- Glenmore Athletic Park is now the frontrunner for where games will be played, which works out much better from a transit perspective.
- The club is in talks to partner with the Ship and Anchor to get a matchday bus to and from the Ship on game days. IMO this is fantastic from a supporters point of view as it works towards the 19-34 demographic which is an oft-overlooked demographic by clubs.
- The club is also in talks to get games televised on Shaw TV (channel 10 if you have Shaw). Even a local TV deal for a club at this level is huge.
- FC Edmonton of the NASL will be in town for a preseason game.
The first three items above are not set in stone, but they are being worked on by the club. If all three can get worked out I think they are all good developments.

Sounds about right.
To add to that, it sounds like early March was the latest they'll confirm where they'll be playing. I'm sure myself or Sherm will know about as soon as anyone can. I agree that Glenmore would be a good location.
