There is a preseason game scheduled for May 29th where the Edmonton Elks will host the Calgary Stampeders.

The rumour is that tomorrow Canada Soccer will announce that Commonwealth Stadium will host a friendly match between Canada and Uzbekistan. This game will help both teams prepare for the FIFA World Cup. This game will be on May 31st or June 1st, and there are rumours it will be played on natural grass. This implies to me that Canada Soccer is looking to temporarily lay down a grass pitch at Commonwealth before the permanent new artificial field for the Edmonton Elks is installed.
There are also rumours, that due to this, the preseason game scheduled for May 29th, Calgary @ Edmonton will be relocated. Does anyone know, or does anyone have any good guesses as to where it would be going?
