It's funny because sometimes Spruce Meadows almost makes it feel like you're travelling to a little European town to watch a football game.
I'm not sure of the politics behind it but I can't believe Wild FC choose to go to McMahon stadium instead of trying to play at Atco field.

The Wild wanted to play at Spruce Meadows. Spruce Meadows wanted a significant fee to rent the stadium; I've heard it was 7 figures annually.
I speculate that Spruce Meadows didn't want an additional tenant and asked for a fee they knew the Wild couldn't afford. They already struggle to maintain that pitch outside of the big equestrian events.
