May 19, 201510 yr comment_119948 Also people seriously saying that the FIFA WOMEN'S WORLD CUP be held at the Soccer Complex? You might not be a fan but don't be so closed minded.. Absolutely right. This is a huge snag for Winnipeg' sports community due to its popularity, and it will make great use of this facility. Win-win for Winnipeg. This event should be applauded by the city...even though it does displace our favorite team. Report

May 19, 201510 yr comment_119956 **** soccer....even before this all went down... You may not like the sport but it is still very popular AND our canadian women's team is unreal. If this world class event pushes our bombers out of the stadium for a week, oh well. It's not like this isn't the biggest soccer event in the world or anything.. Report

At least now we have a reason for why we didn't win the 2015 Grey Cup...women's soccer. Our new enemy. Report

I'm temporarily holding out hope that my trip can be saved if they come up with some sort of answer to the seating problem, but I'm not particularly excited at this point. Was REALLY looking forward to chilling in the sunshine at IGF for a weekend... Report

I'm temporarily holding out hope that my trip can be saved if they come up with some sort of answer to the seating problem, but I'm not particularly excited at this point. Was REALLY looking forward to chilling in the sunshine at IGF for a weekend... Me too. Part of the attraction was the ability to sit in the stands at IGF and drink it all in. But if the plan is "bring your own chair" and park beside a pasture, no thanks. I really feel bad for the players though, for a lot of the US based ones, I'm thinking that the last time they would have had practice conditions like this would have been high school, maybe. But anyway let's hear it for women's soccer... Report
May 19, 201510 yr comment_119975 50 to 100 people max will check out bombers training camp. Maybe a bigger crowd on day 1 but generally maybe there are 50 people there not including day 1. Most are media. Fact is the soccer out draws a bomber training camp. Report

Most are media. Fact is the soccer out draws a bomber training camp. "Maybe a bigger crowd on day 1" There were thousands on day 1 last year. I think that deserves a bit more credit than a "maybe" Report

Most are media. Fact is the soccer out draws a bomber training camp. "Maybe a bigger crowd on day 1.". Lol yeah just a bit. I've been there on day 1 with well over 3000 people in the stands. Report
May 19, 201510 yr comment_119980 Its not about TC out-drawing soccer anyways. TC is free, obviously it can't compete with a paid event. It's about the Bombers taking this opportunity to lock fans out and saying "oops, sorry, nothing we can do! Please buy season tickets though!" Report
May 19, 201510 yr comment_119983 I don't claim to actually know the answer to this question but how expensive could it really be to put up temporary bleachers to seat a couple hundred people for training camp? If you need to recoup the money, set up a hot dog cart. It's tradition that we get to observe training camp and it's going to really bum me out if we have to rely on the media for our TC report fix, because the content quite frankly is nowhere near as good as what we get from the fan community.

May 19, 201510 yr comment_119984 Boo soccer but lots of people like it Soccer and cricket will always be the same for me. Millions love both sports, yet all I see when I watch them is paint drying. Report
May 19, 201510 yr comment_119985 There is plenty of room at that field for a couple of hundred fans. It's been used for high school games, and was the host site for the Red River Cup (u-16) tournament a couple of years ago. They brought in a mobile trailer that converted into some bleachers. It's an artificial turf field, and it a very good surface (so not a "pasture"). For the hardcore fan, it's not a bad venue. Report

Darn it all. Report
