Yes expected to be the 2017 pre-season game. This allows them to have the grand opening at the regular season home opener.

The preseason game will be considered a test event.

To effectively eliminate shadows from the sun you'd need lights that could equal the sun's output. So, short of that or installing a roof, there will be shadows.

Anytime you have a roof that is not continuous and solid, you get shadows. The new Vikings stadium is a billion dollar venture and has shadows.

NE Fan Plaza design announced. I assume the square pedestal will have a statue.

So much stone and concrete.

You're right....It needs more aluminum siding, then it will be perfect.

Indeed.

But in all seriousness they need to quadruple the amount of trees/plants they're planning.

I am hoping there will be flower pots everywhere. There actually are a very large number of tree boxes in the sidewalk all the way around. Can never have too many trees though.

Once complete, the terrace will include 1,300 metres of new sidewalks, 134 trees and 173 shrubs, according to a news release from the city.

It sounds like a lot but I have over a hundred in my yard.

Very hard to tell from driving by but there does seem to be quite a few cut outs in the concrete that is in place that would appear to be tree wells.

The south end of the stadium needs to have a lot of trees. Both to block the wind going into the stadium and to block the noise floating out to BDH's back yard.

The massive dome roof is going on the scoreboard today.

For the blank wall in the NW corner they should go with an old school manual "home/visitors" board with numbers that get swapped by a guy on a ladder.

Anybody have a guess on where the "ring of honour" will go? Looks like the Grey Cup flags are going outside the stadium by the Pride walls.

Man, those old stadiums (and dare I say new Hamilton stadium) feel like they start out with an asphalt parking lot. Then just stick some grass on, put some stands here, and boom you have a stadium.

New Mosaic is looking great by the way!

Taylor Field/Old Mosaic started out as an open grass field. Stands were built on one side of it. Stands were then built on the other side of it. Eventually the stands were rebuilt and expanded. Later, a major addition was done on one side, and then the grass was replaced by turf. Finally, end zone seating was added. When you look at the current stadium you look at at least four generations of construction, maybe more.

Oh ya. But just saying compared to the new stadiums which are below grade most of the time. Same happened with old Winnipeg Stadium, built a bit at a time.
