- Start date
Nah, i actually didn't know that. Since i don't watch it on tv, plus i heard the Argos are getting less and less popular every yearOriginally posted by rony31
you know they do play football there too... the Argos
.But it doesn't matter what kind of stadium it will be, aslong as we get to see a world class action!

The CFL as a whole is getting less popular. Also I didn't think they could play in the Skydome because it has turf.

This is outstanding news, world class football coming to Canada!
I heard somewhere that Porto is also coming on the tour. Since Toronto has a massive Portugese population (I heard that there are 200,000 Portugese ppls in the GTA), I could see them playing at Skydome too.... Perhaps a Man Utd and Porto rematch at the Dome?
I wish a match like this would come to my hometown, Edmonton. We have the best outdoor stadium in the country, and have a natural grass field. We also drew 47,000 for U19 Women's World Championship. Yet, its obvious the big clubs don't have a massive following here as in Montreal or Toronto.

I am infact going to be in Toronto visiting relatives at that time so if the tickets are reasonable, I will certainy go to watch them play. Here ' s what is dissapointing though....by that time, there is a good chance that Tottii and Larsson will be at Stamford Bridge or maybe Nou Camp so they probably won' t be playing in that game...my cousins were ticked off cause they read in the local Toronto newspaper that the teams will be comming but the paper billed it as a collision between those two guys....they might not be there...Italians would show up none the less I am certain of that.
As far as the turf goes, there is something called sod I think is what it is called and they roll out that stuff onto the turf which is first covered with plastic to protect it. The sod is then flattened with a roller and babied for a few days to get it into prime condition. They did the same thing in Seattle when Celtic played Man United there....incidently the sod was given to the city of Seattle after the game. The capacity of the Sky Dome is almost the same as that of the stadium in Seattle so it should be a good one in terms of atmosphere.
ticketmaster will be offereing the tickets but world series soccer has some offer where you can sign up for 45 dollars CDN, and then get the tickets in advance. SO HEH!

Incidentally the site according to my cousins is championsworld....but it is down right now though! I expect tickets to be around 50 bucks CDN.
Oh no! I don't get to see Killie! At least i can watch semi world class action then.I' m sure that the folks in Toronto will have it on some soccer channel...maybe tape delayed though....some Italian channel could have it LIVE...my cousins say that they get to watch a lot of Serie A games on an Italian channel with English Commentary....don' t know if it is available in the US though ....ofcourse there is always FOX SPORTS world who might show it...they showed Celtic/United last year !
The championsworld site is up now buttickets are available to you a week ahead of March 31st and you must have signed up to be a member for a cost of 45 dollars US(not CDN as I thought) Anyways, you get a lotta different benefits if you do sign up besides tickets .... nothing free .....I just took a quick look !
I guess you could get tickets that are not particularly great for slightly lower prices...I had visited Toronto in 2000 and saw a Philly-Toronto baseball game for 17 dollars CDN. The seats were nice but we were left ducking from foul balls.
