A sophisticated tunnel has been discovered near a major sporting venue and a university in Toronto, reports said Monday, with Canada on edge over the threat of possible extremist attacks.
A municipal worker was walking through woods near York University and the Rexall Center last month when he spotted a piece of corrugated metal on the ground, lifted it up and found a passageway, the public broadcaster CBC said.
The tunnel was about 23 feet long and 22.5 meters tall and was lit by an electric generator. The walls and ceilings had been reinforced and tools had been left inside.
Toronto is hosting the Pan American Games in July and the Rexall Center is one of the venues. The facility also hosts major tennis events.

Canuckistan authorities have made safe assumptions about the who and why of this hideout. Thats why they filled it in instead of placing it under surveillance and being forced to reveal identities. Absolutely baffling as to why they didn't stake this thing out to figure out who built it and why. The scope of it does not immediately bring to mind that this was just a bunch of 10 year old Indiana Jones wannabees...let's just hope that after the PanAm games are over they are not looking back at this and pondering the missed golden opportunity.

Do you perhaps mean, “MENE MENE TEKEL UPARSHIN” was handwritten on the wall?

Nope; recent ones.
The Ancient ones would have used finely worked stone blocks.

Its 2.5 meters tall, or 8 227⁄64. I do not know where the extra 2 came from; some kind of error when pasting.

my Newfoundland BIL just can’t figure oat why but did get a chuckle out of the phillies tunnel idea.
To: Olog-hai
You wouldnt call mine shafts tunnels? A mine shaft goes somewhere, namely to the ore which is to be extracted. Where does this thing go? Or where is it supposed to go?
