I've never heard of the "TIC". If you meant the Toronto Congress Centre, it's not really a good fit. The Toronto Congress Centre is close to the Airport, and nothing else. There's currently no real public transit in the area, and you're a good 20 minute drive from all the tourist destinations that make Toronto so appealing. The theme park, Canada's Wonderland, is actually not close at all being located two cities away in Vaughn (About a 20 km drive). As for sports venues, the area is severely lacking.

If the dream of a Toronto Championship is to happen, it would have to be downtown.
