something doesn't sound right.
then again the building is outdated by major league basebal's standards- it's really only a good venue to promote concerts and special events. Still, 25 Million is so low...

It's amazing, I was reading a while back that the skyboxes were on 10 year leases back in 92 so in 2002 they came due. Fucking 50-75% of the companies did not renew their boxes, plus obviously the raptors moved over to the ACC with the leafs. So huge revenues were lost and very little happens at the skydome except for the odd concert, huge convention or the jays.
It's sad because in 1992 that place was considered the stadium of the future. People used to go on class trips just to get tours of the building itself. I remember them saying if you flushed all the toilets in the skydome at the same time you would have the amount of water flowing over niagra falls for 8 seconds. DH |

even the argos were trying to rebuild varsity stadium. nobody wants anything to do with the skydom. But it does look great when you're driving by on the gardener express way.

The place is a bottomless whole , a huge money lossing venue. Why do yo think they sold it so cheap? They are probably laughing their asses off having found a sucker to pick up the place. I would bet in a few years they will be begging the public for funds to bail them out

Definitely the Steal of the Century, when you consider the story goes that Paul Godfrey helped influence then Premier Bill Davis to build the SkyDome at a cost of $600 million of taxpayers money in the hope that it would attract an NFL Franchise to Toronto. Later on Premier Bob Ray unloaded the SkyDome for $100 million and now Paul Godfrey is back in the picture as head of the Toronto Blue Jays division of Rogers, who reportedly are trying to buy the Dome for $25 million. Way to go Paul! Don't think Toronto is quite ready for the NFL yet. Maybe it's time to build another Super Dome! Get Dennis McGuinty to loosen up the purse strings.
