TORONTO -- Chris Rudge and the Toronto Argonauts are on the clock. Cheapest Yeezy 350 V2 . On Friday, the Argos and Rogers Centre announced theyve signed a lease agreement through Dec. 31, 2017. However, the deal wont be renewed past that date, meaning the CFL club must find a new home field in time for the 2018 season. Or sooner. The Argos have the option to terminate the deal earlier if they want. "Yes, theres a deadline but its not an unreasonable deadline," said Rudge, the Argos president and chief executive officer. "We could take a year to make the decision (regarding a new home) and two years to put it up and still be in good shape while also having the option to move out early. "While we dont have any definitive plans we could share with anybody yet, its our hope within six months to a year there will be something thats clearly definitive." Paul Beeston, the president and CEO of Rogers Centre and baseballs Toronto Blue Jays, didnt immediately return a telephone message Friday. But in a statement, Beeston said the agreement helps both parties. "The length of the deal allows the Argonauts a reasonable period of time to pursue other stadium options while allowing us sufficient time to plan the logistics of various stadium improvements including the installation of a grass playing surface for baseball at Rogers Centre," he said. If it takes until 2018 for the Argos to land a new home, they could be christening the new digs under new ownership. Senator David Braley, 72, who owns the Toronto franchise as well as the B.C. Lions, said he plans to sell one or both the clubs by the time he turns 75. "I do not anticipate owning two football franchises by the time Im age 75," Braley said Friday, adding if hes still healthy hed be open to keeping one of the teams three years from now. Of the two franchises, Braley would not only have an infinitely easier time selling the Lions but hed get a better price for the club. B.C. is a perennial contender on the field, has solid attendance and corporate sponsorship and is on sound financial footing. The Argos (7-4), despite being defending Grey Cup champions and currently atop the East Division, are only averaging 21,300 spectators per game at Rogers Centre and have long been losing money. However, Braley said hes talking with four communities -- he wouldnt identify them -- about the possibility of building a new stadium that would be home for the CFL club. Fridays announcement wasnt surprising as Rogers Centre informed the Argos over a year ago it was looking into installing a natural grass field that couldnt be reconfigured for football. The new agreement not only paves the way for Rogers Centre to make the switch to natural grass but ends years of speculation regarding the Argos future at the domed stadium. The Blue Jays are just one of two teams in the majors not playing on grass and the organization feels it must make the switch to continue being able to attract top talent. New facilities are the trend in the CFL these days. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are in their first season at Investors Group Field while the Hamilton Tiger-Cats will move into a new venue next year. The expansion Ottawa Redblacks are slated to return to the CFL in 2014 in a remodelled Frank Clair Stadium while in 17 the Saskatchewan Roughriders are scheduled to move into a new open-air building to replace Mosaic Stadium. The Argos have called Rogers Centre home since 89 when it opened as the former SkyDome. Playing in a dome certainly offered CFL fans protection in inclement weather but there has always been criticism over the lack of atmosphere in the facility, especially with the roof closed. Rogers Centre has a capacity of 50,000-plus fans for football and rocks when its full. Trouble is, Rogers Centre can be cavernous when the fans dont come out. "Its no secret many people would say the greatest impediment to us being more successful in drawing bigger crowds is the nature of that stadium," Rudge said. "Its not as intimate as football fans would like and were probably better off trying to find a better place." Although the Jays and Argos have co-existed at Rogers Centre for years, its often been a struggle for the CFL team to draw a favourable home schedule there. Rogers Communications Inc. owns both the Jays and building so often baseball takes priority. With the Hamilton Tiger-Cats new stadium under construction, there was an opportunity for Toronto to host their arch rivals in their annual Labour Day showdown. But the Blue Jays were at home that weekend so the stadium couldnt be reconfigured in time and the Argos ended up playing a rare Tuesday night game the day after Labour Day. And with Rogers Centre being a multi-purpose venue, the Argos also faced competition from outside sources for their home dates. The Argos most logical option is BMO Field, home to Major League Soccers Toronto FC. The outdoor venue has a seating capacity of roughly 22,500 for soccer but can handle up to 28,000 for special events like concerts and provides an intimate setting. But there are still challenges there. Reconfiguring BMO Field would be an issue because its not designed to accommodate a Canadian football field, which is 150 yards long (including two 20-yard end zones) and 65 yards wide. Toronto FCs loyal fans have also made it clear they dont want to share their grass field with a CFL club. But Toronto FCs owners are looking at whether BMO Field can be refitted for football. Tim Lieweke, president and CEO of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, has said the organization is examining all options to improve the facility -- including the addition of a roof -- but no changes will be made that negatively impact the soccer fans experience. There are also concerns a football team playing at BMO Field would cause serious damage to the playing surface, though the facility has hosted rugby contests without incident and the Argos have their own practice facility in Mississauga. Rudge said the Argos have talked with MLSE about BMO Field and hope to continue discussions but supported Braleys statements that the club has other options. The ideal facility would be an open-air venue with a seating capacity of 29,000 and available parking for some 10,000 vehicles while being accessible via public transit. "Its $150 million, ballpark, to do a stadium," Rudge said. "It probably requires an investment or partnership with multiple layers of government, a multi-use kind of investment in lands so you could amortize the costs of the stadium across commercial and residential investments as well that give you a better payback. "Theres also being close to GO trains, subways and major highways while being accessible to public transit and having ample parking. All of these things have to be taken into consideration." If the Argos set up shop in a new facility outside of Toronto, Rudge understands there will be those who criticize the team for leaving the downtown core. "There are others in this argument who say, Well do you want to lose the excitement of being downtown," he said. "Probably not but I can tell you I look forward to losing the lack of excitement by walking in and seeing not as many fans there as I think our product deserves. "We said a couple of years ago when I got involved here we were going to invest in the product on the field and I think weve worked hard to create a team thats giving the city some excitement. Certainly, last year we knocked it out of the park in every respect and it still hasnt resulted in what we wouldve liked to have seen in season tickets this year." Cheapest Air Max . "Its not done, but its a huge step," Hannover general manager Dirk Dufner said. Poor defending allowed the visitors to score in the second minute, when Leon Andreasens header from Christian Panders cross sent the ball inside the far post.

Almaty, Kazakhstan; Beijing, and Oslo made the list of finalists, as had been expected. The IOC executive board approved all three as official candidate cities, sending them through to the final stage of the campaign, rather than cut the decimated field any further. The cities must submit their detailed bid files to the IOC by next January. The host city will then be selected by the full IOC membership in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on July 31, 2015. "The IOC is very happy to see three very different approaches with regard to the organization of the games," IOC President Thomas Bach said. "This gives the IOC a choice among three diverse bids with different legacy plans, with different approaches, with different budgets." Addressing concerns that the Olympics have become too expensive, Bach said the IOC will contribute about $750 million to the host city and expressed confidence that local organizers will break even or make a profit on their operational budget. He cited a projected $200 million surplus for Russian organizers from Februarys Winter Olympics in Sochi. Potential host cities, especially in Western Europe, are increasingly wary about the financial costs of holding the games. Many have been scared off by the $51 billion price tag associated with the Sochi Games, even though Russia spent much of that record sum on long-term infrastructure projects for the entire region. "We want to encourage sustainability and the feasibility of the organization of the Olympic Games," Bach said. The 2022 bid race began with six cities, but has been cut in half by the withdrawals of Stockholm; Krakow, Poland; and Lviv, Ukraine. Lviv dropped out a week ago amid the continuing polittical turmoil in Ukraine. Air Max 270 Store. Krakow pulled out in May after Polish voters rejected the bid by a 70 per cent margin. Stockholm withdrew in January after Swedish politicians refused to give the bid financial backing. In addition, potential bids from Switzerland and Germany were abandoned before the official campaign began when voters said no in referendums. Even though Oslo -- which hosted the 1952 Winter Games -- made the final cut Monday, its candidacy remains uncertain. The Norwegian government has yet to back the project and wont make a decision until the autumn, probably in November. Polls have shown that more than half the population opposes the bid. "It wasnt very surprising but is confirmation that our application is strong," Oslo Mayor Stian Berger Roesland said after the IOC announcement. "Should Parliament and the government decide (to support the bid) we have a historic opportunity to be awarded the games after so many strong cities have withdrawn." Beijing, which hosted the 2008 Summer Olympics, is bidding to become the first city to host both the summer and winter games. The Chinese capital proposes holding alpine events 120 miles (190 kilometres) away in the city of Zhangjiakou. With Pyeongchang, South Korea, hosting the 2018 Winter Games and Tokyo the 2020 Summer Olympics, however, the IOC would normally be reluctant to send the games to East Asia for a third consecutive time. Almaty, the commercial capital of the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan in Central Asia, hosted the 2011 Asian Games and will host the Winter University Games in 2017. The 2022 race poses a serious challenge for the IOC and Bach to find cities willing to host the games. Changes to the bidding process and efforts to reduce the cost of the games are among the key issues being addressed by the IOC as part of Bachs "Agenda 2020," his roadmap for the future of the Olympic ' ' '
