Thanks again for the clarification. Didn't refer to the mockups. Was just blue-skying year-round multi-use based on what might be a misread of
this story. If the facility is only able to host events May-October, that definitely changes the picture.
Copps may be a better home for a lacrosse team, true. Seems like it has something to offer. Better numbers than the ABA, anyway.
(And yes, I know that lacrosse is a different sport than basketball.)
About pro rugby I don't know much, frankly. Seems like something that might be limited to one-off events, like university football's Vanier Cup. The lure for amateur teams (secondary/post-secondary included) would be that it's a low-cost or no-cost proposition. I guess it comes down to the business model/facility policies for the stadium.
