    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Sorry, I know this information is in this thread but I'm having trouble finding it - where would the Brampton tunnel begin? And what would the stops be?

    Mississauga Toronto | Mississauga Soccer Stadium | ?m | ?s | City of Mississauga

    Yeah agree with many of the comments re York United. I think its struggles are due in part to the fact that 'York' is not really a place anyone identifies with, and the stadium takes a long time to get to from downtown. It feels sort of like a stadium in no man's land, representing a very...

    Mississauga Toronto | Mississauga Soccer Stadium | ?m | ?s | City of Mississauga

    The CPL is small, but it's only been around a few years, and soccer in general in Canada is on a huge upward trajectory. The men's national team is in a different universe than it was 10 years ago in terms of talent. I think it's a great moment to build some soccer infrastructure, as I think...

    Toronto Toronto | Rogers Stadium at Downsview | ?m | ?s | Live Nation

    It is interesting, definitely. Michael Grange, who is a good reporter AND works for Rogers, wrote in a recent article that Ed Rogers may pursue the NFL next. There has been seemingly zero momentum on Toronto and the NFL since Tanenbaum/Leiweke/Bon Jovi failed to purchase the Bills (10ish years...

    Toronto Toronto | Rogers Centre Renovations | ?m | ?s | Toronto Blue Jays | Populous

    Looking at those swanky lounges, Rogers must be extremely unhappy that the team is probably going to have to embark on a rebuild for at least a year or two.

    Toronto Toronto | The Well | 174.03m | 46s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

    Looks fantastic - really feels like a big success. I know probably never going to happen, but imagine they were able to pull off a Rail Deck Park across the road? Would be an unbelievable area.

    Hamilton Toronto | TD Coliseum Renovations | ?m | 4s | OVG | BBB

    I heard an interview with Tim Leiweke (former boss of MLSE, who's company is doing this renovation) on The Fan 590 this week, and he was arguing that the GTA is badly underserved in terms of high end, large arena options. He was saying that similar sized regions usually have at least three...

    Some interesting stuff in this article. Sounds like a new stadium in 10 to 15 years is still very much on the table. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/article-as-sports-teams-grab-billions-in-taxpayer-funding-for-stadiums-blue/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

    Toronto Toronto | Rogers Centre Renovations | ?m | ?s | Toronto Blue Jays | Populous

    When the story broke a few years ago about a new Jays stadium, I was all for it. Very happy to knock the dome down and build something new. But I have to say, post renovations, I think I actually agree with you. The fan experience is night and day, and visually it's far far improved. Plus...

    Toronto Toronto | Rogers Centre Renovations | ?m | ?s | Toronto Blue Jays | Populous

    As someone who goes to about 10-15 games a year, the outfield renos made a massive aesthetic difference. Watching a game out there feels completely unlike the previous iteration of the Dome. A lot less heralded, but the improved fake turf and new infield cut out (done a few years ago) has made...

    Toronto Royal Ontario Museum | Daniel Libeskind + HPA

    If they go through with the University Park idea, there would be an amazing opportunity to really emphasise that side of the building.

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    If you took me back to when Doug Ford was a city councillor and told me that he'll be the Premier who actually gets the relief line started (more or less) I would have thought you were nuts.

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    Is there a reason why Line 4 extension proposals don't have the line veering north slightly to intersect with Agincourt GO to allow for an easy transfer there? I guess cost prohibitive?

    Toronto Toronto | Rogers Centre Renovations | ?m | ?s | Toronto Blue Jays | Populous

    I think we underestimate how strong support tends to be for the Jays when they're good. Jays were 8th in MLB in attendance this year, ahead of a lot of better performing teams playing in nicer stadiums. I think attendance will probably hold more or less as long as the team is going for it, then...

    Toronto Toronto | Rogers Centre Renovations | ?m | ?s | Toronto Blue Jays | Populous

    The 100 level infield seats of most baseball stadiums look pretty similar. There's really only so much you can do (Make sure seats are angled toward the infield, better seats etc), it's not really a place to do something quirky. The outfield was the opportunity to do something distinct (which...
