SkyDome Trouble July 1986

[BBQFanNo1]

I still call it the Skydome. I'm sick of every Hockey Arena and New Baseball Stadium called "Centre" Fck Air Canada Centre. It should be called the Air Canada Maple Leaf Gardens. The Molson Centre should be called the Molson Forum. The stinken greedy American Corps started calling everything this Centre and Field crap. They still call Yankee Stadium and Dodger Stadium by their original names. The Most Title Winning Teams in the NHL should always be called by their Original Names.Fck Corp Americ

[allytron]

I can't tell if I'd bang this woman or not. She's quite interesting looking.

Skydome is so fuckin' shit!!!

[C1TeamMidNight]

This place should still be called SkyDome. I walk by it almost weekly - a part of my childhood was lost when they renamed it.

Thalia Assuras=Nick Kypreos' cousin

Nick Kypreos fucked Good Morning America's Joan Lunden (well-known if you were in NYC around '94)

White elephant stadium=Still there

If we waited just 5 more years we coulda had a retro dome=Camden Yards+roof =Safeco or the ones in Milwaukee and Houston

But we didn't and despite being the epicentre of baseball excellence in 1992 and 1993, people said our stadium would be abandoned.

But we're BACK BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dig that '80's hair!

[shnorth888]

I liked the area better when it was a CN Rail yard

[mccarthy155]

[leafyutube]

[MrToad321]

[MikeForbess]

Does anyone know what font the CityPulse logo is?

[CantBeatCurtis]

@MikeForbess probs arial

[andrewmorrison85]

@MikeForbess No, but if I stumble upon it in my library of fonts I'll be sure to contact you. Just send me a private message to remind me!

[truthmongeror]

There was public support from day one, even after the Montreal stadium fiasco. The attitude was go big or go home and with tax dollars. The jays were playing in a piss poor venue and would have packed up for Miami, which was what those tree huggers wanted. Kids you can't have fun when people are starving. Yes taxpayers got gouged, but they have been gouged just as much and more on tree hugging crap too. Like Montreal timing was poor. Same bunch tried to stop the ACC too.

[mcref]

yah that chick wants it for concerts so she can go see flock of seagulls.

[leafyutube]

The stadium was given a wrong name. It should have been called the Con-Dome.

[Prussiasfinest]

I think its amazing that the GO trains look the same

[saintpk]

this is the day i was born =D

[Buskieboy]

Public= $400million 1993 (cost +debt)

Sold to Interbrew for $150 Million (!!!!) in 1994

Dome under bankruptcy protection 1998

Bought out of bankruptcy protection for $85 million by Sportsco International

And finally in 2004 Rogers (evil empire)buys it for $25 Million....4% of what it cost to build it!!!!! Ya think they'd leave the name.....

Man were WE suckers.

[skunkworks226]

@Buskieboy its not rogers fault

[Buskieboy]

@skunkworks226 No it's not. The bastards that sucked us into building it and paying for it were. What pissed me off is that Rogers, in it's evil way, couldn't at least continue the history and leave the name SkyDome. They have to be megalomaniac and Brand it. Yes, it's their right as buyers, but Rogers has no soul.

[wiedep]

@Buskieboy miami is gonna beat that hands down, $2 billion worth

[jeffkahl]

meanwhile that "park land" has since turned into an area taken over by condos!

[nubbs]

1:55

oh, if only that were true

ps eyebrows at 2:17 can suck it

20 years and going baby! and a solid 5 years of being state of the art

long live the damp concrete box

[tehnik]

Well I don't think that anything the size of the SkyDome would ever be necessary in London...

[saugagirl83]

Well, almost everyone agreed the Dome was a good idea. Now all we have to do is get the name changed back to The Dome! Rogers Centre my ass!

[Tbaum77]

better for concerts?

if only they knew....

[simonizer888]

Nimbys suck! =oP

[tvlondon]

If it were in London, it would never have gotten built. The anti-development lobby would've made sure of it.
