BC Place renovations (prior to FIFA)

A Toronto home game in Winnipeg will be a big financial windfall for the Argos...

When was the last time BMO sold out?

It's not clear as far as I can tell about how that revenue will be shared, if at all. It may be a windfall for the actual stadium getting the extra game. Is it possible that the loss of home games to the visiting team is paid by the FIFA soccer transition cost?

We won't have a 2026 schedule for some time. So we won't know which games will have to be played elsewhere. Suggestions of moving to very small venues or rebuilding another temporary stadium at Empire will not be cost effective.

The simplest solution would be to play any game moved to the opponent stadium. It's just a matter of figuring out how to compensate the tame needing to move and who pays the bill.

I'd think flipping a 2nd game against that team to their stadium would create a balance. IE: Vancouver plays game 1 in Regina and game 2 in Vancouver as an example.

All of that could be part of creating the schedule sequence.

And why would the league do that?  That is wholly unfair to TOR.  Not only do they not get their home field advantage (as tiny as it is in that city), but if they played WPG they get punished with anti-homefield advantage!

Speaking as a Bomber fan, I fail to see the problem.

You'd have to look at it as a CFL fan.

I noticed when watching a replay of the Alouettes-Lions game last night that TSN has done its best to avoid showing the renovations to the press box area.

The entire lower press box and a portion of the upper press box are closed.

I found a short YouTube video shot from the opposite side of the field which shows the area affected.

Most of the media has been relocated to the auxiliary (baseball) press box on the left side of the screen.
 
I assume that TSN was bumped a couple of booths over. Other groups have been moved elsewhere and have to share a booth.

My group has been relocated to the wheel chair row in section 414 above the press box.
