New Tailgate lot announced in Toronto!!!

Postby ping on Fri May 21, 2010 8:50 am

Our first lot is a new building.Our second lot is now a big hole in the ground.Loads of new restaurants have opened near the stadium.
Since Garry died the numbers have been dwindling more and more.One game we had no more than 10 people.
There is hope.Our original original lot at the base of Reece st is still there.It was the p3 Habourfront lot on Queens Quay I beleive, right next to the beer store. A 5 minute walk to the dome.
Should we try 1 more time????????? Maybe all meet in the back west corner like 1996!

Dave, I think the Rees/Queen's Quay lot is a good idea. It is actually closer to the Dome. You do have the beer store right there too.

I agree, That looks like a decent spot.

More visible which might have more people come. Will have to see how it goes!

I won't be there until the home opener

Looks like a good spot. Close to the 'Dome, and with the new aforementioned public jiffy, that should be a boon as well. :thup:

Didn't you guys always get hassled at that site?

I hope this works out, but FYI, I parked in there last night for a concert and there is a prominent sign right at the entrance saying something like "THIS IS NOT A LICENSED FACILITY - NO ALCOHOL ALLOWED."

(just like every other parking lot, of course, but you don't see this sort of sign very often.)
I helped pay for it, I'm calling it "Skydome."

Is there no out of the way lots just to the west/North of the Dome? All restaurants and Bars east of it along Front, but west there used to be some small lots I used to park at before I started tailgating.

There appears to be Lots along Wellington St west of Spadina, just west of the School Of Professional Makeup, using Google Satellite view. No farther a walk then York + Bremner. Another just west of Front + Draper I've used before.

I agree with Shayman, we'll probably get hassled if they went to all the trouble of putting up that sign.

Then again, is there any Live Attendants anywhere near the Lot or are there just Pay Machines?
