Great but with exceptions

It was a great event, a lot of fun. Pros - well attended, great weather, great people. Cons - long lines, ran out of the half decent beverages and not enough washrooms/ too far away. I knew the location well so i just keep going to the pub onsite (got better drinks there too) but I do appreciate that the sponsor was local. Would attend again
Besides running out of beer in the tailgate section, a big no-no in Nova Scotia, the location of the bathrooms in the Stadium area was lacking. We bought tickets near midfield, and there were no bathrooms anywhere near our seats, despite we bought the top level seats. It appears people who spend considerably less to be in the party zone, had more convenient amenities. A major disappointment was the seating. Uncomfortable would be a kind word to describe the seating. To avoid jamming my knees into the person sitting in front of me, I crunched my legs under my seat for the entire game. Sadly, the person behind me wasn’t so thoughtful and I had their knee in my back many times over 4 quarters. And let’s not even talk about the process of someone trying to leave the row. There was nowhere for me to move except to stand on my own seat to provide the person minimal space to get past and out of our aisle. If this is what the proposed CFL team for Halifax is offering, I think I would like my deposit back.
Argos won so who cares about anything else St. Mary's University did a Great job hosting
The atmosphere was great as the CFL is an exciting brand of football. The crowd was friendly and enthusiastic. The only negative was the temporary stands. With no backs to the benches, my back was sore by the half. The space per seat was extremenly tight. It was quite uncomfortable being jammed shoulder to shoulder with my seat mates. I would have to think seriously about buying season tickets for a team that used these temporary stands. Love the game but not the seating.
The Good. Musical entertainment was stout. Booths around the tailgate zone were fun. Seating was a bit tight, but OK. Crowd was in a party mood all day. Great to see every team in the league represented by at least one fan. The Bad Would be nice to have parking somewhere a little closer. Location of the bathrooms (portajohns) in relation to the seating was ridiculous. Surely they could have found a way to bring some closer to the stadium.
Great day, very well organized and quick easy access to the venue. Should have toilets closer to the bleachers on the section 4 side and would love to have been able to purchase CFL merchandise even if it’s just the two teams that are playing. Such an awesome event and look forward to it next year.
Overall, great experience & venue! Each year, it's a boys only thing but they let me tag along this year....I had a ball! Transport in = easy Entrance access = multiple choices and smooth Pre game events = FUN! Bands, food, drinks were all great! We had great seats and it was a large venue so lots of place to catch some shade.
Third time going and just loved. This year was even better. Traffic flow, parking and halifax transit got everyone in and out quickly. Very well organized. We will be back
Craft beer sucked and prices were outrageous!! Why couldn't there have been some regular drinks available? I get the "support local"but Oland Brewery is locate and their product is drinkable.
