Those kids in 108 are hardcore. One of the Whitecaps players was trying to give them some love afterwards. Respectful clap, hand on heart, etc. and those kids were having none of it. Kept booing him.
Not the right result, but a good game and crowd on a nice spring weeknight. I felt that the Cavs played fairly well and could've hung on. And as much as I hate penalties to decide a game, it was different and entertaining. Not to mention a first for Cavalry and Spruce Meadows.
I brought my wife and my niece, and it was the first time for both. They enjoyed it and will definitely be back. My wife kept commenting on how it was so strange to have soccer at Spruce Meadows, but how well it worked. She's not wrong, of course, but I think it is easy to get used to it and forget how unique and quaint it is until a fresh set of eyes reminds you.
