Can't wait.

I am. Have my tickets for May 4 and have a brand new Cavalry FC scarf to wear to the game. I really like that they made the decision to play on grass instead of playing on an artificial surface in an empty McMahon Stadium. I expect the atmosphere at Spruce Meadows will bring people back for more as well. This theme of creating a European atmosphere versus a North American one is the right way to go. I think the only thing that stands in the way is Canadian geography and the travel distances the teams will have to cover.
I am also going to be able to travel away for the July game in Halifax. Should be fun! I also really, really like the jerseys, especially the red one.
