ohh wow, time to find an alternative venue?

[SlartyBartFast]

Move it to Montreal!

Probably a lot cheaper and they need more activities at the Olympic Stadium.

But, it seems fishy. The purchase of the Skydome isn't that new, the Skydome should have been subject to cancellation fines, and the Skyball8 website has been unchanged for a LONG time.

Me thinks there were other problems.....

D'oh! That blows. That's about the only chance I get to buy paintball gear at a decent price. I was looking forward to picking up a few things. Oh well.

Hell yeah ... play some klller games and then spend the night on Saint Catherines drinking and hitting the strip clubs

Hell I'd just be floating between Mad Hatters and the irish pub across the street from it. Only place in Montreal I could find Tartan.

I expect it had a lot to do with lack of team interest - normally if they state it wasn't this reason, this reason turns out to have been a factor.

[Creative Mayhem]

This sucks... I like heading down to the 'Dome for some beverages and some ball, oh well...


FYI, there really is a crane on the floor and it cannot be moved anytime soon. How do I know this? A family friend is the crane operator.

Someone has started a petition, but I doubt it will do any good:

Yes, as seen from many other online petitions such as the "Stop Ashlee Simpson" one, this will definetely work. I wonder why people even bother with those anymore.

Anyways, I've never been to skyball nor have any intention of going any time soon, but it is a disappointment to hear that it had to be cancelled because of this.

Skyball has always been a fun time. In a way I am glad it is canceled...that means I will not miss it again this year

While you can find Tartan in many other pubs in Montreal besides Hurley's, I hope you tried some of the Home Brew at Brutopia.

Not that I'm biased because my family owns a share in the place.....

But not only is it REALLY good beer, it's the cheepest beer on Crescent St.

[BigBadBeDDy]

this makes me a sad panda

[Muzikman]

Problem with Montreal is you guys don't like us english speaking folk

First time I was ever to Montreal I went with some people from the Toronto area and I was shocked at how rude the locals were to their fellow Canadians.

[lopxtc]

You know in the 3 1/2 months I was there I never made it there. Most of the time I spent drinking at the "Cock and Bull" since I had a ton of good friends there. Went the Jell-o Bar now and then when a good band was playing, or to Hurleys (couldnt remember the name) when I want to here some good Irish jig music playing.

Okay man I miss Montreal now ... I was staying on Peel street so I was pretty much in the center of all the areas I wanted to hit for night life. Thankfully avoided the Peel Pub as often as I could ...

I'll have to hit you up the next time I am in Montreal and check out this place with ya.
