I remember last year on TV you could hear the Cat fans over the Argo fans, it was the best.Over and over heard "Argos suck" and the oski wee wee chant, I could've sworn it was a home game :lol:
Yup, I hate the stadium and anything over 20,000 in that place for a game is awesome I say for the Argos, especially how crap they have been the past few years. TFC would be playing to crowds of about 5,000 in the joint I think. It was designed for baseball for the most part really.
But I would go but have to be in London for a wedding Saturday so will pass.
This is perhaps the most anticipated game of the year so far with the Argos making things very very intriguing, to say the least. Their success this year HAS to bring some new butts into the seats and maybe even clear out a few Agro closets. If you couldn't fill 4 busloads I'd be shocked. Friday night in Toronto and the weather being fabuluous, with a chance to derail the Argos' rise is hard to beat. I'm expecting a ball park figure of about 30-35 thousand fans for this one! Maybe alittle high but we'll see come game day.
any word on how many people are going down on that buss trip?
Im taking the go train down there but am just curious how many cats fans we can expect down there on Friday night.
Its amazing that the Dome, built as a publicly owned venue, had such emphasis put on it for baseball when the Jays were barely 10 years old at the time it was designed while the Argos had been around for well over 100 years.
Its bad enough they had to butcher Exhibition Stadium just to get the Jays, they had to go ahead and build a dome just for them too with $650 million 1980s dollars. Thats probably well into the billions in today’s money…
You can also see hints at the desire for an NFL team in its design as well. The endzone 500 level seating has a line of sight that truncates the last 10 yards of the south endzone for Argo games. This conveniently is also just behind the location of home plate in the baseball configuration and just behind the location of the dead ball line in the NFL configuration.
Continue the slope of the 100 level around the open endzones in the current CFL configuration with foldout seating and voila, you have the perfect floor space and sight lines for an American field.
Last time I took the train down we just grabed tickets off a scalper and we moved sections about 3 times. Not sure if there will be as many empty seats this time around but that’s what were planing on doing again. Oh n most fans sit behind the cats bench.
