I really like 'The Blue Mile' as a name for the area too. Once the reasoning behind the name is explained to someone, it'll make sense to them forever, which is what makes these kind of things memorable. We just have to get some sports reporters using the term to get it to stick...
Those two Chicago web pages calling it 'The Golden Mile' are mixing together 'The Magnificent Mile' with Chicago's 'Gold Coast' which is just north of it.

Rather than the Blue Mile, how about the Blue Line?

We should have the maple leaf and blue jay symbols all over the road (the way the ice looks like just before the leafs arrive).
Too bad the raptors are purple.

Hockey reference?

the raptors aren't purple anymore. their official colours are: red, black, white and silver. they changed their team colours to better reflect their canadian identity. also because the purple was a little ridiculous.
personally, i think the name of this district, or "mile", should also represent the raptors. they've been around for 15 years now. they have a loyal and large fan base and represent toronto and canada for the entire NBA. remember, the acc was originally constructed for the raptors alone, that is, before they were bought by mlse.

I really love the idea of a kind of Toronto sports walk of fame along Bremner!
We could have statues of some of the bigger players, as well as plaques in the sidewalks memorializing some of the cities most famous athletes.
Carter at Bremner and Ress, Bower at York and Bremner (or Lakeshore), Barilko in the middle of Bremner circle! Pinball in the western plaza of the Rogers Centre!
