No i have never heard of 'Toronto Waterfront'... unless your specifying the 46 kilometre span between the mouth of Etobicoke Creek in the west, and the Rouge River in the east. Yeah its a nice bike ride.
But i have heard of Waterfront Toronto....Buddy stop behaving like a chessy and EARN your grades child !
You let me know if it states anywhere in the so called waterfront planning documents that a stadium can not be built into the mix.

The Ford's proposal was to put a football stadium and a bunch of american big box stores like Nordstrom (?!) on the site of the demolished Hearn station. That land directly in front of the Hearn station is Lake Ontario Park. The rest of the adjoining lands are part of a cohesive and carefully planned vision for the waterfront that includes intensive fine-grained urbanism, extensive parks networks, and the largest wetlands reconstruction ever undertaken in an urban area. The Hearn Station, though presently in private hands, has been earmarked as an iconic element, much like London's Tate Gallery, that is part of the overall vision for the waterfront.
Contrary to your views, the Portlands is not a cheesy wasteland upon which you can dump a bunch of big-box stores and suburban stadiums surrounded by parking lots.
