Jcm144 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I was wondering when this was going to get released. This tournament is creeping up, July is not that fare away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will we be able to host it wonder 3cities(MLS cities) and maybe in near future Ottawa and Edmonton are more than enough IMHO. After all we don't need to host it in a Dozen locations like the US is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFC07 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Canada in tough group with Mexico and Panama? I am assuming Canada will be playing against their B team in this tournament though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob.notenboom Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Wow ... rough for ppl in the East ... LA, Seattle, and Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 West Coast home run! (Well, no, a home run would have had Portland instead of Denver, but still a solid West Coast standup double). See you guys in Seattle at least. Probably Los Angeles. Denver would require the cooperation of the work gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob.notenboom Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Surely they could of done the 3 in some sort of sensible order right? I suspect they had to work around each venue's schedule ... however, this might be giving them too much credit. Being in Portland instead of LA would have made going to a couple of games much easier. Then again Seattle, Miami, LA would have made significantly less sense. LA to Seattle - 1800km Seattle to Denver - 2100km If you were thinking of road trip, those are manageable distances over the time span. Beautiful drives as well.

There will certainly be some people who want tickets only, given the timing: you can take the day off work and see two games, or just leave the office early and see that one that matters. Plus border delays make a bus not quite as reliable as the train or a car. I'm hassling the Southsiders board about a bus as well because they have expertise and contacts in the area.

Making LA the first stop just makes it such a pain in the ass, and then having to go back to Seattle for 2 and then right back south really is annoying.

True. How about this: July 6th - Fly to Vancouver. Attend Caps vs. Sounders. Take the Red Eye to LA. July 7th - Go to Disneyland. Leave early. Go to the Rose Bowl for Canada vs. Martinique July 8th to 11th - Bus tour through wine country and up the Pacific Coast arriving just in time for ... July 11th - Canada vs. Mexico in Seattle July 12th - Bus through Washington State and discover the amazing geological history of the channeled scablands. Continue on to Salt Lake where everyone is converted to Mormonism and no one ever leaves to attend ... okay ... just jokes. July 13th - Arrive in Colorado and climb a 14er July 14th - Canada vs. Panama in Denver. July 15th - Fly home and enter detox. DontPanic ... get 'er done!

Sam Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I really can't do more than one game - so I think I'm probably going to do Seattle and just wait on someone to set up a central hotel where we'll all be staying. Thank you CONCACAF for making sure watching the Gold Cup is going to be as expensive as possible for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More the merrier! We are already arranging that stuff. Let's see what the response is, but it may be better just to arrange tickets. We'll see what people say.
