    Yep the Riders are only a quarterback, kicker, head coach, offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, a couple halfbacks, a running back, and a couple linebackers away from having a competitive team.  So close though. Leading the almost-wins column in the standings for sure.

    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 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.

    And in fairness, that fan volume is mostly because we have louder, more passionate, and overall, more intelligent fans who know when to be loud and when to shut up....

    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.

    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.

    Watching the mental gymnastics that go on there as they try to convince themselves that's a solid lineup reminds me of way back when we used to try and pretend that JT Gilmore and Desia Dunn and Bo Smith weren't that bad, they just needed an opportunity!

    Sure I could imagine it, but what's the point in that?  I'd prefer to imagine a complete and total beatdown of the Riders.  I want to imagine Glenn slinking off the field after his third pick 6 with a tear slowly rolling down his cheek and muttering "it's only a game... it's only a game".  I want to imagine the Rider crowd booing lustily and having Jones standing at centre field shouting "BUT WERE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?"  I want to imagine Rod Peterson crumpled in a corner of the Rider broadcast booth, curled up in the fetal position and sobbing.  That's what I want to imagine.
    And if this doesn't come to pass, then we'll deal with it later, and you know why?  Because I'd like to imagine I support my team.
