    I think it's more likely they didn't sell out lower sections and are moving people to lower sections or upper sections in East and west stands.

    Soccer specific stadiums with natural or hybrid grass surfaces rarely are concert venues, because building temporary stages can damage the grass. to build a multipurpose venue either BMO would have to go the turf route or they have to go super expensive like Madrid or Tottenham Hotspur stadium...

    Copa America was a general shitshow but that's par for the course with conmebol. Look up how 1000s of fans without tickets broke into the Miami stadium for the final. Fifa have their shit together in this regard. But the core point still remains that permanent grass surfaces like BMOs will be...

    Unlikely since the north end wont be completed in time for the march friendlies. Plus they still have to construct the lower temporary stand in front of it

    The rogers stadium was made entirely of temporary seating and had jumping concert-goers at every concert for a whole summer. We don't need to randomly cast doubts on the quality when this has been done reliably before, even at BMO field itself

    Not only will it have one of the best surfaces, but like I've said earlier in this thread, this is still a soccer specific stadium with the stands right up against the pitch making for a better fan atmosphere. In the NFL even the lowest "best seats" are raised a couple feet to accommodate for...

    In my opinion It's a wait and see decision. 2-3 years after the world cup ends if there's a steady growth in the viewership of the sport (all leagues) and attendance numbers in the country we could maybe invest in permanent upgrades to our stadiums for a more involved bid.

    The pitch won't be obstructed but the view of the north stand will.

    I cant speak for other sports but if this render of the Olympic stadium post renovation is accurate, I would agree that it's a worse fan experience for Soccer than at BMO field. Despite the stadium facilities being better the distance of the stands from the pitch would not be as enjoyable as the...

    Righty tighty lefty loosey makes me think it will turn clockwise if you're standing behind the TBM or anticlockwise if you're facing it

    A lot of the ones that ended up as host stadiums have been forced to convert to grass and remove lower sections because of the narrow width. They aren't getting a pass but they are also not perfect

    Ive never personally seen a soccer game at the Skydome but I've heard the atmosphere and viewing experience wasnt great. While the views of the cn tower and increased capacity are great, soccer is best experienced in a soccer-specific stadium with the seating stands right at the sidelines and...

    It's quite distinguishable to me. Line 4 is pink, line 3 is lilac

    Thats for passenger flow, I was talking more about pedestrian refuge and congregation areas around the stadium in this spot.

    Im hoping as part of this redevelopment they are planning for the increased crowds coming to and from Exhibition GO via the tunnel/bridge and the exhibition streetcar loop. I was at the Canada v Ecuador game which was a full house and it was a total mess getting out of exhibition place after...
