alberta white Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 ...Stop Press.... From twitter. MacDonald Island @MacDonaldIsland 1h The @FCEdmontonNow game in 2015 will be played at SMS Equipment Stadium @shellplace & will be first regular season pro game in #ymm history! Well, they do HAVE a stadium that's about the right size for an NASL team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alberta white Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Further Tweeting... MyMcMurray @MyMcMurray The team has committed to play a regular season game at the new Shell Place in both 2015 and 2016 #ymm So, committing to 2015 and 2016 looks like Tom,s not quite ready to throw that towel in for at least another couple of seasons.

Jason Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Pretty interesting. I would suspect that they will try to put a permanent tenant in that stadium. Junior football would probably be a good option for them, but I could also see pro soccer as an option too. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alberta white Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0CzCwJDOE0 But no cricket Oval! Hey don't laugh. I have a colleague who goes up to "The Mac" at regular intervals in the summer to visit family. Apparently the parks are teeming with immigrant kids attempting to place Leather upon Willow, steering it down past third man to the unguarded rope. (that's hit the Ball with a leather facing with a bat made of willow and making a boundary for 4 runs, in case the reference is too obscure for anyone) Pretty interesting. I would suspect that they will try to put a permanent tenant in that stadium. Junior football would probably be a good option for them, but I could also see pro soccer as an option too. Jason Fort McMurray Sandmen AFC playing NASL by 2020 would be a nice addition to FCE and the Calgary Spurs. (yeah I know Pipe dream. Actually that would probably be an Oil-pipe Dream c'est non?)
