Hell yeah I forgot about that new facility. Looks awesome! Also didn't realize it was in the West End, which is actually a great spot (in general) given the proximity to West Ed, 170th, and Whitemud. It also lets people catch a game away from work. The downside is that it's too far from a walk for some from a (soon to be built) LRT station, and the game-day parking situation would get hairy given it's also proximate to two high schools and a fitness facility.
The current location, while familiar for Edmonton sports fans, also just isn't conducive to the paying audience. Then again, Commonwealth has been around for a long time and people find a way.
