I am a die-hard football fan. Soccer to North Americans. And just like every other Fifa fan, I am definitely looking forward to the world cup tournament coming this June. And to know some of the games will be played here in Toronto was exciting.
Until I saw the temporory bleachers they have installed to bring it's capacity up to 45,000 seats for FIFA's requirement. Toronto? What were you thinking?????
Think football fans,.... wild,... loud,... and stomping on the bleachers in time to one another during exciting plays. Look at this set up in the picture. Now imagine all of those fans jumping up and down at the same time.
Is this going to hold?
I am seriously concerned about this tooth-pick looking set up. We have been assured it is 100% safe but I don't believe them. I am seriously concerned this structure will collapse under the weight of excited fans all stomping and jumping up and down at once.
I challenge anyone to go look up a good FIFA game on Youtube and you will see the fans are absolutely crazy with excitement and they are hard on stadium bleachers. I dont' know how many people that one stand is suppose to hold? But I am concerned.
And I am embarrassed that they had 146 million dollars and THIS is what they come up with??? I am embarrassed for Toronto. As a big football fan,.... you have let us down. It looks rickity. I don't think I would trust them. I hope I am wrong. I hope they are as strong and sturdy as they say. But if they aren't,... Toronto,.... people are going to get hurt,......
