aren't host cities normally announced two years in advance? or in the case of the 2005 Junos 16 months even? Winnipeg Free Press56th Juno Awards brings the party back to Winnipeg in 2027The Juno Awards are coming back to Winnipeg. The city has been selected to host the 56th edition of the Canadian music award show and its associated events from April 1 to 4, 2027. The Junos were prev

Yeah, it'd be nice if they developed a great dining/pub area nearby. Polo Park isn't what it used to be lol, they dodged a bullet moving away from there. South Kenaston is better shopping now.

It makes too much sense so the CFL won't do it. They won't even get rid of the coaching/admin cap.

It's just too bad there isn't an entertainment district close to PAS. It's a long drive or bus ride to any decent restaurants or pubs northbound on Pembina Highway. There was just about everything close to Canad Inns Stadium. It wasn't perfect as there weren't a lot of bars around but fans did have some restaurant choices nearby. As well as shopping at Polo Park.

It'll be interesting to see how the turnout goes for the riders. 500 bucks for the year seems like solid value for season ticket holders. But that market is not as spend crazy as it was when they broke their streak. The stadium location for them is awful. (aside from the fact its in Saskatchewan) Having a tailgate spot with a park and ride might not be bad, except for the driver. Makes me glad for where the stadium is now. It was a risky move but once they figured out traffic a bit its been a massive W.

The NFL pr pays about 220,000 for less than 2 years of service and 300k for 2 years of service, for the whole year. Plus, a full camp is 10-20k plus any signing bonuses. So you're looking about 230-320k for a full year of camp + Tc. Add on the exchange rate of 35%+, and the taxation level is about half of what you pay up here. Roughly that means you'd have to make about 425k at minimum to compete with a QB who goes through camp and sits on the pr the whole year. At that point, of course, you won't get those guys to give up on that chance and come up here. But that is the ballpark level of competition for rookie QBs. To improve our QB pool, I think you'd need to have rookies able to earn around 200k USD. 175k probably still makes an impact, 150k maybe. Last year, the 2nd tier vet backup QBs (Evans, Shiltz, Strev, etc.) made in the low 100k range. After taxes in American bucks, they are probably lucky if they bring home 60-70k. And you know the raw rookies are making even less than that. Triple that, and push that pay level down to the rookies. Then you'll see guys making the decision to stay in football and come up here who wouldn't otherwise, and see the guys who would come up here do so sooner.

These are your Winnipeg Jets. When you tell your fans that our team is built through good drafting & trades but not free agency. Then, go out & have shitty drafts & make poor trades all the while saying top free agents won't sign here except fourth line players & D Men. I'd sure like to see what another GM could do replacing Chevy after 15 years & building a different culture. It's time for him to go but it will never happen until he says so. Chevy #jobforlife.

The 2 stalls are for a car or truck pulling a bbq/smoker.

It's over. But for some reason my mind always thinks that there's a chance. And I still get mad when they lose and I'm happy when they win. Is it football season yet,?

My understanding is that they intend the tailgaters to use the 2nd stall for their chairs, BBQ etc. So, in actuality there will be room for one vehicle. Its not like in Winnipeg where there are areas for lots of fans to set up on the grass in front of their vehicles.

Dayum, can't even have a still anymore.

The penalty against Vilardi totally goes against the double-tap rule of Zombieland. As bad as this game was I’m sure Arniel saw enough good in it to to keep it intact for our next game. Sharks win, Kraken lose 😭 https://i.imgur.com/4pXBbjo.mp4

Pack it in, they don't have it offensively, defensively, goaltending. Just not a good squad this year

The Jets must be the most passive checking team in the league. No aggression and way too much space given all over the ice.

Salomonnson gonna make pionk or Demelo expendable. Thats how we get the 2 center. Pionk. Salo Samberg looking really strong together. Don’t hate Bryson as depth either and seems genuinely excited to be here. Pionk Josh Salo Samberg Demelo fleury Bryson. That’s not the worst. They should give Rosen ice time with Connor and Scheifele.

What an amazing goal by Connor. KFC baby!

KC is pretty good.

Eight shots through almost two periods of play. Wtf. Two goals on six shots against.

luckily I have the perfect goal song for Rosen

Legalized tailgating. And a governmebnt cash grab. How to take the fun away from a football game.

That's interesting anyhow... I mean $500 for the season including two parking passes for every game... That's not exorbitant, I don't think.

Nice call by the refs to open the game. Unbelievably bad. And of course…. They immediately score.

LOL Each tailgating permit will cost $500 and includes two parking spaces in order to accommodate a full setup. In February, the Roughriders allowed season-ticket holders to enter a lottery for tailgating spaces. Successful applicants are expected to be contacted in April. 3DownNationSaskatchewan Roughriders tailgating law passes final vote...A bill that would allow tailgating at Saskatchewan Roughriders games next season has passed its final vote in the provincial legislature and has been given Roya

Combination of things, I believe. Until the spring leagues & smaller NFL rosters & practice squads thereshould have been more qbs developed by CFL teams. they had the market on qbs if they were cut as they had nowhere else to go. So, more effort should have been made like it was in Edmonton & Calgary to find & develop talented young qbs. Too many CFL teams, the Bombers included felt they didn't have to spend the resources necessary as they could just dip into free agency & sign Kent Austin, matt Dunigan or Tom burgess as our next sarting qb. They felt that they didn't need to have one or two young guys ready to go. In today's CFL, there's less talent available. The best qbs that could become available are already signed by the NFL. If they aren't already on regular rosters they're on the practice squad. Others are playing in the UFL like our boy Taylor Elgersma. So, I'll admit that it's much harder in 2026 to develop legit qb talent in the CFL than say in 1996. When you look back coming up to three seasons ago, developing & letting Dru Brown go was a huge mistake. There's been no one since he left for the Bombers who even came close to him talent wise. I'm not Brown's biggest fan. I think he's too passive as a leader & perhaps isn't as tough as he needs to be. I think other qbs like Chris Streveler may have played thru some of his injuries that he's had. Still, it would have been nice for him to start here.

The players playing pro are the best. So someone who is good in NCAA is making a transition up to play pro. So everyone gets excited about a guy who had success at NCAA school(s) but like I said....the talent is relative. They are competing with the best which isn't what they competed against in NCAA. Even if you want to look at a P5 roster you're looking at a fraction of those players making it at all in pro football.
