| I'm wondering if the people that named it "Skydome" (from that contest long ago to name the new stadium) will no longer have lifetime tickets? |

This morning on BT they said that all these people's "contracts" will be maintained ;) |

The skydome was a great addition to our city. I do agree that the name is definitly better then "Roger's dome". I believe that most tourist book and other books that describe our city do mention the skydome as one of our important buildings. It's also important that they did not demolish the structure because of lack of funds. Therefore it is a good thing that Rogers bought the building. You do realize that our greatest landmark the "CN" Tower does mark a company's name.
I don't forsee the government ever building another landmark again. What else is there to build? I think the next great building will be all about how great and high tech we are a city. Of course it will be funded by a huge company. All new building will be built by companies from now on.
I hope companies do start buying into our public transportation. WE NEED a better transportation system. I want more stations to be built. |

You can't build better public transportation without density...Toronto's entire "design" is to have great neighbourhoods, lots of parks and green spaces, lots of private homes and properties...you can't have a great and effective, and money making public transport system with such design because there's simply not enough density to sustain it!
You can't have both unfortunately... |

Im not advocating a ban. Im saying its a very poor decision and smacks of arrogance. I dont like it. A lot of others don't either. And i don't think major landmarks should be arbitrarily renamed.
I wouldnt support legislation to force the name to be returned. What I want is Ted Rogers to come to his senses on his own! |

I would have settled for Rogers Skydome at least

But that name has been incorperated into the structure since the beginning. Plus the CN tower was a privately built enterprise.

Im all for a private transit system. |

I hear Toronto's population will be around 4 million in 2020 or something like that. Those nice parks will turn into parking lots if we don't do something about transportation now. |

I highly doubt that's true...besides Toronto keeps spreading north and east and west...wherever you look there are new housing developments taking place...problem is - same as before all boring suburbia - public transport will never work in such a situation. Now they are building more condos along Yonge St., primarily in North York...so maybe that will help. |
