Just curious, but does any one know why York United want out of the Lions Stadium? The PanAm athletics track was torn out to make the stadium attractive to soccer teams.

They've consistently had the lowest/second lowest average attendances in the Canadian Premier League, usually between the 1 and 2k mark. The Wolfpack at Lamport showed how high the potential of a pro sports team located there can be with cheap tickets and a community feel.

Because it's a godawful location for professional sports. What that level of soccer needs is grassroots and community support and an empty university campus through the summer doesn't provide that.

As someone who lives DT and tries to go to more than two matches of theirs a year it's very difficult to commit the time when the matches are shorter than the amount of time I have to commit to transit to/from.

I don't know 100%, but as someone who has looked into their games, it's such a trek to get there (about 1 hr on TTC from just outside downtown) and there isn't anything around in the area to make it worth the outing.
