There are few Tim Hortons I know of in Downtown Vancouver that don't bother to make the Lions doughnuts either. They seem to be hit/miss with this product. I just don't know why you say you're gonna do something if you are not! I tried one after the Ticats game because I saw they had them. I actually had forgotten they were even available.....CatsEyes wrote:Yeah looks like they'll be making the same ones they did at the Tim's on the island. Oh........wait......

The BC Lions Football Club and Tim Hortons are pleased to reintroduce the BC Lions Donut Supreme, the Official Donut of the BC Lions, along with the BC Lions Quickpay Tim Card.
The tasty treat, a football shaped cream-filled donut featuring the BC Lions logo, will be available in more than 125 Tim Hortons locations from North Vancouver to Chilliwack on game days throughout the 2012 CFL season. The limited edition BC Lions Quickpay Tim Card is also available across the lower mainland while supplies last.
"We're excited to offer CFL fans two more great ways to show support for the BC Lions and enjoy Tim Hortons at the same time," said Chris Wakefield, Regional Marketing Manager for Tim Hortons.

Even though Lions are not involved with food and beverage you would think a savvy Lions marketing department would get PavCo (or whatever the corp. that runs BC Place) and a local Timmys together to make this happen.
Maybe Lions don't have a savvy marketing dept. Even so they should realize that marketing is more than just doing revenue producing stuff. Lions need to get their brand out there and seen and recognized on a constant basis.

I'm not sure the Beckham game attracted non-soccer fans. The attendance was 21,000, which was close the average Whitecaps crowd last year at Empire Field. I got sick of hearing radio reports of the Beckham game being played before "a sold-out B.C. Place." A sellout to the Whitecaps just means selling any seats where they choose not to put a tarp.David wrote:Since the Beckham game yesterday was such a big event that attracted non-soccer fans, I would have offered, say $10 off the Touchdown End Zone section when you present your Whitecaps ticket stub.
Point taken. I can't count how many times I've heard "sold-out crowd" attached to last night's game too.B.C.FAN wrote:I'm not sure the Beckham game attracted non-soccer fans.

That would be considered an attendance disaster for the Leos, although the Whitecaps clearly could have sold more tickets but elected to keep the tarps on - even in the Lower Bowl! (I'd hate to have been John Furlong's secretary yesterday....).
