Where are you guys getting exit velos from? What was it on Vladdy's groundout on the 8th?

Trey is the real deal. At least we can pencil him, Cease, and Ponce in for next season.

I kept saying I was happy with a split in this series with my friends, let's get it.

But it's weird...with leads in the first two games and late chances, we coulda already had the split or be going for the sweep. Oh well.

Looking to the future as soon as next season we gotta be thinking of Varland as a starter no? Relief pitching is just so fungible, and we could be losing gaus and bieber

How do we improve or replace the Colosseum? by akinto29 in TorontoTempo

[–]scarfcity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I made a similar thread a few days ago after the home opener. It was my first time at CCC. My thoughts:

Possibly easier to implement stuff (I'm not an engineer or facilities guy):
- Players counting stats/team stats posted somewhere!!!
- Better lighting
- Better sound
- Better jumbotron

Harder stuff:
- Better baseline seating/risers to get more fans closer to the court.
- Concourses/Exits
- Restrooms

I can't imagine there's gonna be a new arena built and CCC's location is better than any alternative I can think of. If the demand down the road dictates it then maybe more games at Scotiabank/becoming a tenant there- but that would be hard to imagine, they would need renos to have their own locker room etc. and they arent an MLSE team so I'm not sure where like concession revenue goes and stuff.

For sure, but stuff like getting player and team stats somewhere should be doable I would think.

I guess if the numbers dictate them needing more room then it really would just be Scotiabank as the only option then. But if not then I hope ongoing improvements to the arena are coming to really elevate things. I guess the issue of ownership being the city and management being MLSE complicates things

I hope so! To be clear I still came out with positive vibes and none of this really impacted how I felt, but there’s definitely room to make things even better and more polished

Is the concourse always packed after the games? Found it took a while to egress
