opposite sides of the field for CFL games, due to the number of people and equipment?
If so, I'm not sure what they would do with the lower level seats on the east side, as the view from there would be blocked.
And then there is the issue of where the change rooms are located. I assume that they are both on the west side for soccer.

Lots of questions, but I'm sure it's all being planned out in time for next season.

I believe they are on the same side in Montreal, and they definitely were at the old Ivor Wynne.

I believe that the two teams are still on the same side at Tim Hortons Field and they are in Ottawa as well. It seems to be an eastern thing so Toronto would follow suit with their divisional counterparts if both teams are on the same sideline at BMO.
