MLSE vice president of facilities and entertainment Wayne Zronik said that MLSE wants the team at BMO Field, but that negotiations continue to drag.
“The Argos deal continue to move slowly, but ultimately we hope they can play here,” he told a group of MLSE part-time and game day employees that were gathered at the annual “Welcome to BMO Field” event at the stadium. CSN was informed of his statement by staff attending the event.
Staff were also told that the stadium will sit 25,000 for Argos games, which is 5,000 seats less than capacity for TFC games.
The event is ongoing. We will update if more information becomes available.
