Yup.

Alexander looked solid at least. Obviously Roc is getting a tougher assignment.

The personal fouls on Wild and Goosen...not sure how those get called. Whatever I , and others who went, paid to be there, it was worth it not to have to deal with TSN openly cheering for the Riders. I feel for those who watched on TV

Watching this game on TSN. Carmichael got lit up, knew it in the stadium, but yeesh rough first game. Take that away and the D was not too bad. Personal fouls hurt (fixable) Leggett almost got a late pick on a classic Glenn panic play. That looked like a fumble by Grant Sr. to me. Okpo had a better game than I thought. The play where he takes on two lineman in the backfield and hauls down Marshall was Bananas. Loffler got caught in coverage against 82 way too long on extended plays..hard for any DB to make that work let a lone a safety. Riders really had a lot go their way.

I would believe it. Especially because they seem to have cheaped out on the actual seats. To that guy: for sure stop putiing your beer there after the second time.

The Bombers took personal foul penalties that let a bad team keep the ball and win field position.

If you count him standing on the bench and waving a towel, or having his goofy mug on the jumbotron, he contributed a lot Saturday.

I will give them that though. If it was windy, I didn't notice it. If they did indeed find a way to deflect wind (I still question it) it showed Saturday. I like the breeze at IGF. Humid days in the sun are the worst. I think it will be worse there with no breeze. The width of seats is not bad but definitely smaller.

The seating at IGF definitely feels more on top of the field.back row upper deck at midfield at their stadium seems miles away. I also don't like the way the upper decks cut off there. Looks weird to me. They should be happy though.

I agree. I didn't mention it in the other thread, but the location, and, or depth of the cup holders are weird to me. They seem low to the ground and shallow.

The stadium is nice. No Bomber fan was "in awe". I told many Rider fans it was a great little stadium, and it is. I listed my nit picking of it in the 3 stars thread. PS yes they boo and yes it is weird.I must have never noticed it at the old stadium.

It was pretty bad but it is what it is. What it is , is 33k in an area bounded by train tracks and neighbourhoods with narrow streets. We parked and walked 20 mins away. It was also Canada Day. Can't speak to the bus system. They appear to have copied our traffic buster idea (allowing people on to the field at IGF) by attempting to divert people to Confederate Park post game.

We drove out for the game. I truly love IGF, but the seating configuration is pretty basic. Mosiac definitely has some cool/unique viewing areas. No doubt they have a great little stadium. The city itself...pass. Some of the things I didn't like (that are mostly nit picking I guess) are that the upper level concourses are really congested and oddly designed. At least where we were. Other parts of the lower concourse seemed to get weird bottle necking. The ramps are also really narrow, and the exit from the ramps on the street is like you are fleeing a crime scene through a narrow doorway (more bottle necking). The leg room in our section was good. The seats themselves seem really low budget. Like you could rip them outta the concrete low budget. The field lighting is pretty underwhelming. The place seems dark. Actually lighting all over the stadium was not great. Their 13th man flag is enormous...like super enormous. Almost distracting haha. The don't really show away team stats much on their main board.I think it came up a couple of times. Their PA and music is so insanely loud. Very annoying. Overall, they did a great job on it. The fans we met were very nice (complete opposite of what you see online). Many thanked us for coming and even came to shake our hand before and after. I have de-railed the thread but did not know if this was worth starting a new topic.I do reccomend going to a game there. We had a roller coaster of a game and came out with a dramatic W and started a new era of Bomber winning in that stadium. So, I leave happy.

The similarities are shocking. Jones is Mike Kelly and Mack rolled into one.

I really cannot haha

Is there a dislike button?

I disagree. I cannot think of anything more fun in the regular season than ruining this party.Making that place go silent. This is not wacky old Taylor Field where a historically shitty team raised up once in awhile playing in their crap stadium in the middle of nowhere. It has no history. What it has is the burden of expectation placed on the back of a bad football team. The Riders have a world of pressure on them without the talent to fall back on. The team, and the fans that are clear minded, know that. Use that against them...really looking forward to it.
