Build a stadium and the team will come? That makes me think of the construction of the (now-named) Tropicana Dome in St. Petersburg. Agreed, it has a tenant now (the Rays), and has had them for over 15 years, but the place did little more than tractor pulls for 10 YEARS while waiting for MLB. Maybe things were different back then, or maybe they're different in Toronto. Who knows? I just can't imagine ANY investor, no matter how deep the pockets, forking out the money to build a state-of-the-art 65,000-seat NFL stadium and then being content to sit back and wait a decade for a tenant. Add to that - to echo many comments on this board - the fact that Toronto hasn't really cottoned on to either the Argos or the Bills (when they had them, and, yeah, I know they sucked up there but it WAS an NFL team), and I just can't imagine that sports business model ever seeing the light of day.
