CRAZY prices! The seats are more comfortable and have backs on all of them which my husband really likes. I stay in my wheelchair and have a great view from our seats. We sat on the press box side, upper deck, found it strange how high up we were. Also you could not see the lower section so it felt as if you we sitting with only about 3, fans.
Washrooms were small, concessions were quick, reasonably priced! Many older people had trouble walking all those stairs. Stadium should have been built anywhere but a residential neighbourhood, best part about an NFL game is tailgating, can't be done at Tim Horton's field. It has maintained the great sight lines of its predecessor but whoever planned for services should be immediately dismissed. My family attended the Canadian Women's preliminary versus England recently and reminiscent of Ivor Wynne, parking is virtually impossible to find.
More importantly the concessions are very limited and resulted in massive lines. After waiting for half an hour to finally order, we were informed that they had run out of food!
And this was before the game had even started. As a result our dinner consisted of stale popcorn and sodas. The management of the venue should look at other stadiums where food and beverage opportunities are not just the standard counter fare, they have pop-ups and carts and importantly in-seat service with a selection greater than just cans of beer. Two big complaints. The stadium is in a residential area with little parking.
You have to find on-street parking or small lot parking at stores and businesses in the area, then walk several blocks to the field.
We are seniors so this was a big issue for us. Last night, Team Canada women's soccer against Team England kicked off at pm. I went to get some food at pm. The service moved at glacial speed. At pm the concession stands on the level ran out of pizza. I got the last order of nachos before they ran out of those too. I concede that there were other items available but we like to stick to name brand items cooked at high temperature so pizza is perfect.
Next time, we will either eat at home and get there early to park closer or just avoid the frustration watch the game on TV. We attended the Canada vs England Women's soccer game on 29 May, attended by about 24, The view of the pitch was excellent, as was the view of Hamilton and surroundings. The escarpment beyond. The last decade or so has been tough for the Cats. But if you think they'll just fade away, you should talk to Oliver Zlatanovski.
He's with Cleanol, which got the job of removing the logos on display on the Ivor Wynne turf all season long. They had to be replaced with the logos of the companies that pay the big bucks for the Grey Cup bang. Oliver knew the removal job was always easy at the Skydome. There, they just paint the logos in latex. Around Ivor Wynne, they put them on tough, in oil paint. And when Cleanol showed up with six trucks and equipment that normally cleans carpets, the job did not go well.
That staff of six was all day getting rid of two modest-sized logos. So out-of-town had to be rushed in, the big trucks of Metro Mobile Wash. And on a day not long ago, those men with their high-pressure wands were still having a very hard time in the end zone to the west.
A giant tiger - the pride of Hamilton, even though there will be no Cup this year - would not be erased easily. Two men in rubber blasted away. The tiger fought back. It would take the pair all day to bring the beast down.
When you see that end zone on Grey Cup day, it will say Dodge Trucks. But come spring, the big cat comes back to old Ivor Wynne. The stadium was built in , just a seat facility erected for the British Empire Games. In the Hamilton Tiger Cats took up permanent residence in the stadium, and by the late 50s new bleachers were added to the east side of the stadium to increase capacity. So the city and the team engaged in yet another round of upgrades and renovations, bringing seating capacity up to 30, seats; in the 90s new corporate boxes were added, upgraded player facilities, upgraded sound system, all in time for the city to host the Grey Cup.
In , the coup de grace was added to the stadium — the largest outdoor video board in Canada and the fifth largest in North America. The TigerVision board is clearly the jewel of the stadium.
The narrow streets around the stadium are bustling with fans before the game, mixed in with street vendors and musical entertainers. The seating bowl here is mostly bench seating, save for chairbacks on the lower sidelines. On the west side is the pressbox and suite tower, while the north end zone below the TigerVision board are canopied corporate party tents.
For many Canadians, this represents the best football weekend of the year. Well, maybe only after the Grey Cup or college football Vanier Cup.
On Labour Day age old rivalries play themselves out in packed stadiums and national television audiences. Adding to this day was the quest by Toronto Argonauts quarterback Damon Allen to become the most prolific passer in professional football history. He needed passing yards to eclipse the record of 70, yards held by Warren Moon.
It was the last show of the North American Tour so in a dramatic finale, Pink Floyd's crew decided to go out with a bang and used up their remaining pyrotechnics around the stadium scoreboard.
