Well I'm going to have to do that.

I would not have been wanting to be drinking directly underneath the canon when it went off multiple times Thursday night. I probably would've swallowed my cup. Whatever malfunctions there were at the beginning of the season there is no longer a problem with that canon.
The fellows running the scoreboard seem to have made some big improvements. At the beginning of the season they were constantly taking crowd shots of interesting fans, usually at the expense of seeing a replay. There was hardly any of that Thursday night. We had replays galore and in my opinion that was 10 times better than crowd shots. If you want to shoot human expression, please concentrate on the players and not the fans. That's what's interesting, the individual player expressions, not the fans' faces. The scoreboard crew must've gotten some feedback and responded to it. So well done.
I very much enjoyed the band that played during halftime .... it was so much better than the variety of dog and pony shows we've seen so often over the last half-century. That band put me in "the mood" and nothing could have been better. Quite frankly I would like to see a lot of local bands engaged at the stadium. Perhaps they could play a mini concert for 45 minutes to an hour prior to kickoff. As far as I'm concerned they could even do it during the player warm-ups. Maybe that would put everybody, players included, in the mood for some great and exciting football.
Let me complement Miller & Co. where the ongoing improvements he has been overseeing to make the game day experience that much better is coming to pay off.
This is the best entertainment we've had in a long, long time, and Yup, it has an awful lot to do with winning in a decisive way. Yup, Yup, Yup.

Well BB, yes there has been incremental improvements as settling into IGF for the Bomber game experience has become just touch ups. The entrance for season ticket members is one notable amenity that I've never taken advance of previously, and is appreciated. Creating more standing room around the north concourse is fabulous. I'd bet they sell more "drinks" as a result, but remains thankfully the same meat market. Being able to view the field from the concourse is beginning to look like a stroke of genius. However the stands don't look full because folks are socializing. I'll take the social aspect though.
Bus service is now, close to seamless.
I gotta say that fan expressions on the jumbotron are important. It makes the viewers pay attention. Who doesn't doesn't like saying to a bud, "saw ya in the screen", or if you show up on the screen, it makes your day. The fan shots create stickiness for the ads. We want advertisers on the screen. Good revenue.
As far as a mini concert goes, feel free to join the tailgate suarez at the S.E. corner outside the edifice which now does a have a live band, tackling dummies, free temporary tattoes, pretty good grub and cheaper beer.
It was mentioned by a group of Calgary folks and fans, that the previous week they were at a game in the Bay Area to watch the 9ers play in their new facility, and ours was Just as nice, just as fun, only smaller, cheaper everything that goes in the kisser, and "which is a good thing" they said.
Bomber management is active in continuous improvement.

That's awesome!!
I'll share my "great work Bombers" story, too. So, I wanted to take my mom to today's game, we don't make it to as many as I'd like together but try for at least 1 a year. She's the reason I'm a fan after all. I have a single season seat in 209 right next to a great crew of buddies. Unfortunately, the seat directly beside me the other direction was unavailable and with 30K expected I wasn't going to risk having seats in multiple rows, for example.
Anywho, I call up the office and give the girl (Jenn, I think?) my situation. Also mention my mom's getting up there in age, so sightlines and stairs can be an issue. Well she immediately suggested I exchange my season seat for this one game. In 2 mins she's found us seats together, down in 113. With the exchange, I paid for 1 seat & and an extra $5 i think. Really appreciated their accomodations
GO BOMBERS, baby! #FORTHEW

So I'm working outside this morning when Wade Miller cruises by. I, decked out in Bomber gear, cheer and wave like the shameless fan boy I am. He stops and asks me if I have tix. I say I wish. An hour later Wade's assistant hand delivers me and my coworkers tix to tonight's game. What a cool frikken guy.
Thank you Wade! Thank you Bombers! I know you just gained a few fans for sure. Can't wait to get to the stadium and lose my **** as always
