We all knew the Maori All Blacks would trounce the Canadians BUT Canadians could have been more engaged with the game if players names were shown on the big screen after memorable plays (rugby players did not have their names on their shirts). The kicking game that ensued does not rouse a crowd - running and passing do. How about running a 50/50 draw and maybe some entertainment of sorts in the stands when the crowd lost interest and started leaving the stadium.
This game was amazing! The sense of community on both Canada and New Zealand's part was extraordinary! I love how they had both countries indigenous people perform at half time!!!
Amazing game. Even if you are not a rugby fan, you should still watch this game. A clinical display by the Maori All Blacks vs Canada. A lot of new rugby fans gained as some of the people around me had not been to a game before..... a lot better than CFL games for sure.
Game was too one sided in favour of Maori All Blacks
That was such a great time despite Canada's team being totally outclassed by the MAB. But we went to see them mostly anyway. Some terrific moves. The Canadian men's team need to work on their passing skills (not that I've ever played rugby). All in all I would highly recommend this and wish Vancouver would bring more rugby events into town. Reasonably priced too.
We bought the ticket and hotel combination and would definitely do it again. The hotel was close to the event and our seats were fabulous!!!
Fantastic experience from start to finish. A friend left her bike with the Bike Valet and it was safely collected at the end of the night. Upon entry the staff were super friendly, welcoming and made the entry process a breeze. The host in our section (209) was also fantastic - very personable, friendly, and made us feel very welcome and special among a huge crowd for this event. A fun night overall!
Had Front row seats for this outstanding event. Rugby Canada put on a good event, that was enjoyable to watch. Although Canada lost, but they faced very tough competition. Will help Canada build for the future. The halftime show was very good. Will be back for more rugby at BC Place.
It was great. The game is fast. Loved watching the team perform the Haka and again performed during the break. Seats were great. We were midfield and lower down so could see the game and the players easily.
Was my very first rugby game and it was unforgettable.
Great game. Lots of action. Rugby is a great sport and deserves more attention.
It was a really sunny day and the match was great!
I thoroughly enjoyed the rugby match between Canada vs USA. I found it very entertaining although there were moments I was confused as to what the teams were doing , more so as I am not very familiar with the game and it's rules . The experience was very pleasant non the less and would not hesitate to view another match in the not too distant future.
Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton is one of the best outdoor stadiums right now.
It was all good fun except that the staff at the entry didn't know where the team store was. We went in, got sent outside and then had to come back in again. All this to find a kids jersey which they never had!!! We got sent from outlet to outlet and all they had for kids were hoodies...it was 25 degrees and sunny!!!! The game was good fun though.
I just overall loved the atmosphere of he game and enjoyed it very much! I love he rugby team very much! Would go watch another game!
It is really hard to see so many rugby fans get together in supporting the Canada Team. We have tried our best to play as good as we need to be. However, skillset of the Italy Team is somehow higher than us. Anyway, looking forward to see more world class rugby game around in Toronto.
Canada played well and you definite get your money's worth
I love this place! Specially after the improvements. The energy of the people is always very high as well, be it for a Soccer game or a Rubgy game or a Football game.
