Exhibition Stadium in Toronto. If you are old enough to remember Exhibition Stadium, you’ll remember it was a terrible place to watch a baseball game. The
Argonauts played their CFL games there, so the seats faced the 55 yard line, not the diamond. You had to turn your head to watch the play. They made some improvements there as time went on, but
