What a completely underwhelming, uninspired, obsolete looking building. This looks like it was designed 50 years ago and is lacking on many fronts - partial cover for the stands, the visibility of the east-west walls (I liked the idea of the brick - instead of Rick Zamperin's "the Fenway Park of the CFL" moniker we could use "the Wrigley Field of the CFL"), the almost complete lack of a concourse that allows for seating, merchandise, TVs, and so on...

I am sad to see that we're pissing away $100M on this. Why we can't have something that looks modern is beyond me. Why we couldn't get a better location like the west harbour is beyond me. Why we can't get something nice is beyond me.

I had been seriously considering seasons tickets up until the way the team handled the stadium placement. My dad and me (who have been going to 5-6 games a year for the past 10 years) were just so turned off on their thumbing their collective noses at the city and the residents and fans, just put us over the edge. This year we bought 1 flex pack and a single ticket and are going to 3 games total. I am just so disappointed in the mismanagement of this stadium placement soap opera that I don't know if I will go to any games once they move in.

Not to mention that if they consider .500 football a 'win' they have some serious problems!
