^ Encouraging stuff. I like that it will be intimate. The renderings, although preliminary, made it look like there would be acres of space between the stands and the sidelines. The tighter the better!

Bar partnerships are going to be huge. Because the relative isolation of Spruce Meadows (although they do have some hospitality facilities on-site) will mean that a supporters march to the stadium a la Whitecaps won't be possible. But letting people warm up in a bar and then make their way will be fun for many.

Glad they have heard it re: parking. And no doubt ticket prices as well. I hope that they don't lean too heavily on weather as an excuse because cost for the product/experience is way off on this one. But I'm glad that they have been hearing about it.

Thanks for the update. My optimism metre just ticked up a notch after a few ticks downward recently.
