Bought my Cat tix on Monday; looking forward to the game. Having attended the Celtic/Benfica match at BMO Field this summer, I was very impressed with the compact footprint of the stadium as well as the over-all design. A similar design would be great near our waterfront. Also, considering the hill from Bay St. down to Tiffany St., it would be cool to have the east stands built into the slope allowing street level restaurants on Bay St. with boxes or seating overlooking the field. The building of a velodrome could start a new interest in competetive cycling in our area. For anyone who doesn't get it, look at the history of Madison Square Gardens in NYC. A Madison is an endurance bike race held on an oval track. This sport was highly popular in the years before the infernal combustion engine led (ultimately) to NASCAR. Real men (and women, of course) use leg power, not hiding inside a fume spewing moving billboard!(IMHO). There is so much potential in this opportunity, I just hope the decision makers don't %$#@ it up too badly.
