Football players from area high schools, universities and amateur clubs will all take the field at the new Stade Moncton 2010 Stadium during Scotiabank Touchdown Atlantic Week, and tickets are now on sale.
Organizing co-chairman Brent Scrimshaw said with so many CFL players in town that week – both pro teams will be in Metro Moncton by Sept. 21 – fans can expect some special extras will take place during each game.
For many of the players involved it will be a once in a lifetime experience, playing on the City of Moncton’s state-of-the art field in a 20,000 seat stadium on the Université de Moncton campus.
