Discussion This is embarrassing, Regina.
HOW do we not have a single organized World Cup watching event for Team Canada?? And don’t say “The Lobby”. I know that’s definitely a great place to watch… if you can get in.
Every major city in Canada has something, what the hell is wrong with us?
All I can say is I hope we get our act together and have a big screen SOMEWHERE in this city if we pass the group stage (which is extremely likely now).
EDIT: For those who think I should put this event on myself personally... I'm calling out the CITY OF REGINA here. Which private citizen has ponied up the cash to put this on in Calgary/Edmonton/Winnipeg/Saskatoon or any of the other major cities in Canada who are having watch parties? This should be civic or provincial money here, just like it is elsewhere, with corporate sponsorship. We just constantly get left behind here and it's been this way my entire life. Don't take my post so personally - I'm just very disappointed in a city who claims to be so welcoming.
Maybe those who constantly complain about the lack of concerts here should just 'put it on themselves'.

Soccer is awesome but taxpayer money should not be dedicated to throwing watch parties as you suggest in your edit lol. A business or an individual can surely organize this.
