I just don't like how our city name is so similar to it, so it makes the whole thing a little silly. Cavalry from Calgary is a little weird.
My bigger problem is the lighting in Spruce Meadows and the west side spectator "stands". If they simply made 4 stands like the East Stand with decent lighting of the pitch, I would have zero issue with the stadium. In fact, I'd love a working man's stadium with no frills but good atmosphere.

If the team does well, that's coming. The plans are to convert the All-Canada Ring into a 12,000 seat stadium with a horseshoe design. Atco Field is basically a pop-up stadium. And for what it is, they did a very good job.
