And I start my Toronto groundhopping with Allan A. Lamport Stadium, where the Wolfpack take on Halifax (the one in England). Turns out, the English anthem is like about one single person.

A Halifax player just kicked a conversion over the fence and right into the busy King St, straight at a moving car. If the driver of the vehicle would like to change his pants, they are selling lovely Wolfpacks gear at the arena.

I continue my tour of Toronto's sports venues with a visit to the Varsity Stadium (not nearly as decrepit and Soviet-like as when I last visited it 18 years ago) where the DC Breeze take on the Toronto Rush in a pro frisbee game.
Is there anything you won't charge $20 for, TO?

And I end it with the most underrated kind of football, having bought a cheap ticket off a scalper at 50% the price. I'd pay a lot more for a game where you can have the ball at your 53-yard line and win by the score of 1-0.

And some guy just gave me a slice of pepperoni pizza. I mean... You better get a hold of yourself, Canada, or I'll singlehandedly create a crisis on your southern border.

If I get to see a punt single, my life will be complete and there will officially nothing left to aspire to. I want it and dread it at the same time.

This is such an exciting game, too! I mean, EACH team got a goal in the first half, and numerous passes were caught on the fly, sometimes inbounds.
