The Wanderers Ground started life as a baseball field, before being used for a variety of sports including North American football. The team itself played it's first game in 2019 and were runner's up in 2020. The stands are indeed temporary but with plenty of ex-pat Brits here in Halifax, the atmosphere at the games is great.

I've been to a couple games at Starlight Stadium. It's imperfect, but there's ample standing room around the venue which is great. I can't wait until it expands. I've also seen one game at ATCO field. The columns were kind of a pain and they made me feel distant from the action. It's nice to see the CPL growing and finding its footing in these first few years of its existence.

Love your cheeky comments about Canada’s football infrastructure (yes, I am a Canadian who calls the sport what everyone else in the world calls it). 🇨🇦 Watch out for Canadian teams in the future. Ice hockey is still the number one sport, but it’s expensive for equipment and ice time. Football is actually the most widely played sport among children and Canada is gradually building its development leagues. I don’t expect a World Cup in my lifetime, but Canada will continue to move up in the rankings and field competitive teams. Cheers!

Really divides (no pun intended) the view especially for me who loves watching the team hold it shape. But the fans make it a great watch, feels like a low tier English club but that's its charm. Matchday has decent space outside the stands for fans to eat, drink, and picnic around so has a community feel to it.
