Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment president and CEO Tim Leiweke appeared alongside TSN Soccer analysts Luke Wileman and Jason DeVos during Saturday's Toronto FC broadcast and discussed the possibility of the Toronto Argonauts coming to BMO Field.

Leiweke said talks to bring the Argos back to Toronto's Exhibition Place are still ongoing and if a deal is reached, Toronto FC would still be the "first" tenant at BMO Field. As well, the Major League Soccer team would have first choice when it comes to the facility's schedule.

BMO Field is undergoing a $120-million dollar facelift that added 8,400 new seats, additional washrooms and concession stands, 12 new executive suites and a new HD videoboard.

The second phase of the expansion takes place in September and is expected to be completed by May 1, 2016.

Phase 3 would include reconfiguring the field to accommodate the Argonauts should a deal be struck.

Leiweke spoke on the $3 million upgrades needed to the BMO Field turf if the Argos were to come back to Exhibition Place, including a heating system so "grass grows quicker," and the addition of a hybrid surface. Leiweke wouldn't specify where the hybrid surface would be added on the field.

Any upgrades to BMO Field's turf would begin during the 2016 Major League Soccer offseason.

Leiweke added that he understands "the obligation to the CFL and the Argonauts," and called the Argos' potential move to BMO Field "the right thing to do."
