Quite, so staying 10-15 miles out of town is a cheap option

Less expensive. There is a difference.

Of course. Less expensive then downtown, but more expensive than a teepee. It’s a cheap but acceptable option.

No, it is not cheap,  its actually quite expensive..its nice and more accessible and convenient for the players/coaching staffs  both when flying in and flying out.  There are reasons why airports have hotels around them...for the Love of Mike! 

P.S. I'm pretty sure I'm probably the only one on here who has actually ever slept in a full tee pee and they are very nice indeed!

This Holiday Inn is actually pretty middle-of-the-road for the general area - there are perhaps 20 large hotels within a fifteen minute drive of Pearson International. Some are more expensive, some less so.

And I can remember when the only major hotel in the area was the Skyline, which was pretty much just a huge beer hall with some rooms attached.

Pretty sure Fev did. They also used public transport to get in and out of the centre after the match - really good (and cheap) 24hr links.

Wolfpack players mostly used the King St tram to get to & from Lamport.

Let’s see where the players stay when the SL clubs have to pay for accommodation themselves.

Not old enough to be around when the airport used to be just called Malton. There was a huge aircraft manufacturing plant there (DeHaviland?). And the Constellation Hotel. No 427, just 27. But it was mostly just farmer's fields.

They'll be SOL if they go looking for a teepee.

The Constellation...that architectural marvel!  Like something out of the Jetsons it was.

There are worse places to sleep.  I love sleeping in tee pees...of all the places I have slept nothing was so wonderful as sleeping in a tee pee...unreal.

I'm being serious.

It always makes me laugh when people specify "farmers". What other kind of field would it be?

But would you assume any of those when unqualified? In the context you used, "it used to be just fields", I don't think anyone would assume otherwise. 

 

I grew up on a farm, so half razzing half actually curious.

I have no idea actually. It was all just empty land growing money. The only undeveloped land left around there now is the golf course.
