What is with this use of 'passion'? I heard this talked about on the radio over the weekend relating to applying for jobs. I can't imagine having this kind of intense feeling about any kind of job. Does this make me a bad potential employee? Do we have to BS to this degree to get even a retail position these days?
It all seems over the top.

As a current job seeker, yes (to both). You sometime have to write short essays.
Does anyone know where I can find other job posting Landsdowne related?
Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize this was one of those forums where everyone had to have the same opinion.
And what the heck is a "wrong opinion" anyway?
Yours. Just cause you're jealous of our beauty new stadium doesn't mean you can walk around spouting about how "inferior" it is (it isn't). On the plus side, since you hate it so much I don't have to ever see you at games! Don't let the door hit ya on the way out!

I agree with Mr. Mcbutterpants, the north side is an issue and should eventually be replaced, it is ugly, old, and may eventually become unsafe like the south side was. We were lucky the south side was damaged or else the city would have never done anything about the embarassing stadium out city features. Renovating or rebuilding the north side is however tricky since you would also need to tear down the civic center; that side of the stadium is used year-round.
I'm hoping that Lansdowne Park (or TD Place) could have a public open house of the stadium after constructions has completed. Not everyone (like myself) are sports fans, but it would still be nice to see how the "end product" looks like in-person.

What the policy for frustrated trolls on this forum?
I have been reassured that different opinions are actually allowed on this forum, so don't worry about being a troll. Just try not to get too frustrated if/when your opinion gets attacked.
I like the stadium.. I do, however, agree, that the North stand don't really "match" the south stands..
What I recommend is since most of the north stand has been "refurbished", with new seating, reinforcement, new arena and hopefully new concourse, it would be stupid to tear it down a couple of years down. What I think is they should just keep it like that for a couple of year (2,3 or 5) and see how well Landsdowne and doing and then after that I would just either completely tear down the flat roof over the stadium and build a new curved wooden veil to replace it. Therefore both sides would now match. OR if they arent going to tear that flat roof down, at least try to ADD a curvedwooden veil on top to "wrap around it" or cover the north stands, again making it more of a unified look.

Super idea. So why didn't they do that?
You know what, they actually did tear off the old flat roof. But then they replaced with a brand new ... wait for it .... equally mismatched flat roof. Why???? You suggest that they should "at least try". That's exactly my whole point. They didn't even try. And then they have the nerve to call it world class.

Keep in mind, it is an assistant manager position, rather than an entry-level sales associate. There will likely be additional responsibilities involved. Although I would think having a certain amount of experience should qualify you in lieu of a post-secondary education.

The flat roof on the northside was not removed, they just cut it back.

Actually the entire roof membrane was removed and the girders were cut back. A new roof membrane was then installed. Design effort was expended. Money was spent. Zero creativity was attempted.
A bridge should be built behind the Lansdowne Park,
near fifth Avenue and Clegg St, or Bower St., or Mason Terrace.
It would be more useful to more people than the (future) South Keys Airport Parkway pedestrian bridge.
