Former Tenants[edit]

If anyone has any more tenants that they know about, please add them. Also, if you can specify any dates for the former teams, please do that too.

Or do you think that all non-professional teams should simply be removed from the list? --J3wishVulcan 21:38, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Former stadiums[edit]

I'm gonna put up a list of former stadiums.--J3wishVulcan 13:26, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alamodome[edit]

Did the Alamodome have "RealGrass" artificial turf when the Texans played there? I'm not sure but isn't "RealGrass" artificial turf like Fieldturf? Fieldturf like fields weren't around back then. Qutezuce 22:11, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It has "RealGrass" right now. I went to their website and they made no mention of ever having anything else, so I assumed (perhaps wrongfully) that that's what the Texans played on. But it does seem very similar to FieldTurf, but a different company makes it. See http://realgrass.com --J3wishVulcan 13:26, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know that there is at least one company that makes a product similar to FieldTurf. Canad Inns Stadium has a FieldTurf looking field, but I know it's not from the FieldTurf company, it has some other name. Qutezuce 19:53, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For the Alamodome, do you wanna put something like "FieldTurf by RealGrass? --J3wishVulcan 19:15, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would imagine we wouldn't, because the column is titled "surface during use", and if RealGrass is a FieldTurf like product, then I doubt it was around in 1995 as FieldTurf is relatively new. Qutezuce 20:37, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WHo knows, maybe it was a pre-cursor to the FieldTurf prooduct? I'd just put 'RealGrass' since ive looked in a lot of places and even on the ReaGrass website they advertise their product as being in use at the AlamoDome. --J3wishVulcan 00:39, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[1] [2] Those two links (from 2003 and 2002 resp) talk about the Alamodome and changing the turf that had been installed there since it opened in 1993. From the second link

Inside the building, the Cowboys are using an artificial surface that is relatively new to amateur sports and even to the professional ranks. ... Billed "Real Grass", the field is as close to the real stuff as an artificial field can get.

So the RealGrass is definately a new developement that was not around in 1995. Qutezuce 01:43, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But what was used before? --J3wishVulcan 22:10, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The two articles I linked made it sound like an artificial turf was used before that. Thats pretty much narrows it to an AstroTurf-like surface, no? Is there any other articifial surface other than FieldTurf-like, and AstroTurf-like? Qutezuce 04:15, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I know of.

I think that before FieldTurf, just about every artificial turf was AstroTurf. And it couldn't have been grass. --J3wishVulcan 20:57, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List redone[edit]

I redid the list to separate the teams that are current into their divisions and placed the former teams into a third category. I then listed under each team what their former stadiums were. I felt it very unnecessary to show who else shared the stadium with the CFL team along with the specifics of what kind of turf it has. If someone needed to know what the field consisted of it shows it on the individual stadium page which all of the stadiums (sans Old Varsity Stadium for the Argos). Let me know if this is suitable or if the old way was preferred. For reference I did this one the same way I did it for Major League Soccer and for NFL Europa.Pharos04 04:52, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I like it. Thanks and well done.--J3wishVulcan 21:23, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's still a list, not an article, though. Your edit summary of "Not exactly a list anymore as it is just a table showing all the stadiums" doesn't make much sense: the list is simply in the format of a table like before. heqs 16:31, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

BC Place capacity[edit]

Seem like the Lions at least early in the season do not open the second deck — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.59.74.167 (talk) 16:27, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

TD Place[edit]

What part of the current stadium dates to 1908? As I can figure out from wikipedia. North side dates to 1967 and south side to 2014. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.127.56.78 (talk) 15:15, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
