Went and met with Spruce Meadows folks and checked out the grounds today. It may not seem like much has changed, but in the last 3 months they've ripped out the fountains and repaired the area, improved the irrigation and drainage of the pitch, and built the retaining wall on the end that will house the supporters section. They also explained the layout on each side of the field, and each will have stands close to the pitch. Hard to explain without photos or being there live, but the ground will be intimate.
The club wants to partner with bars to make transportation easier from around the city. Problem is, they don't know who is interested yet. Our supporters group has hookups for Wurst and Hudson's so I think they are going to follow those leads to start. Not sure what will actually happen.
I brought up the concern with parking charges and it sounds like feedback on that has been overwhelmingly negative, so hopefully that sways their decision. They are also not expecting a big crowd next Saturday, but cited weather as a big factor in that.
