Yeah i'm from abbotsford! I really enjoyed training camp last year. I got to be their water boy twice during traing camp.
I hope lions improve their fan fest. Cause it will be amazing if they get it better(it was already good last year)!

Logisitcally, I have to think that there are conveniences being close to their regular season training facility, offices, equipment supplies etc. Then there is the cheap gas to consider
Tell me how long must a fan be strong? Ans. Always.
Media can access the camp easily, unlike the Kamloops location. If you think that being the GC Champions can transfer a few more ST purchases, then the Abbotsford location makes good sense IMO. With the local media being able to report on a daily basis, and not just the dedicated stations, placing the Lions in the heart of potential ST makes purrfect sense.Sir Purrcival wrote:Logisitcally, I have to think that there are conveniences being close to their regular season training facility, offices, equipment supplies etc. Then there is the cheap gas to consider
I guess a consideration would have been given to how many new ST holders and their location during last years TC. If Abbotsford people were buying during camp, it may have hit home to the Lions that while the interior is a nice place to reach out to, they can reap larger rewards closer to home.
Entertainment value = an all time low
How will the boys concentrate with such hotness around?bbgirl wrote:It'll be so fun to see you there and hang with you this year. Yay!Charlene wrote:Who knew Abbotsford was so cool?
