Comrade Miller's Priorities?

Miller pledges real grass in video interview

By BRETT CLARKSON

In a video posted to YouTube, Mayor David Miller said the much-maligned fake grass at BMO Field could be replaced with the real thing next year.

Filmed in Shoeless Joe's bar on King St. W. after last week's rainy Columbus game, a soaking wet Miller claims to have built BMO Field himself.

"That's Stuart right there, standing up for me, because we built the stadium," a happier-than-usual Miller says, pointing out his spokesman and fellow TFC fan Stu Green. "Actually that's wrong. He didn't build the stadium, I built the stadium."

At one point, the interviewer asks Miller how long it's going to take before real grass is installed at BMO.

"Next year," Miller says in the clip. "Next year, but no guarantees. But we're trying."

While the falling might be an isolated incident........
