Spectator Sport's in Canada

Jenny and Tony took us to See The Toronto Raptors v Detroit Pistons. The Raptors won.

27 May 2011. Blue Jays v White Sox at the Rogers Centre. This was the second of a 4 game series over the weekend. The games are tied at one each. This match ended with a 4-2 win for the Blue Jays.
03-Feb-11 Toronto Maple Leafs versus Carolina Hurricanes at the ACC. The Leafs won 3-0. This was my 3rd Leafs game courtesy of Domino. 'Go-Leafs-Go'. (Photo by Graig Abel/NHLI via Getty Images).
Unfurling a 125 by 200 foot Canadian flag weighing 900 kilograms at the Ivor Wynne Stadium before the start of the 2010 Grey Cup CFL semi-final between Hamilton Tiger Cats and Toronto Argonauts. The Argos won 16-13. Watching the Toronto Argosnauts versus Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the CFL on 1-Aug. The Rogers centre is a great stadium. They just need to fill it with spectators.This has to be one of the best views from a football ground any where in the world. A view of down town Toronto from the west stand of BMO Field Stadium. This match was a cup game sponsored by Carlsberg between Toronto F.C. and a team from Mexico.Possibly more impressive than the view of the Toronto skyline is the beer terrace behind the goal. Can you imagine having that at Stamford Bridge? "BMO Field, probably the best football ground in the world". We went to see the Toronto Marlies in Dec-07. The Marlies are a feeder team to the Toronto Maple Leafs who play in the NHL. It's a good afteroon out and not too expensive unlike watching the Maple Leefs lose which is neither good fun nor inexpensive. The Marlies play at the Ricoh Coliseum.
