In Region about a drive from Georgetown was a good Idea But then I decided to take an Al approach to the situation and 1 ve changed my Is that guy who used to do the social commentaries on Saturday Night Live who had a talent for reducing the most important and complex of modem time down to one simple ve He would simply ask himself What does this mean to So what does a dome stadium In Region outside of Georgetown mean to Franken The thing I hate most about going to Blue Jay and Argo games at Stadium is leaving after the game The congestion that results from Inadequate parking and transit routes is enough to keep even the most ardent fan away from the park at home In front or the tube According to a submission from Region tejhe provincial Stadium Study Commit tee there are virtually no space constraints accommodation for 13 vehicles The urn Site is located between two major freeway corridors Highway and he with eight freeway lanes leaving the stadium via routes and According to the submission more than fans who will arrive at stadium in their cars for a major sporting event will be out of the parking lot and on heir way home within one hour AlCNESladium it takesan hour just walk from lie park the nearest parking lot Again I ask you what does all this mean to Al It means major league sports in Toronto In southern Ontario has finally hit the big time We can have tallgate parties at the games So much of big league sports is the surround ing atmosphere There is no better example of a marketing success built around an image than the National Football League Big stadiums big crowds big betting International media exposure and tall parties Hove you ever seen a decent tailgate party complete with a ghettoblaster and cooler full of beer at the CNE There are some wrinkles I know According to the submission both the and the Hamilton Tiger Cats would play their home games out of be Stadium AreyouklddlngThatsbushleague Keep the double blue get rid of Ballard boys Better still get rid of Marc Lalonde and the federal Liberal government Then we can get rid of both the and the and bring the NFL Into Toronto Let s get back to the topic on hand though Why does want to see the new um bull in Hal on rather than on the lake front in Toronto I put It to you Al why not The provincial government is paying theshot anyway Joe Taxpayer in Halton will share the financial burden with his Toronto neighbors whether they build this thing in Metro In our back yard or In North Bay per the thought Of course the proposal doesn t pretend to estimate how much this oversized greenhouse is going to cost It Just suggests the funds should come from Lollarlo Win tar the Board of Industrial Leadership and Development the sale of adjacent provlnclollyowncd land ticket surcharges and other government nesteggs But I can put this on an even more immediate level though What a dome stadium In means to me Al is press credentials This stadium would provide this small town sports editor with a golden opportunity o witness approximately toplevel sporting events live from comfort of he press box That what it all means to Free clinic at North Halton ByJOANSHAPCOTT Herald correspondent We are

Greeks In defending both their re gular season champion ship and the league crown have shown themselves to be much more than a star quart and two or three receivers The fact is they play every inch of game expertise from some of best flag men In the league In Dan Reynolds Frank Mlcedcnzkl Bill Rivers and Dean Scallen to the clutch receptions from receivers like Wayne and Linus Paul and Slave Peace Ever In an overlook area like putting pressure on quart Mark and John are among the best And if that enough they still had wizardry of Rick Bald win throwing to Marvel loua Mark Russell James Allen
