I think it's a great looking arena as well. Not every building needs to be a Frank Gehry clone in titanium.

Pork Chop .. like it. As to the building, still not liking the rib over the street.

To me it looks like a #9, as in the number of cups we can expect in the next decade.

What are they protesting for? What is going to come out of it? The new ownership is gonna fold the franchise? Or put it up for sale? Stupidity

After reading the article, it's a bit silly to think the fans' only gripe is with the ground share.

The CFLPA caved pretty quickly last year, but with news like this they must surely be getting ready for collective bargaining armageddon in 2019. (Fun fact: the cap is going up by $450,000 this season. For the entire league combined.)
