If the match is at THF away fans scattered amongst the locals will not be a very good idea at all! I think its a lot less than half of the US fanbase for soccer that's not vaxxed.. In general the demographic and political leanings of hardcore soccer fans in the US are not aligned w/the demographic and political leanings of someone who isn't vaxxed....

I don't think cold should be a reason to every cancel this game as concacaf.( Snow is another thing all together but whatever) Consider they make us play in fuckstick hondouras at 3 pm in the afternoon the USA and everyone else can stfo and play in the North. If they have an issue with it then might as well force Mexico out of azteca and make panama build a dome Edited November 18, 2021 by Canucklehead69 gator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of cold those would be the two that I would say are the places I would consider to be the "most frigid" Interesting about Regina I didn't know that. If we really want to keep the Americans out those two and Ottawa are probably the best bets tbh. Ottawa is a pretty big pain to get to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free kick Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) Stadium Information - Winnipeg Blue Bombers it makes no mention whether its FIFA approved or not. If its not mentioned, this likely means that its not FIFA approved. then again, the bigger question might be: what does FIFA approved mean? is it a restrictions on certain suppliers? is it based inspections? etc etc . lots that we really dont know about this subject.
