Zero chance.

the ACC is in the best possible spot. Right downtown and a step away from union station...which half the arena uses...you don't even have to go outside.

The ice is fine I never hear NHL players actually complain about it to warrant a multi million dollar building that is in a poop spot.

Wouldn't it be more ideal to move the Raptors and keep the Leafs at the hangar? I mean, location's prime and they are the prime sports franchise in the city.

HEY! I used to play ball hockey at the Hangar! Yeah, it's pretty bad.

But if they're gonna spruce it up and build an arena for the Leafs, it could turn into a decent place.

I played soccer there too back in the day - it was fun, but hella expensive!

I know and understand that it won't happen. I just don't agree with it.

And I know how prime of a spot the ACC is. And it makes complete sense to be where it is. I would just love a Leafs only arena.

Really? I've heard multiple players female dog about it trough the media alone. Never mind in person when they female dog about it.

This strengthens my arguement that the Leafs should have their own building.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

No it doesnt.
Cause money and cost strengthen the reason to keep them both (raps, leafs) in the same building.
Who gives a sh!t about the ice.

I completely agree.

Downsview Park is (frank)ing huge. Build the female dog there. Plus, they could make a gigantic parking lot and also run shuttle buses (or party buses) out to it.

Hell, build multiple places there for most sports teams. It wouldn't be a terrible idea.

Move the leafs from a perfect downtown location to sh!thole spot up north

I remember reading something a few years back about the SBA being the second busiest arena in NA, behind the Staples Center. Toronto could probably use another arena.

Ball hockey is annoyingly expensive.

And it makes no sense. You pay less for tier 1 than you do for tier 4.

Best part, though, was that the hockey pad was right beside the beach volleyball. So in between whistles you could just take a gander and see a bunch of beautiful women in bikinis.

What usually wakes me up in the morning is a paw in my face. If I somehow manage to resist that then it's followed up by a cold, wet nose on my eyelid. That doesn't bother me so much, it's the whiskers tickling my nose that gets me every time.

'Hey look - you're awake! Why don't you get up and feed me?'

It's really not.

Yeah, the location is prime where it already is, but the TTC still goes to the Downsview area. They could easily do shuttle/party buses. People could drive to it because they'd have an actual arena parking lot. It's not really "North". Yeah, it's more North than where it currently is, but it's not like it's out of the city.

Plus, there's seats in the ACC where you can't see the entire rink.

This is like building an arena in Kanata and wondering why nobody wants to go there.

If toronto were to ever get a second team, then for sure that could be the spot.
But it wont be for the leafs or raps. Downtown is perfect, they make so much there.
I agree, the city could use another arena for less traffic at the acc/sbc.
But the leafs and raps wont be moving.

Personally, I don't think Toronto should get a 2nd NHL team. Give it to Southern Ontario. But if it did happen, Downsview would make the most sense. And I guarantee the Leafs would regret having not built there first. What, with every plus I already mentioned.

I completely agree that Downtown is perfect but the Leafs should absolutely be in a new arena. The ACC was originally built as a Basketball only arena. That's why there's hockey blind spots.

Meh, before the acc was built, they made modifications for hockey.
They have much more benefits downtown. Cashcow.

And yet there's still blind seats.

To be fair, Leafs will make bank, regardless of where they are in the city.

EDIT: Hell, if they get their own parking lot, they could even make more. Because everything Leafs is overpriced.
