Nothing wrong with commonwealth just the fact that soccer isn’t all that entertaining and the tickets prices don’t reflect the demand. If tickets were $5 they could get 20-30k out and maybe start building some fans outside the base.
The Wanderers Ground started life as a baseball field, before being used for a variety of sports including North American football. The team itself played it's first game in 2019 and were runner's up in 2020. The stands are indeed temporary but with plenty of ex-pat Brits here in Halifax, the atmosphere at the games is great.
@@juliansmith4295 Well, I wasn't around in the 1880s but remember reading about cricket being played there! When I was a kid, it was baseball and a great place to watch a game. The cricket played on the weekends at the Commons is pretty good quality.
@@SilvanaDil both things could be true? Yes there are American High School stadiums better than this one and also Yes Wanderers ground is a nice place to watch a football match.
Love your cheeky comments about Canada’s football infrastructure (yes, I am a Canadian who calls the sport what everyone else in the world calls it). 🇨🇦 Watch out for Canadian teams in the future. Ice hockey is still the number one sport, but it’s expensive for equipment and ice time. Football is actually the most widely played sport among children and Canada is gradually building its development leagues. I don’t expect a World Cup in my lifetime, but Canada will continue to move up in the rankings and field competitive teams. Cheers!
I've been to a couple games at Starlight Stadium. It's imperfect, but there's ample standing room around the venue which is great. I can't wait until it expands. I've also seen one game at ATCO field. The columns were kind of a pain and they made me feel distant from the action. It's nice to see the CPL growing and finding its footing in these first few years of its existence.
with you on Atco Field. The vibes & experience outside the stands though is fantastic as Spruce Meadows is geared for tourists. Needs a bit more improvement on the stands for the fans, vibes though are good as its the only footie club in the city, cant wait to see it grow :)
@@_Vancelvany_ I would kill to see a stand on the west side, but not sure how'd they'd accommodate that. The opening of Stoney makes getting there easier as well.
unless they are from a country like England where that's what they call it there. I still call the vacuum cleaner "the hoover" however I always call "articulated lorries" trucks or tractor trailers. Sometimes I call gas "petrol" but usually I call it gas. I used to call hockey hockey but sometimes call it ice hockey because my family in England thought I was talking about running around a field with a little stick when I said hockey.
@Channel Name I agree, I moved to the Prairies a couple of years ago and they call lunch "dinner" and I'm getting used to that one. They call an employee a "hired man" and that one doesn't come as easily to me :) but its the spice of life. If everybody looked the same we'd get tired of looking at each other.
So I coach the University (Canadian) Football Team at York U and the stadium is awesome to watch a game at and is next door to a subway station. Only wish they would fill out the rest of the area surrounding it.
Nice one man! I think it’s pretty cool having a professional soccer team playing on a university campus. I’m managing York United on Football Manager this year and really enjoying it. Hoping to visit Toronto in the future (from UK) and might come to a match at the stadium!
Aside from Vancouver Whitecaps of MLS, I didn't even know there was a team called Vancouver FC, and I'm from Vancouver. They've been around for only 5 months, so no wonder... It tells you how little CPL has been promoted here.
The reason you didn't know there was a team called Vancouver whitecaps aside from the MLS team is because there isn't another of Vancouver whitecaps team. There was only one, the CPL team is Pacific FC
I support & watch Cavalry FC games @ Spruce Meadows. Man, the Atco Field stands sucks especially those pillars! Really divides (no pun intended) the view especially for me who loves watching the team hold it shape. But the fans make it a great watch, feels like a low tier English club but that's its charm. Matchday has decent space outside the stands for fans to eat, drink, and picnic around so has a community feel to it.
How about giving us your top 10 stadium names Stadium of Light ( Benfica) Eden Gardens San Siro Madison Square Garden La Bombonera Beaver Stadium Parc de Princes The Tin The Tub The cabbage patch
Actually the Halifax Citadel that you see today was built when the British and Americans didn't get along. Most fortifications in Canada date from then. Including the walls of Quebec City.
Starlight will be getting stands along the empty, north, side soon; they can finally do that as over the winter the tall electricity transmission tower (or in local parlance, the hydro pole) that was in the way was moved to the opposite side of the road.
I’m loving how this dive into stadiums is getting so deep. Future recommendations Byron Rec Ground , Harrow. It’s got a skateboard park, swings and sits next to a crap leisure centre My parents back garden. I once kicked a football into the greenhouse there and blamed my sister My patchy lawn, recently mowed. By me- but fat chance I’ll get my teenage son near it. And there you have it. Bits of grass where I once tried some exercise. Join me next time, when I look for fluff in my navel (In all seriousness- your narration as always is on point sir)
Now you gotta go down the Canadian Football pryamid, recommend checking out some of the venues in League1 Ontario but especially League1 BC or the PLSQ
It must be crazy to be the MLS teams from Canada and play in some of the best and most modern stadiums and then pplaying cup games at some of these stadiums
The Wanderer's star shape looks much more Muslim than Jewish. That kind of eight-pointed star is common in Islamic designs, whereas the Jewish star of David is a six-pointed star. Those blue colours are indeed more typical of a traditional Jewish aesthetic, however.
I love IG Field, but I really wish they would build a smaller sized stadium for CPL and not use the multi-purpose IG Field. Valour should have a 5-10k stadium. I much prefer a closer setting!
Every Canadian citizen must be within a quarter mile of an ice hockey rink. No way. Canada is a very sparsely populated country. Some Canadians must live 200 miles from a Hockey stadium.
yes soccer as quardlepleen said but Hamilton, Ottawa and the Winnipeg stadium host Canadian Football teams (American football with a few rule differences).
That's because, capitalist geniuses that they are, the owners decided to move to streaming service only tv deal after two years on CBC (one of which was a pandemic year in which all teams played on a sports field in PEI with no fans and electronic advertising superimposed on the screen that often covered the ball when in flight). New league with literally zero exposure.
You can be forgiven for that. It only had its inaugural season in 2019 and then Covid put a wrench in the next couple seasons. The MLS teams, not surprisingly, get most of the attention.
Hopefully FC Edmonton will return when we get a better stadium, need to build over repurpose as everything else in the city is too big or too small.
Nothing wrong with commonwealth just the fact that soccer isn’t all that entertaining and the tickets prices don’t reflect the demand. If tickets were $5 they could get 20-30k out and maybe start building some fans outside the base.
Fc Edmonton never had a proper stadium or fans and same goes for York. The teams in BC, Halifax and Calgary did it right with there grounds...
Hopefully

The big power lines at Starlight have been moved to the other side of the street. It's ready for expansion 😁
Calgary's ATCO field and its equestrian connection fits the city weirdly well, given its Stampede/Rodeo history.
it does but me thinks the grounds need a little more footie love!
@@_Vancelvany_ I would kill to see a stand on the west side, but not sure how'd they'd accommodate that. The opening of Stoney makes getting there easier as well.

Not even 5 months either really, they've quite literally played 3 games total so far, but yes, the promotion is a little underwhelming
The reason you didn't know there was a team called Vancouver whitecaps aside from the MLS team is because there isn't another of Vancouver whitecaps team. There was only one, the CPL team is Pacific FC
@@georgerush8437 There's also a Vancouver FC in the CPL too though. It's a newly expanded club this season
@@differstig9751 what??!!! Ok well I am mistaken then, I only knew of one Vancouver based cpl team
atleast you have 2 pro teams unlike us here in Edmonton
I love these videos. So interesting to see the different grounds

A handful of these are also CFL stadiums.
3 to be exact. TD Place, Tim Horton's Place, and IG Field are shared with the CFL.
How about giving us your top 10 stadium names
Stadium of Light ( Benfica)
Eden Gardens
San Siro
Madison Square Garden
La Bombonera
Beaver Stadium
Parc de Princes
The Tin
The Tub
The cabbage patch
The Pacific FC stadium cannot build the other side, it is literally against the road. Minutes from our house, not a bad place. 🤷🇨🇦
IG Field, Mosaic Stadium are the best outside stadiums in Canada.
Mosaic is the best for sure but IG is pretty decent :)
@@neilwhitaker6284 I love IG more. Just a different style. Mosiac is great but looks like other stadiums from Europe.
@@DIDDYKONG916 fair enough I live in Sask now so I'm biased :)
The real Ottawa team folded rather than join the CPL. They were way better. TFC and MTL and VAN were not forced to join. It was gross.
It is a growing league and is doing well despite the stupidity of Canada Soccer and that retarded CSB deal.
Thanks for another video!
Can you please make one about Portuguese leagues?
Stay tuned. It'll be uploaded soon.

Get some updated Wanderers Grounds photo, mate.
We have the best set up/fan base in the league 🤙

Every Canadian citizen must be within a quarter mile of an ice hockey rink. No way. Canada is a very sparsely populated country. Some Canadians must live 200 miles from a Hockey stadium.
nearest town to me is 20 miles but often a local build a rink next to his house for his children if that counts!

I live within 600m of a hockey rink, but that was clearly a joke by the channel.

"Land of curling" shows video of badminton (haha).
Yeah that didn’t give this added credibility tbh
