I wouldn't be surprised if Emerson does run, probably in Quadra, possibly in West Van.Budd Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04194826986794514558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-18466159702530811082008-08-12T14:54:00.000-04:002008-08-12T14:54:00.000-04:00Another important point about BMO Field is that Ma...Another important point about BMO Field is that Major League Soccer has fairly strict guidelines mandating that all clubs are supposed to have soccer-specific stadia. Converting it to multi-purpose could cause issues for TFC's relationship with MLS, any may even be prohibited by the League's rules.Devin Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397722901414317169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-57253480282260174692008-08-12T12:34:00.000-04:002008-08-12T12:34:00.000-04:00Jeff... on the BMO field thing, a few points. 1) T...Jeff... on the BMO field thing, a few points. 1) The Argos had a chance to get in on that stadium from the start but backed out and almost killed it off before it started when they got a sweetheart lease deal from the folks at Rogers for the dome. This is hindsight on the part of the Argos, plain and simple. 2) It's not just the home of TFC, it's also the National Soccer Stadium, the CSA has a stake in it too. 3) That stadium, because it's owned by the city, already gets used tonnes by local leagues and such. It's a very busy place. The Argos will only make that worse. And 4) Toronto FC has legal rights as the primary tennant of BMO, so while the city owns the stadium, MLSE has the right to refuse another tennant. Personally, I hope that MLSE exercises that right because that's an amazing gem of a stadium right now, and I wouldn't want to see that ruined. (by the way, I'm a die-hard CFL too, so this isn't a soccer vs. CFL thing for me)northwestern_ladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16833632861345350726noreply@blogger.com
