wallflower Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Orlando had a lot of errors and several clear misses on net. Imagine if they had not had these errors and misses: slaughter. Given preseason game stats for Orlando, predicting a MTL win would have been reasonable. Under pressure, MTL needs Camacho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing ZBG isn't 100% after last years late season injury. ZBG was a beast last year, he struggles whenever he plays 2 games in 7 or 3 in 10 but otherwise is solid both sides of the ball.

The ones who did were 0-4 and outscored 7-0. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad_Impact Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) https://www.985fm.ca/nouvelles/sports/466622/un-stade-saputo-ameliore-couterait-entre-75-m-et-100-m Stadium renovations to stade saputo would cost 75-100 million. Seems like a waste to renovate that stadium because the land would still not be owned by Saputo, and is still in a less than ideal location away wealthier parts of the city. Plus all the structural problems to expanding it mentioned in the article... I know it's a lot easier said than done and there is A LOT of politics, but build a modern stadium downtown and make it expandable for the world cup in 2026. If the big O doesn't need to be renovated than surely the city will have no problem hosting. It would really solve so many problems for this team Edited March 3, 2022 by Chad_Impact Metro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the article Saputo apparently has said he's willing to shell out the cash for the renovations. Another 200-300 million and you're there. I'm wondering if the city or province would be willing to put some money into it if the 2026 bid could be included.

If the big O doesn't need to be renovated than surely the city will have no problem hosting. It would really solve so many problems for this team I am not a civil engineer or an architect, but it always stuck me that Stade Saputo was built in such a way that it makes it difficult to expand. For example, they added the canopy but it was built right into the structure and the structure is one level of seating . So there is no upper deck. Whereas for BMO, for example, the canopy is a standalone structure. Another thing that they did is that they surrounded the stadium with seats and that's good because there few gaps of open space. But at the result is that there is no upper deck. No upper deck means that the position of the TV cameras is not good for the TV viewers. The viewing angles and sightlines for TV games at SS makes the game look less professional. PS.: Listening to the interview now. They say the stadium is not winterized. What's interesting is that Saputo has to pay municipal taxes (which keep increasing) on the the stadium and yet he doesn't own the stadium or control anything on the stadium. Its owned by the Olympic installations board (OIB or RIO in french) Edited March 4, 2022 by Free kick costarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saputo got a bad deal from the city, he expected to develop a better relationship with the city and province along with investors/partners, but it never materialized. It's quite unfortunate.

Its owned by the Olympic installations board (OIB or RIO in french) There are a lot of stadium’s in the EPL for example that have no upper deck and actually look similar in design to Saputo stadium . I’ve never felt the games look less professional from watching games on TV from those EPL stadiums than I do watching watching on TV from Saputo. Now in terms of location and the kind of deal Saputo got from the city I agree it’s unfortunate. A brand new stadium right downtown would of course be great , however, the only stadium that might one day go downtown and the city will probably bend over backwards for is a baseball stadium if they ever got their MLB team back .Remember this is still Canada and we may be in 2022 but soccer at times is still treated like a second class citizen in this country compared to the ingrained other sports with baseball being one of them.

BearcatSA Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Just saw the highlight and this is NOT a good team at playing out of the back under pressure. The second and fourth NYCFC goals were just awful to concede. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
