There's typically only two reasons why Edmonton gets consideration for this kinds of events:
1. Commonwealth is the only grass stadium in Canada capable of seating over 50thousand people. Pretty sad, but true.
2. Edmonton tends to draw well from the Calgary region as well, and since the Calgary-Edmonton region tends to be the wealthiest in the country, there's a higher chance of selling out.
Frankly, I'm pretty bummed Edmonton likely isn't getting a friendly, I was pretty stoked about going. Even though I'm moving to Southern Ontario for school, I doubt it'll be in time to make a trip to TO.

Its tough to say... who would think they could get almost 40k people there for a friendly between the Whitecaps and the Galaxy?
Probably couldn't draw like Toronto for sure, but Montreal is a pretty finicky sporting city, they could sell out the O, or have empty sections at Saputo, depending on the day.

The Montreal Impact have an average of 11 000 spectators. That's almost a packed stadium. For a USL club that's great. When they played the CONCACAF CL at the Big O we had close to 60 000. Same at the U-20's a couple of years ago.
For events Montreal are known to pack stadiums. The Expos f*cked everytrhing but that's not our fault. They f*cked us up in 94 and the last few years before they left.
