Skyscraper forum southwest3/29/2023 ![]() While the ballpark hasn't sparked the downtown renaissance that Coors Field seemed to do in Denver (that was always the hope) downtown is seeing such incredible growth on its own, including down in the Warehouse District, that they'd be stupid to leave now. And I think the Dbacks are thinking much bigger than adding some suites or a new party area inside, I think they want to develop as much of the land immediately around and next to the stadium as they can (that open area wedge on the northeast side of the stadium has always been so dumb, even the little restaurant building on the west side is puny compared to what could be). The roof they mention in the video is just one bit of major deferred maintenance. I think there are much more major expenses and plans that are behind all of this. I don't remember the specifics, but they put in a couple new restaurants and a "party deck" type of area as well as slightly reduced seating I believe. The Dbacks have already done some things like this. I think something similar would do very well, especially indoors in the summertime. Coors Field sacrificed some seating in order to put in a "party deck" that has been very successful. Hope they figure something out to improve the stadium and keep it there. Those are huge cuts.D-Backs leaving would be a huge loss for downtown. Keep in mind YOW and YUL are going from 5-6x last summer (and 12x pre-pandemic mostly Dash 8 with 1-2 daily 737s) to probably 3x 737 each this summer. And these routes were removed entirely:ĭon't know the frequencies on those, but seems like a decrease overall. With these changes, it is a net increase of 13 flights. Vancouver – Toronto Increase from 70 to 71 weekly Toronto – Saskatoon Increase from 6 to 7 weekly Toronto – Regina Increase from 4 to 6 weekly Toronto – New York LaGuardia Reduce from 14 to 7 weekly Toronto – Los Angeles Increase from 7 to 13 weekly Toronto – Las Vegas Increase from 7 to 12 weekly Toronto – Halifax Increase from 26 to 35 weekly These are the only YYZ items:Ĭalgary – Toronto Increase from 81 to 84 weekly (Exceeding 2019 level) YYZ was the only one that posted some reductions, and was barely mentioned in the whole article. YVR, YEG, and YYC all had significant additions (not just new routes, but restoring frequencies). It would be crazy if YEG overtook YYZ for 3rd spot. Last time was in December and YVR overtook YYZ for 2nd place, but YYZ was ahead of YEG in 4th place. Need to update my flight count for WS at each airport. AC's YYC-YXT at 2x weekly?! AC never ran Jazz routes like that before, sub daily was rare on any Jazz route). Airlines are launching routes but starting conservative, even more than before (ie. But limited frequency route pairs have become more prevalent since COVID I feel like. The domestic adds are nice too, even if limited frequency. It was really a no brainer in that they are filling some DL vacancies and also strengthening other services. Certainly scored them points in Edmonton after years of adding YYC and nothing else. Granted, some of the transborder is just replacing DL, but still, they didn't have to do it. Good for WS for stepping up and adding YEG service, it's about time. ![]()
