As seen on Reddit, looks like Cavalry has lowered the prices for the three most expensive sections for the Voyageurs Cup match against Hamilton: https://twitter.com/kenwtong/status/1133851923797250048
Probably won't move the needle much for a mid-week game, but if they went with this going forward for league games, I could see the now $55 seats starting to move more frequently.
Edit: looks like more than just those three sections. The $40 section is now $35, and the Officer's Club is $140 instead of $250.

For those looking to go to Foothills FC or Foothills WFC games, home pitch will now be at Mount Royal University. The outdoor pitch at the Foothills fieldhouse is not ready to be played on.

Hopefully, the weather cooperates for the Saturday, June 22 game vs. Forge FC. This could possibly be the match where we clinch the Spring Title. Hopefully we get some corporations buying up the overpriced centre sections in order to get some bums in those seats, even if they are the silent suits that sit in the lower bowl of the Saddledome.

I watched Halifax beat Pacific today on CBC. It looked like a sell out. Great atmosphere.
I hope other cities (including Calgary) can replicate that sort of environment soon!

We already have the atmosphere & environment. We just need the numbers, but overpriced tickets are preventing sellouts. Halifax had 6200 in attendance, which was not a sellout but very close to capacity. I purchased tickets to see Cavalry away there in July - paid $35 for adults and $25 for kids in a section that would cost $60 plus at Spruce Meadows.

Does anyone know if Rose and Crown or Ship will be showing the Forge/Cavs game on Tuesday?

Rose and Crown will be for sure. I think we have a decent group of people going to watch the game after work.
From prior experience, I wouldn't trust the Ship for any away games. My experience is if it's not a game in England or the World Cup, they don't care about it.

Good to know! My preference would be Rose and Crown anyway. Better tap list and its a small way to compensate them for running the busses.

FC Edmonton reminds me of myself in high school...they can't score and they fumble any chances they get when they are close. Discuss.

Yeah that reminds me of average high school teenager skill level. Only difference is this guy doesn't have a gopher hole in the field to blame it on.

Even the Fan is getting the name wrong. Calling them calvary in their ads.

Took about 4 or 5 more strides trying to stay up, but with each stride it became more and more apparent that there was no recovering from it. Down I went and had all sorts of turf burn to show for it, but that was nothing compared to my injured ego.

Challenge to the Foot Soldiers: Without offending Jews or Catholics, come up with an ultra-subtle reference to "Calvary" in a ritual, song, or banner that very few people will understand, but will seriously impress those that get it.

In light of that clip and Edmonton bashing, I thought that I'd offer up a front-row seat to watch the hilarity in person!
I've got two tickets in the front-row of the Cavs supporters section for the match in Edmonton on June 15th. I don't want payment, just want them to go to someone who can and will attend!
Plus: It should be an entertaining, fun away game where you get to see the Cavs beat that no good team from the north! And the price is right!
Con: Well it's Edmonton. I realise that's an immense drawback, but there's nothing I can do here.
If you want them or know someone who wants them, get in touch and I'll get them over to you!

I'm out of town for the game in Edmonton that day, but otherwise I would be there with all my Cavs gear on and in the supporter section!
