@KevinVuongxMP @oliviachow At 7 pm? The heat broke about 6:30 pm, when a cooler breeze came in.

It was 27°C at kickoff for the Portugal game. Even cooler for the Switzerland game.

City merely had to cancel viewing for the early game. What next, do they start closing city parks?

@StephenWickens1 It's a very dull, boring, non-intuitive name. Seems like another waste of taxpayers money.

Politicians never cease to amaze me.

@24thminute 64-team World Cup! 🤣

I wonder if Italy would qualify ...

[Nicholas Fitzpatrick @N_FitzpatrickTO]

@AlexanderGlista @Metrolinx Have we even had any really humid days yet this summer?

[Nicholas Fitzpatrick @N_FitzpatrickTO]

@mbs59er I guess then the USA is like Italy?

[Nicholas Fitzpatrick @N_FitzpatrickTO]

@fifamedia @TicketTalkNet @FIFAWorldCup There's 104 matches, and you are cancelling only 60 tickets? That's less than one a game.

Surely it would have been better advertising and use of the money just to publicize that you goofed, and they got a free ticket!

[Nicholas Fitzpatrick @N_FitzpatrickTO]

@straczynski I'm not sure about that editor though. 😀

[Nicholas Fitzpatrick @N_FitzpatrickTO]

@RudiSchuller CFL field shrinks?! I missed that!

Wow a real stadium!! Too bad about the winter weather.

[Nicholas Fitzpatrick @N_FitzpatrickTO]

@RudiSchuller Forgot that.

Do you know what the long-term north plan is - I don't think I've seen a rendering.

I was surprised that the walkway around was concrete - but I think all the seating is temporary. Presumably the boxes are permanent?

The 200s would go, but the 100s?

@JonFraserTF Hey @dasroconsulting - one of your employees is making racist comments.

[Nicholas Fitzpatrick @N_FitzpatrickTO]

@DylanJanson4 @24thminute It might have the effect of stopping some of the time-wasting - especially in extra time.

@richardwarnica At the age of almost 80, is Arbour really looking for a full-time job? It sounds perfect to me!

[Nicholas Fitzpatrick @N_FitzpatrickTO]

@idiffidatiTFC Hopefully!

[Nicholas Fitzpatrick @N_FitzpatrickTO]

@straczynski Some cutting humour there! 😀

[Nicholas Fitzpatrick @N_FitzpatrickTO]

@ijajt_ @azevedojason @24thminute Other than a Skydome, using a very flawed Yankee-stadium like configuration.

The pitch doesn't need to be worse than Seattle, Vancouver, and Montreal games in the Big O at that time of year.

[Nicholas Fitzpatrick @N_FitzpatrickTO]

@ijajt_ @azevedojason @24thminute Normally it means making sure the plumbing doesn't freeze. Comfort isn't happening in this type of stadium.

If we want to spread games out better with the new schedule (rather than having games every March/April/May weekend) they need to find a way to play Nov/Feb at Skydome.

[Nicholas Fitzpatrick @N_FitzpatrickTO]

@djcuse Fear not - it always picks up when it gets warmer ...

... oh, hang on.

[Nicholas Fitzpatrick @N_FitzpatrickTO]

@martyn_bailey Only assuming that in the long-run, that reduced demand doesn't reduce the original ticket pricing.

[Nicholas Fitzpatrick @N_FitzpatrickTO]

@martyn_bailey There'll be ups and downs. Not sure we'll see less very cheap tickets available, as both season ticket holders and "resellers" will want to dump tickets they can't resell.

At the same time, I think it would reduce season-ticket sales with average fans. This should lower pricing.
