argh1 Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Yes from that part of Canada , just a little south-east of BUTT CRACK NO-WHERE []. Where profesional sports is something you see on television or travel huge distances to see and probably always will be . The Final for New / Nouveau Brunswick's representive to the Challenge Cup will be decided between Moncton First Touch & Fundy United . Moncton beat New Maryland United ( Fredericton ) & will play Fundy United ( Saint John ) who recieved a bye to the final by being the top N.B. team in the P.E.I.-N.B. Senior League . EDIT : Jubilee Cup representitve will be decided this weekend as well. Fredericton and Saint John meet to see who plays Moncton in the final. All at Rocky Stone Memorial Field which seats maybe 3,500 with temporary seating but with brand new FieldTurf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, c'mon you coulda made it sound much more complicated than that ! After exiting the TCH from Nova Scotia take Wheeler Blvd heading west. Take the last exit before Riverview which would be St. George Blvd. east exit . Ah forget it we're a small town with three main streets . Main St. , Mountain Rd. , and St. George it can't be done unless you're a CABBIE [)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact supporter Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 argh1: Questions re: Rocky Stone Memorial Field and Canada Games Stadium How many spectators can each hold (maximum) and can they be expanded Is there a track around the fields? If a pro team comes to New Brunswick (as part of a Canadian League or as part of the USL) which stadium would be ideal? Are there any photos of the stadiums??

If a pro team comes to New Brunswick (as part of a Canadian League or as part of the USL) which stadium would be ideal? Are there any photos of the stadiums?? Well happy to answer what I can. First of all I was being a bit of a dick about the post besides posting New Brunswick soccer results . Since I enjoy picking on our larger centres (esp. T-O ) and I live in a city of 120,000 and I still think they're counting household pets too. So we're in the Kelowna , Kingston , Peterboro , Trois-Rivieres ,Thunder Bay range of cities. But I'll still post my opinions freely even though whatever happens for soccer in T-O or any-other of our large centres won't affect my reality. So, to answer your questions . No I can't see pro soccer here travel alone would kill us. But a Maritime Senior League may hopefully be workable some-day. I can't find much for you on the fields . Except to say Rocky Stone is used mostly by High School 3 down football and Minor 3 down football. So it's your typical High School football field . All seating is bleachers and the city puts up those metal temp bleachers for anything special. Can't find any-thing to show you except a map of Centennial Park Rectagular bit on extreme right UNBSJ FIELD .....Canada Games Stadium At least there's a picture .

argh1 Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 Yeah that's it guy. Tennis courts, lawn bowling and horseshoe pits to the left. Man made wave pool top left. That's our little football field . Overhead view of Centennial park's main entrance road. As with most things in Moncton temp bleachers are added as needed.Like I said your typical High School field. How'd you manage to get those pic's ? You're a better surfer than I , my friend. EDIT: OKAY......this is the 3 or I lost count beer later edit...... My favourite temp bleachers at any event are those ones that fold out of those transport trailers. The trucks roll in and open the side of the trailer and pull out bleachers with some concession selling on the roof of the trailer.But pick your trailer, the Tim Horton's sponsored, the McDonalds, the pizza joint, etc. I prefer the Moosehead, Labatts or Molson trailers. Depends on your taste? Damn I'm small town [)] With those you can make any field, beach , parade route, baseball , softball type event a small stadium. It's free enterprise guys , you pay this much to park your trailer and sell as much as you can. All for the price of a general admision ticket.

argh1 Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 aussoccerfan if you're that interested this would maybe be the best pic of facilities in that end of town. Rocky Stone , tennis courts and lawnbowling in Centennial Park in the foreground and the CN Sportplex the background. Six bluegrass soccer fields to the right, 4 Ice Centre in the middle and 10 baseball fields to the left.This also is where the dome will go up this year adding two inside fields. It's called the CN Sportplex because untill say 15 (?) years ago that's where the CN and before that Intercolonial Railway shops were. LINK HERE Thanks for providing the link to the photo gallery, my friend. I will also bore you with one of my favourite summertime haunts Kiwanis Park picture If you notice the stands don't go all the way down the left field line because that's where the bullpens are.
