This is old news, but I don't remember it being discussed here or on the moto podcasts that I listen to.
No NY/NJ nor Toronto SX?!?! (Detroit also dumped.) Man, that sucks. I am in the NY/NJ area and have loved this race. And, just started working in Toronto and wanted to plan a work trip around that race. Now they're both gone!?! Wow.
Apologies if I am the last to know.

New Jersey and New England will switch off every other year. To try and help build anticipation for the race in each market, when they had both it cannibilzed attendance from each other since they really weren't that far apart mileage wise. Plus there isn't enough late April (Spring) dates for the Northern venues without domes. Seattle/Salt Lake/New Jersey/New England all have to fight over 2 to 3 weekends depending on when Easter falls.
As for Toronto, they are doing stadium renovations. So it's expected to return when the dates become available.

I believe putting real grass at the stadium was on the table but it takes a whole lot of effort, engineering and money in order to get that done and I think because of that the plans were shelved and it's not going to happen.
The attendance at the Toronto round was good so I know it doesn't have anything to do with that.
