Paint me skeptical of this guy. He has "broken" two unconfirmed developents in less then 24hrs, plus apparently is confirming that they are getting 55s here? Could certainly be right, but as a hockey fan in the digital age, you learn not to trust anybody but the most trusted. Far more 'Eklunds'...

The city should, and better draw a line on this project. There is no reason to do a terrible facade job on a pre-war high rise when there is so much other garbage throughout the downtown core. How about building it on that parking garage on the north end of the site? Or tearing one of our many...

You mean the train shed? Unfortunately, it cannot be torn down as it is apparently a heritage structure. Instead, a green roof will be added with a glass portion in the centre of the structure: Source: The City of Toronto, Union Station Revitalization.

^^^^ It is downright remarkable how you keep finding these different places to get a different angle on the skyline. Great picture, as always.

Hovercraft races? Your thinking too small! I demand naval battles!:p Source: www.wesclark.com

What an utter waste of time and money. So let me get this straight... these shark fins are still legal in Vaughan? in Mississauga? in Oakville? in Burlington? in Markham? Now, if I really had a craving for this, could I not just drive 30 minutes and buy some? If these city councilors feel so...

http://ballparks.phanfare.com/2414177#imageID=38713675 (scroll down) Dated May 1987. The current marquee is rather new. I don't mind it being taken down and replaced as long as the new one is for 'Maple Leaf Gardens', not 'Ryerson University.' The marquee in the render is rather disgusting.

Has the potential to be a real beauty.

If they want to build cheap, let me show them some land in North York or Mississauga they can build on. I understand that every building cannot be a marvel, but this is a very prominent location and the least the developer owes the city is to put some damn effort into the design for once.

Is this the render?:confused: http://www.westonconsulting.com/project_fitzsimmons.aspx

I'm all for this project. With Aura a block and a half away at 70+ stories, I don't believe 58 stories is out of line for this project, however if I were the city I would sit down with Lanterra and make several things clear. Reiterate to them that this is Yonge Street in midtown Toronto, not...

For the record, Forbes should not be used as a rock solid source. Many owners of pro sports teams have criticized Forbes' analysis and numbers in the past, including Washington Capitals and Wizards owner Ted Leonsis...

Because they had less franchises then the NFL and MLB? No North American pro sports league has expressed any desire to expand anytime soon, and that view doesn't seem to be changing. All I am asking is for some other posters to be. I've outlined why I don't think private money can be...

Your comparing a 25-team NBA to a 32 team NFL? What makes you think that the NFL wants to expand? What makes you think that you can steal away a team from someone else? Numerous flaws in Ford's plan have been pointed out several times in this thread. Great! Let's get started! You do have...

A quick check of Solidiers Field website doesn't paint a very pretty picture. Only 11 events between now and September 17th. Of those events, 7 are charity events, meaning the amount of revenue being generating is at the very least questionable. Two are soccer games, of which we have BMO Field...

The NFL has considerably more strict ownership laws then the NHL and MLB. The OTPP and Rogers are not allowed to purchase a team per NFL bylaws. In the case of Toronto, you really do only have one example of a large stadium being built in recent memory and that is Rogers Centre. Fair or not...

In the words of Bender from the TV show Futurama, "HAHAHA... oh wait... your serious.... let me laugh even harder.... HAHAHAAHAHAHA!" Forbes estimates that the least expensive NFL team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, is worth $725 million. As dbailey mentioned, recent top of the line NFL stadiums...

Maple Leaf Gardens was built with private money. The Air Canada Centre was built with private money. The potential owners (if there are any) are more then welcome to do the same. That $1 billion+ could be spent in much better ways. It seems like yesterday that the Fords made a fuss about a $23...

Nothing?

To chase away the bums that like to sleep on the benches?:p
