Concerts? International Friendlies? Part of an Olympic bid one day?
Forcing lower ticket prices for the MLS and CFl sounds like a good thing haha
If Dublin, Ireland can have a stadium of 70,000 … a 60k stadium in Toronto, seems perfectly reasonable.
Glasgow has two 50k stadiums and a 60k stadium. I don’t think Wembley Stadium gets that much football usage compared to the EPL stadiums in London, but I believe it hosts quite a few concerts and other events.
Very few of these stadiums are shared between two teams either, like a new Toronto stadium could be shared between an MLS club and a CFL team. Plus, it’s not like Toronto has a hard time attracting huge musical acts, so it would stand to reason such a stadium would host a lot of concerts.
I just find it perplexing why Toronto doesn’t have one of the biggest football/soccer stadiums in Canada.
