The pitch was terrible. The Grey Cup caused noticeable damage and late November is hardly an ideal time to be restoring it. Both teams looked to have issues with it, but since Seattle was looking to play a physical, shut-down type of game, it worked to their favour.

The noises being made by CFL people are interesting. They have a vested interest in seeing this stadium sharing work out. The Argos have had a disastrous first season at BMO Field and are likely to do even worse at the gate next season.

With BMO Field primarily a soccer stadium, it heightens the issue of whether it's worth it to MLSE to have a wobbling football franchise share a stadium with a clearly thriving soccer team. There's no doubt that TFC have a bright future ahead. If the pitch conditions are negatively affected in future, then it stands to reason it might hamper TFC's ability to recruit more talented players.

The CFL has a bit of a worry on its hands. No wonder their players are commenting.
