Re: Argos vs. Lions Game Day Thread

Well... I'm disappointed. In both the result and the attendance. Unfortunately I am part of the reason for the latter, a family obligation prevented me from attending the game or even watching on TV... However early phone checks of the score were promising, it seems the D let us down in stretch as t...

Re: 22,000 sold for home opener

I hear you probably looks better on TV and the atmosphere was arguably better. The last couple seasons they had "cheap" (under $40) tickets and a party scene in the upper bowl which we miss... however it's all good just want to see the Lions draw crowds that make the upper bowl viable agai...

Re: 22,000 sold for home opener

I mean a lot of casual sports fans in their 20's and 30's I invite to games balk at $72 for red zone or even $53 for corner when you can go to a Canadians or Whitecaps game for half that and still be part of "an event". $90+ for the good seats is generally considered ridiculous. And I am t...

Re: 22,000 sold for home opener

Just came back from the game, yeah I was disappointed to see a few "holes" in the seating. Home opener against Sask would have thought 25,000 plus easy. The atmosphere was decent given the quality of the game but really with our population we should be doing 30,000+ on a regular basis. Lot...

Re: Riders vs. Lions July 10 Game Day Thread

As a further game day aside both times Crazy P came to rally our section (207) on D we erupted in furious chants of "D" - "Fence"... And on both occasions Dressler caught TD passes from Glenn. The curse of P was widely discussed and he got some grief from the Green boys in the se...

Re: Riders vs. Lions July 10 Game Day Thread

Arghhh! We left with 3 minutes left when the Riders got their final TD! In our defence so did thousands of others wearing the orange... Thought we would get a jump on the taxi scene. What a treat when we made it home to watch Sportscentre! Since the renovation of BC Place I have generally bought che...

Re: Who to cheer for/against?

Looking at the schedule I am a big Ottawa fan right now... They have a chance to knock any of the Eastern teams down allowing for the cross-over. Hamilton twice. Not saying it's likely, but go Burris!

Re: Lions 41 - Ottawa 3 -- Post Game Stats and Comments

I am a long-time reader, first-time poster, and life-long Vancouverite (I'll save it for the introductions thread) . Great atmosphere at the game tonight with 31,000 fans in attendance. An entertaining and decisive win has motivated me to "surface" on these boards. I realize this is agains...
