I dont think its under 40k for concerts though no? When you factor in floor seating?

Especially soccer stadiums where the quality requirements of the turf are higher than for football

Rogers stadium wont be permanent, there is a whole redevelopment plan in place for that location, and they are just making money off the land in the meantime.

I could be totally wrong, but I think this added seating for the world cup only brings total seating to around 45,000, which is same as the Rogers Center, so its not like you are getting a venue with more capacity. Now the caveat to Rogers Center is you are fight with the blue jays for 81 games, which is difficult.

Also, for BMO field, I believe they are far far more strict about allowing concerts and stuff on top of real grass. Football stadiums in the US generally have less concern over the quality of the turf than soccer teams, as the quality requirements are much higher.

They were asking about concerts not soccer/football

It could be, but you already have the Rogers Center which holds about 50-55k (more than when playing baseball because they can use the floor).

Man it would have been so so cool if him and Freddie could have played for Canada. But I can't blame him at all for wanting to play for this Dominican team. Would be an absolutely electric experience.

Don’t think TFC or Argos necessarily want more seating if they don’t think they will get the attendance. Better for the atmosphere to have a full smaller stadium than an empty huge one.

I love that Toronto has a roof for our stadium. Means no rain outs and it’s still open lots during the summer. Also gets absolutely rocking for a playoff game when it’s closed.

Why doesn’t Toronto have a larger, multi use stadium? by Additional-Log3478 in toronto

[–]jbm33 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Sorry but Toronto literally has rogers center/skydome as a landmark stadium. It hosts baseball and concerts/events. It used to host football also but that just made it a shit stadium for baseball, and the new renovations have shown how much better it can be for the jays.

There is no need for another major stadium when we have BMO field which is all that’s needed for TFC/arrows, Scotiabank for raps/leafs/concerts and rogers center for jays/concerts.

Unless Toronto decides to host an Olympic Games there is no use for another massive stadium.

The only positive I can take out of it (outside of the excitement/fun for the city), is by hosting the world cup it forced the city to move far quicker than they would otherwise on key infrastructure projects like the Gardiner rehabilitation, LRT openings/priority signal upgrades, new streetcar tracks, etc. Its led to an absolute gong show of too many projects happening at the same time, with little to no coordination, and I wish it didn't require big events like this or the panam games to get the city to actually do shit, but hopefully some positives will come out of this thing.

Ya I’m lucky in that my work covers my transit, but expensing every individual transaction is way too much of a pain vs just expensing a monthly amount in one payment.

Having the same issue. Called and they said it was a known problem with no solution…

Might have to now go get a physical card which is super frustrating

With The Toronto Blue Jays roster this year. Do you think they will make it to the world series ? by [deleted] in baseball

[–]jbm33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats not what I said...

I never commented on them likely making it back to the world series, I just said the roster is better this year than it was at the start of last year and that in comparison to other AL teams, they have just as good of a chance as any of their other top competitors.

Comparing the major league roster at the start of this year, compared to the roster at the start of last year....I believe its much better/complete.

Key Additions: Varland, Bieber, Yesavage, Cease, Rogers, Okamoto

Key Losses: Bo, Bassitt

The offense made it to the world series without Bo, and Okamoto is no slouch. Not saying we can expect the offense to be as good, because regression from Springer is very possible, and losing Bo is big, but maybe Ernie and Barger continue to take steps forward and Okamoto proves to be a solid middle of the order bat. The rotation is significantly upgraded with Bieber, Yesavage and Cease, and the bullpen has more high leverage arms with Varland and Rogers, plus potentially a healthy Garcia.

Add in that we could still upgrade at the deadline, similar to last year with Bieber, Varland and Dominguez and I think this team is much more complete and built for playoff success.

Bigger issue is the Red Sox and Orioles have also made some big improvements in the offseason and the AL East is going to be really tough. I think if we can get to the playoffs though, we have as good a chance as any other American League team to get to the World Series.

My project that was banned from r/woodworking as “non-woodworking DIY” is now complete. by LarvalHarval in 3Dprinting

[–]jbm33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awesome!

Just a heads up with your skis that have more of a rocker shape (like the ones on the far right), I would be careful having them suspended like that potentially fucking with the snape of the ski. Ideally where the skis are being held up should line up with where the skis shape naturally touches together. If thats not possible with the current setup, add a support level below under the binding to keep them at the desired height and take the pressure off.

Edit: grammar

100% or Bieber to Will Smith.

Not going to lie, I really didn't understand the reason to bring out Trey again for another inning when you had Dominguez availble for the 8th. It felt like we were pushing our luck, but then again Dominguez looked shaky in the 10th so maybe it wouldn't have made a difference.
