I was under the impression that this was happening (minus the CSA training facility which they seem to be shopping around in York Region).

The wording makes it sound like they don't want to build it with private money only They have their hand out. The CEO of Woodbine says "Time for the appropriate authorities to recognize this opportunity & support it." Support it = fund it.

Not knowing enough about the ins and outs of this project, could he also be referring to things like zoning? I imagine a project this would would have some administrative, legal and regulatory hurdles, beyond the obvious financial ones.

Unnamed Trialist Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Has anyone posted the web link for the company being run by Rob Friend and Shillington? I finally took a look and must say, pretty good. At least promising. https://sixfivestadiums.com/ narduch, Aird25 and Ansem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to guess they are supposed to build the York United stadium at Woodbine race track if that ever gets off the ground.

I think it was a Spanish company that built it, and I believe SixFive Stadiums started afterwards.

At least promising. https://sixfivestadiums.com/ Vancouver might get the 5000 seat design to start while York United will get the 7500 design (same as Saskatoon) - of course, they'll be personalized to look different but I expect the skeleton to be fairly consistent. Those type of stadiums can be built very quickly, easy to expand and on the cheaper side. Edited February 9 by Ansem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Seems odd to think about the business angle. You'd think if they're overly profiteering then clubs would find other options. Of which many. But if they're doing it to facilitate the growth of the league and making deals sweet for clubs, it may be a great formula. I personally prefer poured concrete.

Kent Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Man I really hope York United does end up in a stadium like that. The current stadium isn't exactly inspiring, even if the location is pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
