I should also mention that I ride on the LRT after those games so technically it's not always in CW but it's the same fans that ride the LRT.

It's ridiculous to say don't wear your colours and you'll be fine. Wear them, and be proud to do so.

Lion24...the Lions come to town and you don't go???? Weird.
Yeah.......guess I am not much of a fan :sigh: I just don't need the aggravation; I used to go all the time but would rather watch at home then deal with idiots and getting frustrated.
I love your enthusiasm L24, you are doing just fine, can't please everyone now can we.

I still DO CARE about the Lions but I guess if not going to games here seems like I am not then I guess everyone can have their opinion? :sigh:
Thank you for everything you did for OUR Lions Mr.Ackles, we will never forget you...RIP

Oh my...

All I said was I find it strange that you live out of town and don't take the chance to see the team when the come to town....No one said you weren't a fan.

That's what I was thinking. My brother lives in the Chuck and he always goes whenever the Lions are in town. Sure, he says he has to endure a bit of razzing from time to time but that doesn't dissuade him from going. I think the main thing if you're a Lions fan at CW is to avoid catching the attention of that stupid mascot of theirs!
:lol: No argument here on our mascots being stupid. I like Nanook in terms of the bear...but the dude inside him is a dolt. Punter is both stupid-looking and stupid-acting.

I want the EskiMoose back.

* Good sight lines despite the track.
* Wonderful atmosphere in such a tightly packed space. Crowd really gets into it and has a great time.
* Strong game ops - music is much better than B.C. Place. They point the speakers up from field level (what a concept!).
* Dance team is unparalelled in the CFL (and would give many NFL teams a run for their money). They move in purrfect synch, all wholesome 'girl next door' hotties and take to the field no fewer than 6 times a game!
* Unique touches too. Like the 8 member African drum band that plays this LOUD hypnotic 10 minute drum beat on the concourse under the north stands at half-time. :thup:

I have a friend who isnt a football fan but when he is back in Montreal during football season he always tries to go to game. Said the same things you did, the atmosphere is awesome.

Thanks for listing all the good things.

I heart Punter! Can I have him? :roar: I think one of the funniest things I ever read was a poster on 13th who said something like "I guess I musta been really drunk, cuz it took me 3 quarters to realize that he wasn't a baked potato!" :rotf:

I saw the Geroys Corner sign in the stands. Geroy tossed a ball up. The cameras showed lots of Lion fans having fun. Didnt see any trouble on the tube. BB

There seemed to be a lot of Lion colours in the stands, and they seemed to be having a good time.

That Geroy's Corner sign at the back of the endzone was classic. I loved it! I wonder if Geroy made his usual pre-game jaunt over there like he does at home.

Re: Lions fans at Commonwelth October 17th.

I was at a game in Edmonton last year. Wore my orange Lions jersey. Never had a problem at all, not a peep. Even after the game (we won a close one).

It was a nice experience actually to be outdoors on a sunny, slightly cool day. The stadium and field looked great.
