Ford Wants NFL Team For Toronto

use the roger center... why build more

Too small and a terrible stadium for any sport, though it's better for football than baseball.

and also we would be looking more at a 60.000-80.000 seat stadium.

I said 40,000-60,000 as I figured there would be a good amount who would drive to said venue (obviously depending on where it was though).

Yeh, even if they spent multi-millions to somehow retro-fit the Dome it would still be at the low end for capacity. I always thought Downsview would be a good choice for a major facility- central to the GTA with public transit and the 401 right there.

You're not the first.
