Just wondering how many Lionbackers will be making the trip to Winnipeg? Operation Orange.

I'll be going and I'm counting down the hours until Thursday morning. Really excited.

Anyways, if any of you want to introduce yourselves, I'd love to talk some football with fellow Lionbackers and put a face to some of the names on here. My name is David, 23 years old and will be with my Dad and brother. We're all hardcore Lions fans. I've put in a request for a Shawn Gore jersey, so I'll be wearing that most of the time.

I'm looking forward to it, and hoping we can pull off another road win!

-Believes in building from the trenches outwards. A great O-Line and D-Line guarantees an above average team.
-A coach that has to give a motivational pregame speech is probably a coach that is insecure about his game plan.

While it is too far from Hong Kong I'll have to pass but who knows who you might see if you go to Danny and Buck's in the 'Peg the day/night before the game. Buck no doubt will be checking in there too to see how his place is faring with him out of town.

My wife and I will be there........living in Winnipeg makes the trip a tad bit shorter/easier.

I'm going. I'm 5'8", 200 lbs., 65 years old. I will be wearing a "79 Taylor" jersey as that is my last name.

Getting together with other Lionbackers and attendees and going to Danny and Buck's BBQ for Thursday night sounds great to me. Let's share a taxi ride.

I'll be going. I went on the Operation Orange Regina trip so I'll be a road trip veteran here. Had an absolute blast and looking forward to this trip as well! I'll be wearing an Orange 13 jersey.

Sounds awesome! Are you going for a three-peat and hitting the other game at Mosaic?

My budget can only afford one 'road trip', so I picked this one, where we get to see the new stadium.

I've given it some serious thought, but my budget probably wouldn't allow for it. I have the rest of this week off work so I figured why not? It's going to be an absolute blast!

Looking forward to meeting you and others on this trip. Made a lot of friends from the Regina trip!
Roar you Lions roar!

Thanks for the tip! Going to ask Buck what he recommends from the menu.

Is anyone from the group arranging a get together at Buck's on Thursday? I can help out with transportation.

Do you know which hotel yet?

Delta Hotel (I'm not sure how many Winnipeg has of that brand)......

I'm up for trying it (Buck's restaurant) but who knows. I LOVE BBQ, especially brisket......

I'm heading over to Vancouver in a few hours and will be off line for the rest of the week, so if one of you guys is making reservations for Thursday night, then count me in. I am looking forward to meeting the Travelling Lionbackers (and other fans and oh yeah the players) on Thursday at the airport.
