My Trip To Commonwealth

Last friday I took a trip up to Edmonton with my girlfirend to watch the Calgary Stampeders play the Edmonton Eskimos at Commonwealth Stadium. This was my first time watching a football game in Edmonton and my first watching a CFL game live outside of Calgary. I must say I rather enjoyed it. Besides the fact the Stampeders won. It was nice to watch from a different locale. Commonwealth is a large stadium, much larger then what I'm accustomed too at McMahon Stadium. We were sitting in section F2, row 73. Which was pretty high up. But was still enjoyable to watch a football game.
Some of the things that were different to me. They sold mini donuts in the concourse. Much like you'd get at the Stampede or other fair type places. Plus, they sold hard liquor like rum and coke or baileys and hot chocolate. One complaint is the city has to do a better job of making it easier to get too and away from the stadium. We took a park 'n ride to get there. Which was good at first. But Edmonton's finest were doing a piss poor job of not controlling the traffic as they should have been. For what should of taken us 10 minutes, took us about 30 minutes to get there. After the game we too the LRT which was a zoo. There wasn't enough trains to accommodate all the passengers. So we had to waddle into the station like cattle and then wait for a train. It could of been much better. But I guess that's Edmonton for you. They do things a little different then the rest of the world.
Nonetheless I had a great time. I'll have to bring my camera next time and take some photos.
