I had a response written, but I have deleted it because a) it has already been said by pretty much everyone, on every social media platform and b) I don't want to kill the vibe for what should be the most anticipated date in Calgary soccer history.

I'll just leave this image here. For the inaugural match! Not good at all. I have grave concerns about the pricing and the impact on attendance, atmosphere, revenue, turning off new fans, fan experience, etc. I remain optimistic, but this is a self-constructed mountain in a market that already had an uphill journey on its hands. And that's a real shame.

I'll be there Saturday and as often as I can, pay my money for OneSoccer, etc. but.... this is sobering:
