No, it has nothing to do with our hockey team. LMAO. http://www.startcast.net/startcast4/displa...Windows&part=20 http://www.nba.com/raptors/news/PR_Mapleleaf_square.html <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Adjacent to the very successful Air Canada Centre, Maple Leaf Square will be the place to visit, play and stay for both Torontonians and tourists and will include both a fine dining and high-tech sports-themed restaurant, a sports and entertainment themed boutique hotel, two condominium towers, a music club, office space, a high-definition broadcast studio and a 170,000 square foot retail space anchored by a 9,000 square foot Leafs, Raptors and Marlies store. </div> Wow. It's gonna look great. I'd love to live in one of those co ndos.
Yeah, I watched the press conference this morning. Exciting idea. Hopefully this will help our chances at hosting the 2008 NBA All Star Game.
^If we're serious about it, I would think that they might build something around what was ever there or do something temporary for the all star game.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">TORONTO (AP) -- The Toronto Raptors withdrew their application to host the 2008 All-Star game on Tuesday and will submit an application to host the event in 2011. The team cited a timing conflict involving the 2008 game and the construction schedule for Maple Leaf Square, a new entertainment complex adjacent to Air Canada Centre that is expected to be completed in 2009. </div> Source
I don't get this. Would it mean the Raptors would play in this Maple Leaf Square? if they aren't going to, why is this revelant? The ACC isn't that old...
no^ the raptors wont play at maple leafs square, the maple leaf square is for tourist/torontonians that want a place to go to b4 or after a game
the raptor and leaf players would probably live in the complex but i wouldn't if i could afford it. too much noise, plus if and when the leafs ever win the stanley cup it would be so trashed!!!
I dion't think it would make much impact on our bid, but it would certainly make for a better All Star Game. And by that time, I'll be mroe on my feet...so I can afforrd tix to the game......I hope..Sprite Zone, here I come.
