On the other, residents of neighbouring Torbrick Road, who say noise, swearing and excessive lighting during evening games are keeping them up at night. They want the field shut down at 9 p.m., rather than at the current 11 p.m. curfew.

Within the last 10 days, they've equipped referees with special muted whistles, said board spokesperson John Yan, and installed mesh backdrops to keep stray balls out of the neighbours' yards.


quote:

"The lights are very bright into peoples bedrooms," Fletcher told CBC Toronto Wednesday. "When kids should be going to bed and it's kind of your quiet time, that's when the cheering, the clapping, and the loud voices yelling, fighting, swearing ... at 11 o'clock, that's a lot," she said.

To be fair, their apartment/condo looks to 50 feet from the goals and games to 11 pm is late as hell.

As long as I can still yell at my son and tell him to get his arse in gear, I'm fine. I won't cheer.

Can Canadians watch a soccer game and not clap? That would be impolite.

Sounds like the assholes who bitch about the stadiums at Tulane and SMU even though the entire reason their property value is high is b/c the school is there to keep the area nice.
