CPL = Canadian Premier League

and by the title i mean it should be pretty interesting in regards to how it ends up faring. it could either be a massive success or absolute failure, and could definitely be a huge boost to the canadian national team and soccer in general here.

there's pretty much a 99.9% chance of the Ottawa Fury joining (with FC Edmonton hopefully tagging along), as well as several CFL ownership groups who have announced interest in running a CPL team.

if all goes well, the inaugural season should look like this (these are the major front-runners), capacity is of the largest/most plausible stadium possible:
-Edmonton (capacity: 56000) -- filter is being stupid, ignore.
-Calgary (capacity: 37000)
-Winnipeg (capacity: 33000)
-Ottawa (capacity: 24000) -- filter is being stupid again
-Regina (capacity: 30000)
-Hamilton (capacity: 24000)
-London (capacity: 8000)
-Victoria (capacity: 3800)

with these cities probably being the 9th and 10th if the league decides to be bold and start with ten, which i highly doubt will happen:
-Quebec City (capacity: 12250)
-Halifax/Moncton (capacity: new stadium for halifax/10000 for moncton)

fyi the league is trying to avoid interfering with MLS clubs so that's why there isn't going to be a vancouver, montreal, or toronto club (at least for now).

biggest concern IMO is having attendance at the CFL stadiums have fans spread out all over the place and thus be dead in terms of atmosphere. smaller stadiums shouldn't have this issue, but unfortunately most of the stadiums are at minimum MLS sized.

personally i'll definitely try to go to a few London games if they get a team and tickets are cheap enough.

also, edmonton might potentially play at the much more realistic (in terms of capacity) 5000 capacity clarke stadium, although i think it needs renovation to be viable and wouldn't be nearly as much of a potential success as commonwealth stadium.

Clarke Stadium is literally the worst possible choice for a multitude of reasons.

Also knowing the FC Edmonton ownership it's pretty doubtful that the team will join the CPL unless they have no other choice to keep the team alive.

well with the NASL literally on its last breaths they'll probably join the USL and then probably the CPL.

It's basically a 80% chance that the team joins the USL if the NASL actually dies, and a 19% chance that the team ceases to exist. The Fath Group for some reason wants absolutely nothing to do with a Canadian domestic league.

Also can't the MLS clubs put their development teams in this?

I really hope they don't because that will stunt CPL growth and make it considered a development league.
