I’d argue that the problem again is Torontonians are a bit elitest and they only want the best. It’s why the cfl struggles here. People think to themselves why would they go watch this when they could just watch the bills. The marlies and 905 also have that same problem but they can market that...

The facility Mississauga has is tired old and not in an urban location. The whole point of this project is not just to build a sporting field but to inject some energy into MCC. “The downtown is boring. We have nothing exciting going on here until the festivals start (in spring and summer),”...

Well I don’t know where I was proposing something monstrous. We should be building something. My preference for a hockey/basketball stadium is based on the possibilities of concerts and other things an indoor venue could host. A indoor venue can also be used year round. It also takes a smaller...

I just want to be clear I’m happy about the idea. I just think it can be more ambitious. And sure let’s strike a deal with mlse that we will build a new 10k facility and it can host the 905 and leafs while being a concert venue the rest of the time.

The raptor 905 already play here. The argonauts average only 15k despite Bmos capacity at 30k. They are not happy with those numbers. And yes the Marlies have a place but its capacity is only 7800 which is high for the league average of 6600 but too much for their 4200 attendance.

Kansas city also has the chiefs and royals. I know you said more but what stands out is that Hamilton has a 28k capacity field. They also have first Canada centre which has capacity of 19k for hockey basketball and concerts. I’m just confused why Mississauga cannot have higher aspirations than...

The population of Pawtucket is 75k people. Mississauga has at least 700k. We’re talking a 10x difference. Or how about other places our size have cfl, nhl, mlb teams. But here we’re talking about a minor minor sports team. I think that’s a mistake. Again we are also taking not only about what...

If you’re using prime land in MCC you might want to have higher expectations than just some nice friendly random rivalries.

Great but what made mls at least somewhat respectable is Beckham, Henry, Messi. Maybe attendance is so low because people like to be able to recognize the players a little better than high school athletes I’d much rather Mississauga focus on being the home to mlse minor league teams. Including...

I don’t even know what this league is. If it’s anything less than MLS I don’t know how it can grow. That said if Mississauga could steal the argos then that is something.

I think there’s an example at Yonge and Eglinton and Yonge and Sheppard. I could be wrong.

Great but at Greg’s and or St Joseph’s are not beside countless 40+ floor buildings being developed. And this is the problem with elm and Fairview. They simply keep building more buildings so there’s no possible way for the area to age out of these schools. In fact Fairview doesn’t even take...

Although I’m told over and over how there is no demand for offices at MCC magically offices came to downtown VMC once there was a direct link to a subway. It’s all a big coincidence.

Let’s not get too optimistic in here people will Poo poo anything proposed around the epicentre known as MCC.

People go to the 905 because it’s association with the raptors. If Mississauga hosted the Marlies instead of the steelheads people would show up because of the association with the leafs. Personally I do not believe it is the market… it’s the advertising and what it’s connected to which makes it...

It is close. But it’s the natural grid so what can we do.

10000 seats and you can host the wnba, gleague and Marlies. That’s a noble goal when you add the concert venue it would also provide.

I hate MCC it has absolutely no culture. Just a mall and a parking lot. Well I guess there’s a central library, a civic square, an art gallery, and a performance venue for glass tiger. Now they’re thinking of adding a soccer field to this suburban disaster. Port credit is the only civilized...

Limited off peak train service was added in 2019 and that is a win pr wise dilapidated tracks or not. If you doubt how important off peak trips are please consult the Milton go riders.

Yes. I know. But I think those plans are now on the back burner because elm school is too small, so Fairview can’t close and there’s no downtown school. You can’t keep building 70 floor towers and not add school capacity.
