And I know this is, like, a very weird sports bar to set for a jump over, but the preseaon game with the Stamps last week might have been the most entertaining preseason football game I've ever seen. Was really a lot of fun. I may be in the minority, but I'd rather my team was fun to watch and lost than won loads in a boring way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAN Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 So these Alouettes are going to kill me this year. Man, that was too close. But I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Game started slow but it was always close and that was a fun finish. Plus the Riders lost, so that rules. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends did a trip up there and almost the entire province is nothing. I mean these places didn't even have a Tims, and do you realize how hard it is to go anywhere in Canada without a Tims within a 1km radius?

I was there once for the Labour Day Classic, and the Bombers actually won it that year, so I have been afraid to go back since. The McDonald's across the street from our hotel was not open for breakfast on Labour Day. So fuck that province. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 As far as I can see, I can say with a totally straight face that Saskatchewan has a better stadium than either Los Angeles NFL franchise. What a strange time to be alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place looks great on TV, that and MTS make Tim Hortons Field look so second rate in comparison. In defense of Tim Hortons Field, I bet that Investors Group Field in Winnipeg and Mosiac Stadium in Regina both had more public funding to help make them look really nice. New Mosaic is beautiful. Nicer than IGF. Any future CFL stadiums should be take this model, and tweak it for themselves. Only two things I did not like were the overly cheesy "13" banner they unfurled, and the "Pil Country" section. I realize they are trying to make that into a party section, but whenever someone would leave to get a beer, their spots get taken, so they end up having to stand at the top of the section until someone moves again. Anyway, I had a great time, mostly due to Bomber victory. I left my seat after the first quarter (the one where the Bombers managed ZERO first downs) to get beer, and got some good natured "You going home already?" comments from their fans. I laughed and told them that more beer was required to watch such a terrible effort. The Bombers scored 37 of their 43 points going towards the end zone I was sitting in, so maybe I should have crashed Pil Country for the 4th quarter, and overtime could have been averted. The Bombers are now 2-0 when I go to Regina for games. They really should pay for me to attend Labour Day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 My only gripe: they should've named it Gordie Howe Stadium after the single greatest sports figure the province has ever produced. That would've been cool. Also you are right about the Tim. IIRC it was built without public funds (and if it did receive them the amount was minimal).
