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 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.

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!

* 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.

: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.

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