May 19, 201510 yr comment_119882 Wow.....so....where exactly is it being held? Is there even a place to sit and watch?? It is right beside IGF pretty much but no there is not really a place to sit and watch. This is really disappointing for me. Report

May 19, 201510 yr comment_119884 Let's just wait and see if they make arrangements for seating. Report
May 19, 201510 yr comment_119885 Well, we were going to drive home from Calgary that weekend to watch TC and apparently now that weekend trip is toast. **** you, soccer...once again, you've proven how useless you are. Report
May 19, 201510 yr comment_119886 If it's where I'm thinking it is I'm pretty sure you can bring a lawn chair and sit, your vantage point won't be terrific though being at field level. Report
May 19, 201510 yr comment_119888 Why wouldn't they just have it in the old pan am stadium? There should still be grass there. Report
May 19, 201510 yr comment_119889 It's not the first time it's happened. I remember Rod's field being used Ritchie's first year although I can't remember why. At least they had some wooden stands to sit in there. Report

May 19, 201510 yr comment_119891 I watched practice there a few times last year. The vantage point is pretty bad as you're on the same level as the players, but the Bombers did allow fans in to watch. This is disappointing though. Report
May 19, 201510 yr comment_119893 The last time they were there the fans could not get inside the chain link fence so you really could not see when they were at the end of the field. My son and I had planned to go and watch them but not too sure we will if we can not get inside the fence. I'm not sure why they decided that but they had a security guy to keep us out. Report

May 19, 201510 yr comment_119900 Women's soccer - there's literally going to be tens of fans there. Wow this sucks. Report
May 19, 201510 yr comment_119904 Fwiw, WBB FC has since deleted their tweet to me, so here's hoping that they receive some serious backlash and make other arrangements... Report
May 19, 201510 yr comment_119905 Kinda shocked we don't get to watch camp.. That the team didn't factor in that many would want to.. Maybe we need to make some noise and see if anything shakes loose.. Report
May 19, 201510 yr comment_119906 Fwiw, WBB FC has since deleted their tweet to me, so here's hoping that they receive some serious backlash and make other arrangements... Social media to the rescue! I'd imagine if enough email, tweets and phone calls hit the service lines they will figure out a way to make it work.. Report
May 19, 201510 yr comment_119908 Closing training camp to the public would be one of the biggest mistakes this club has made in recent memory. Report
