Haven't they played like friendly games between European clubs in there? |
Soccer stadium to be in Roger's centre?? NO WAY! Soccer field should be on its on. Make it a decent size to be able to hold about 80,000 |

80000?
LOL!
There are few stadiums in the world that has that sort of capacity. Certainly less than 10. |

u'd be surprised.

Well there's a difference between capacity and seats...
I'm guessing Yohan was reffering to actual seats...
Also, that stadium list, didn't just list soccer stadiums, but it had motor speedway capacities and other stuff like that..
But there is no way we could ever fill an 80,000 arena w/ soccer fans. |

Ok maybe i went a little overboard.... :) however there is way more than 10 that have a capacity of 80,000.
Something that seats 35,000 - 40,000 would be very sufficient. And I personally prefer, and think it would be nicer to have a stadium with the seating covered. But again budget comes into play :D |

"all-seater" = capacity based on seats.
He said stadiums, not Soccer stadiums...just pointing it out buddy.
"we" probably couldn't fill it though...you're right about that...or maybe for a one time soccer event, but definitely not consistently.
However, there are probably more soccer fans in the city than baseball fans, and when the jays were in the World Series (consecutively) they sold out each time. |

I was talking about football specific stadium.
I'm not sure if Toronto FC can fill in 40,000 on consistent basis. I mean that's twice the capacity of BMO field right now.
I believe avg. stadium capacity for English premier league is around 30,000-32,000 or something like that. |

Definitely not.
Toronto has shown they that only support winning teams (besides the Leafs, but if they continue to miss the playoffs for several more years, you might see their fan base drop.)
You can see that w/ Baseball, Basketball, Football...when we start losing, fans stop coming.
Give Toronto FC another year or two before the excitement starts wearing off and the fanbase drops...unless they are doing well.
Toronto fans like to jump on the bandwaggon when things are going well...and could give two s if were loosing... |
