I’m not really sure what all the hubbub is about: as the people who have built the field have pointed out, the Ti Cats have played there several times, so how “incomplete” can it be?

Yes BMO is a great venue. I also think THF is a good venue and serves it purpose and makes the cats profitable.
No denying BMO is a better soccer venue. But it was purpose built for soccer while THF was built for both soccer and football. It will be interesting to see how the two compare when/ if BMO is made convertible to CFL football.
Interesting that they decided to host rugby at BMO for the pan ams.
