To my knowledge no parking for single game tickets. I've heard not all season ticket holders can get parking either.

I'm planning to park on U of C campus and walk over. Will see how it goes.

Just heard on the streets over 8000 tickets have been sold and counting...

Weird to see McMahon with no football lines.
Safely say I've never seen that before.

A hydration break in 17C weather?

8556 in attendance. Good buzz before the stands. Both merch stands were lined up 100 deep 45 minutes before kickoff. That will help the bottom line.

Game itself was pretty dull, and I think the team struggled with the fast pitch. Very different type of crowd and atmosphere to Spruce Meadows. They seemed to get into what the supporters were doing near the end.

I regret not bringing sunscreen and seeing "low UV" in my weather app before leaving.

The new turf looked pretty nice from the stands

Both teams struggled in the final third with that breakthrough pass or cross.

Overall a good experience and think it was much hotter and sunnier than anybody expected for that game

It was a fun evening out but the football itself was fairly atrocious tbh. Thought Gray looked promising when she was brought on, but a lot of the time she was out wide in tons of space and nobody was playing her in.

Way better game today. Much higher pace and way more offensive chances. Topped off by a nice goal to win it late

Too bad they didn't have that game last weekend because it would have probably had more of the fans returning.

Nice strike by Robertson to win it.

3500 in attendance. IMO that's a great number. It's better then every other club has draw outside of their home opener so far.

It was a fun game. Good crowd, and the rain held off nicely until the end.

Is it not possible to buy single game tickets for July yet? I was looking at getting tickets for July 19 but Ticketmaster requires an unlock code for all of the seats.

That's odd...I just went on TM and everything looked open to me...

Weird, works for me now. Maybe I'm just going crazy. Thanks, time to buy some tix!

Another good night for the Wild at home last night. 3k fans for a mid-week evening fixture is pretty good.

And they had probably one of the more entertaining games of the season that saw them play really well in the first half with a couple of really well taken goals, but then really couldn't break down the press in the second half and it made it a tight game but held on to win 3-2.

Tied at the top of the table with Montreal and Vancouver now.

Slumping a bit here right now.

Have lost three straight and haven't looked great since that first half against Halifax.

Big win for the Wild yesterday and it's pretty awesome that they were able to get 3k+ out for a game in the middle of stampede.
