Toronto continues bid
for pro basketball team
TORONTO (AP) — Labatt breweries and the Canadian Impe
rial Rank of Commerce, c o-owners of baseball's Blue las s, on
Thursday joined the effort to bring on NHA team to Toronto.
The Palestra Group, one of two Toronto groups vying for an
NHA expansion franchise, announced that John Labatt Ltd. and
the QBC each would own one-third of the team.
The NBA s expansion committee will meet Tuesday in New
York to review the progress toward adding two teams for the
1995-96 season, but no decision will be made, according to Bri
an Mc Intyre, the league's chief spokesman.
"We know Toronto is ready, we know Palestra is ready, but
the decision is ultimately the NBA's.” said Palestra president
Joel Rose He said he was "c autiously optimistic” that some
thing very significant would come out of the meetings.
"Our expectation is to have a firm, conditional grant by June
30." said Rose.
I.abatt owns 90 percent of the World Series champion Blue
Jays, which have drawn over four million customers in each of
the past two years. The CIBC owns 10 percent of the American
League franchise
Toronto is not a diffic ult sell as a sports town. The Blue Jays
sold out their 50.000-seat stadium for all hut 13 games last year
on route to a second consecutive major league attendance
record.
Tic kets to see the Maple Leafs of the NHL art! at a premium
even though the team has not won a Stanley Cup since 1967
and. until this year, went several seasons without u competi
tive team
The Palestra backers said they have received unsolicited
requests for more than 4.000 season tickets from liasketlwil fans
in southern Ontario and western New York.
As part of its hid. Palestra and Maple Leaf Gardens, Inc:, are
working together in the development and financing of a pro
posed 24,000-seat arena for both the basketball and hockey
teams. Labatt and CIBC would not have a slake in the arena.
Rose said the choice has been narrowed to four sites, all in
downtown Toronto and near mass transit.
A second Toronto bidder is John Bitove. head of Bitove. Inc:.,
a e ntering firm whic h among other things provides food at the
SkvUome stadium, home of the Blue Jays and the Toronto Arg
onauts of the Canadian Football League.
"There are other people who are interested," Rose saici.
"And I'm not sure we've necessarily scared them off."
Rose said it would take three years to plan and build the new
arena Under the current Palestra timetable, he said, an NBA
team starting in Toronto in 1995, would have to play in a tem
porary site for one year.
"We need a definitive decision to get our facility up and run
ning." he said.
Palestra is headed by Rose, a Toronto lawyer, and Larry
Tanonbaum. who is in the heavy construction and roadbuild
mg business.
