Well, I think Canada/Honduras in St. John's, Nfld, back in '85 was exactly what you're referring to except it was September.
Look at that pitch and the goosebumps on the Hondurans.
Legend has it some Honduran fans went to St. John, NB in utter confusion....
Considering it's importance in Canadian soccer history and the geographic/weather advantages, why haven't we play in there since?
