  1. I went to the Sask, ticats game after the bomber game at Commonwealth, and there is no way mosaic is better than Edmonton's stadium. That place made canadinns look like a palace. Concessions were the crops (basically just popcorn and hot dogs), all bench seating, no hand rails, terrible washrooms, dark and dingy atmosphere. Canada's fans weren't even into the game when they were up into the fourth quarter so I'm not sure why the media always raves about them being the best fans in the league. I wasn't impressed.

    It's all good.

     

    It's looking like we'll be in section S about 10 rows back.  If anyone still needs tickets and wants great seats, calling the Eskimos ticket office is your best bet (better selection than Ticketmaster).  Same thing goes for Bomber games.

     

    Also, huge shoutout to the Bomber ticket office for getting back to me (twice) when I asked if they had any spare seats from the Edmonton fan trip (which sounds like it was cancelled? bummer).

    Fan trip was way too expensive. It was like $900 per person and being on the team charter you hardly get any time outside of the game (I think it was like three hours at the West Edmonton Mall). I'm renting a car and driving it and it's more than half the cost.

     

     

    Agreed - I saw the cost and I'm not surprised it was cancelled. That's why I thought they might have seats available for the game only!  Haha. 

     

    Yeah, I tried asking if the meet and greet would be open to the general public. I was told the next day the meet and greet had to be removed from the itinerary, after that it was only the game and the mall LOL.

  4. Question for the board: Montreal's last challenge. Am I missing something? I thought that coaches could not challenge in the last three minutes of the fourth quarter. Did they change this? If not why wasn't this a penalty?

     

    From the 2013 Rule Book (the one currently posted on CFL.ca website).

    The teams are not permitted to use any challenges once the

    three-minute warning has occurred in the fourth quarter, regardless of how many

    challenges or time-outs they have remaining. If a team is unsuccessful with their

    first challenge, they will not lose a time-out.

     

     

  5. 100-120 isn't going to get you much of a room, but if it was me, I'd stay on the south end of the city. There's a few nice hotels down there. Both the Ramada and Days Inn down there are decent places, and just down the road from the always-amazing Cook County Saloon. Best piece of advice I ever received about getting tix at Commonwealth: "There are no bad seats..." and it's about right. Huge place, great sightlines. Better to be higher up than too low...

    I keep forgetting - I get a pretty decent government discount on most rooms, so it would be around $149ish normally. Thanks for the advice on Commonwealth.
