i will be taking in a couple of the morning practices for sure! not sure which ones. probably the 1st monday, that gives them couple days to get going!

I'll be going to Fanfest

I went to my first Fan Fest last year, and I thoroughly enjoyed it despite the occasional light drizzle. Didn't stay for the controlled scrimmage, though, as I had to be in Chilliwack for dinner.

I plan on attending this year along with my nephew, who shares my ST's. Haven't heard yet whether dinner in Chilliwack is included this year, too.

BTW, updated info says Fan Fest kicks off at 1PM with a controlled scrimmage starting at 3, and the whole thing wraps up at 5. If you are a ST holder you should have received a letter from Bob Ackles inviting you to Fan Fest, and the letter entitles you to a free hot dog & pop courtesy of BC Place. Head there early because I think they ran out well before 3 o'clock last year. :lol: (And no, I don't think BC Place is serving wieners or buns left over from last season)

The wieners and buns are actually due for a new coat of paint - compliments of the Stadium / Olympics upgrade program.

I have never been to fan fest,do you have to be a ST holder to go?

No you don't have to be a STH to attend Fan Fest, however it is recommended you are a fan of the team The only real perk STH's get are the free hotdogs for every ticket they have on their account. I have plans to go camping this weekend, might have to switch those up to attend FF.

I will be there

I planning to come over next weekend to take in the Saturday training sessions and Sunday's fanfest. I am quite looking forward to it because I have never had the opportunity to watch team practices or TC before.

Am also looking forward to touching base with some of you guys that I haven't seen since last season.

I will be driving out to the fraser valley sometime this week and weekend to catch some practices.

I've never been to FF before, what is it like exactly?

anyone remember if people had dogs there last year?
