What you conveniently ignore is not only would spending hundreds of millions renovating Commonwealth like you want it to be renovated not be worth it, but Commonwealth is not a CFL only stadium and was/is designed to host events other than just football. You seem obsessed with its capacity being further reduced which just isn't going to happen, sorry.

kid like me? why are you insulting me? Ive definitely been in a suite i Actually won it in 2012. They are shit. Why is my cost so far off? phase 1 of BMO was 50M and that is more or less what i'm proposing. The entire bill for TD place was rumored to be 90M and thats more or less what im proposing. The F*ck is your problem? you think building a few levels of sites a concourse and seating for 10,000 is gonna cost that much? I cant see why this couldn't be done for around half the cost of THF

Lets face it the suites at CW are garbage and its way too big for the CFL and lets not act like the running track doesn't make a difference.

Can somebody please explain this to me rather than just disagreeing with me. Im actually confused. Why would it be so much more than 3 other cities who have undergone the same project? why was Toronto,Hamilton and Ottawa able to do this for that 50-70M mark but not Edmonton? Im basically suggesting the same project Ottawa went through without any north side renovations. Actually it's almost completely identical to what they did to BMO accept the seats are on the bottom

anyway sorry if i offended anyone with my estimation,

Looks like the Argos will be getting thier own Logo on BMO? I could be completly out to lunch might just be brick or another TFC logo but I cant see them doing this without adding the argos or why wouldn't they have done it last season. Bmo is skimming along quite nicely

When you stand on that street corner it does feel imposing.
