Atomic Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Let's just wait and see if they make arrangements for seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 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. max power, Harbaugh and MOBomberFan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbaugh Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 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.

JohnnyOnTheSpot Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbill2004 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 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.

LeBird Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 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.

SPuDS Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 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.. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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..

Mike Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Closing training camp to the public would be one of the biggest mistakes this club has made in recent memory. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
