Right on Freddie! I'm a huge sports fan but I hate to see sports teams use/steal taxpayers' funds just so they can play in modern comfortable stadiums/arenas. BMO is the latest example as is Rogers Centre which took 750 million to build but was later sold to Rogers for 25 mil. What a joke! I thank God Toronto didn't get the Olympics. We would have been paying that one off into the next century. Just ask Vancouver how they feel about getting the 2010 Olympics now.

KIND OF IRONIC THAT THEY BUILD THIS NEW STADIUM ON THE SITE OF THE OLD CNE STADIUM
HMMMMMMMMMMM

I do agree that public money should not be spent to build a private business
But this facility was originally supposed to house
The Argos and the Toronto FC
It is also the home of he FIFA U21 World Cup this summer
And that is going to be a huge event for the Tourist starved Toronto
Instead of always looking at the glass as half empty in this city with anything that is not hockey related lets look at it has half full
Barks did you ever sit in the old exhibition stadium
It was a horrible place to watch anything except a concert I would not even consider going to watch Toronto FC if I had to watch it at the old EX stadium
But I will definitely go and watch them at the BMO place
With out his stadium there is no Toronto FC and no Under 21 world cup
some would say that is a good thing
But as an avid football(soccer) fan I think this is going to be good for the city of Toronto

As far as the Vancouver olympics go, they didn't ask THEN. I was living there.
Plus it;s actually the Vancuover/Whister games, and I'm pretty sure no one asked Whister anything at all.
As I remember ( and I could be wrong) 53% of Vancouver approved of the Olympics.
...and yes thank goodness that Toronto did not get the Olympics.
...and yes it's disgusting we pay for stadiums with tax money.

Right on Jason/Argie
Let's get a Montreal opinion. Have we payed of 1976 yet?
As for Calgary, it was a buried cost, as it became a national training centre, so good use was made of all the left over facilities. What are we going to do with the same facilities 10 hours away? Maybe we can send our homeless out to Calgary!
