Tim Leiweke discusses BMO Field expansion

Tim Leiweke has been in his job with Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment for a little over half a year now.  In that time it has quickly become clear that he is the perfect fit for the company as they try to further expand their sports and entertainment empire in Toronto.  Leiweke knows how to talk the big talk and inspire the fans.  He also knows how to add value to a company like he did in his previous role with AEG.
Since taking over Leiweke has already made major decisions about MLSE's three biggest properties and who should be in charge of shaping their futures.  He gave a vote of confidence to Leafs GM Dave Nonis, he brought in one of the top young GMs in the NBA with the hiring of Masai Ujiri to run that franchise, and he replaced Kevin Payne with Tim Bezbatchenko at the top of Toronto FC.

Those were the highest profile moves that he has made in his short time in Toronto but there were certainly other moves that put MLSE in a better position moving forward.  There has been a fair bit of turnover at the top of MLSE in recent months as Leiweke looks to bring in the people he wants to work closely with which has resulted in some of the less popular figures in the organization being shuffled out.

On the whole, things seem to be heading in the right direction for MLSE under their new boss with the major caveat that none of it has yet produced results on the ice/court/field as his changes are only just starting to have an impact on the organizations.
