Shootouts suck, but man....Delgado had it. I had the scream halfway out.
I read that FIFA requires 45k+ to host games. Any truth to this? 7 years to upgrade BMO or build a new stadium? Maybe we get an NFL stadium? *cross fingers*
They are saying BMO is definitely the venue, for the record.
and it sounds like the plan for now is the increased seating will be temporary.
just looking at the candidate stadiums and i have no clue how toronto can host with such a small venue
i think edmonton is the second smallest at 58k
It would be by far the smallest venue, but I think you would just live with it and would presumably give it the least popular matchups. With 48 teams in the tournament, you've got a lot of games to fill. Pretty sure they'll plan it so that teams like Italy, the US, France, etc... get games in the larger stadiums, and Toronto will get like Panama vs Tunisia.

The current expectation from what I've read is that Canada will be given an automatic spot as a host nation, and I'd imagine the Canadian stadiums get the games from that group.
Any chance we don't suck by then?
