Videos: drone footage of BMO Field construction, how it will look for Argos

One of the biggest storylines of this CFL season is the Toronto Argonauts' move to BMO Field, and Friday gave us an in-depth look at what that facility's going to be like for them. Ahead of their inaugural preseason game there Saturday against Hamilton, the team released drone footage of the construction and renovation process to retrofit the stadium for Canadian football as well as soccer, and footage of what the stadium looks like now in its football configuration. Here's a video shot of the construction process:

And here's another video composed of clips from drone footage the Argonauts released of how BMO Field looks now in the football configuration:

Here's a look inside the locker room, complete with a giant Argonauts' logo and mural on the walls in the entryway:

This all looks pretty good, and there are plenty of functional changes as well, such as a more-elaborate locker room featuring charging stations for players' electronic devices at each locker. There's a lot to like about the Argonauts' new home. It will be interesting to see how their first game there goes on Saturday, and really interesting to see how fans embrace the team at BMO Field when it comes to the CFL season opener on June 23.
