Tim Leiweke promises Toronto FC will make playoffs
Quote:
The chances of an NFL team coming to Toronto in the next decade are "pretty good."
Given 17 of 19 Toronto FC games were played in rain at BMO Field this season, "we've got to put an end to that, it's time to put a roof on BMO Field."
At the requests of the city of Toronto, which owns BMO Field, MLSE is looking at whether the venue can be changed to accommodate the CFL. "The Argos are part of a conversation, not a decision that's been made."
MLSE is looking at whether a larger block of tickets should be freed up to get some new Leafs fans in the ACC to make the venue livelier.
The NHL needs to put hockey in the Seattle-Portland marketplace, as well as returning a team in Quebec. And that such expansion — as well as possibly in Las Vegas and Kansas City — is needed to grow the sport before talk of a second franchise in the Toronto area.
