Trillium Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Will the win in Vancouver mean that federal money will not flow to the Toronto area for a new stadium ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimglow Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 The thought occured to me as well, and it tears me in two as a person...I am thrilled as a Canadian that the Olympics are coming, but on the other hand I am so passionate about soccer that I view anything that threatens its growth in this country as the enemy... But I've resolved to get behind these games no matter what, even if it costs Toronto a stadium. The issues may well be separate, since the Argos absolutely need a new place in order to succeed, and the CSA needs a stadium in Southern Ontario...

hamiltonfan Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 The Provencal and Federal government are each putting 250 million dollars in to the Commonwealth games for Hamilton in 2010. They are going to build a new soccer/football stadium and other new facilities. Will they Federal government still be able to give that kind of money with the Olympics the same year?? www.cpsl.ca www.hamiltonthunder.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachesl Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Hamilton has even less chance now to win the Commonwealths from New Delhi. By the way, where are the opening ceremonies of the Vancouver Olimpics supposed to be held. Can't see BC Place, because it's covered. Any chance that Swanguard or some other soocer-suitable stadium might be engrandized?

Jarrek Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 quote: Will the win in Vancouver mean that federal money will not flow to the Toronto area for a new stadium ? I don't think so. Even if Toronto does get a 30,000 seat soccer stadium in 2-3 years, it should be still capable of holding Olympic events such as soccer for any future Olympics Toronto might obtain.

No chance in hell of Swangard getting enlarged. It's built in a city park and the city of Burnaby don't want to lose any more park space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
