Labour Day in Regina? Wow. 

Looks like out bye weeks are: 

Week 2

Week 7

And Week 17.

 

CFL full schedule here: https://www.cfl.ca/schedule/

Aside from Labour Day/Banjo Bowl we have no back to back games, and our final two games of the season are eastern opponents so assuming we aren’t the crossover team we won’t end up in a situation playing a team back to back to end the season/go into the playoffs again. In other words, we won’t see the BS three games against Calgary run we saw to end this year. Also no more than two away games in a row (and two home games in a row) which is nice. 

And on a personal note, the home games don't conflict with my annual vacation travels. It's a been a few years but the stars aligned! Hooray!

We play at BC in Week 20, between the Argos and the Als. 

Like they went a balance of 3 Saturdays Fridays and Thrusdays. 

Other than the LDC rematch there are no Saturday afternoon games. 

Saturday afternoon games are the worst (other than the LDCR), so I like this. 

“We look forward to raising our championship banner at our home opener June 26^th as part of Thursday Night Football."

 

Someone tell Wade that June 26th is a Friday.

Might have to rearrange my holidays for that...

I hate that there are 3 bye weeks. I'd rather the league go back to 2 and move the Grey Cup up a week. I know it's in the name of player safety, but a longer season also means the players have 1 week less of off-season in order to make $ ( if they have an off-season job).

As an office worker, I hate Thursday night games... if work permits, I plan on (and suggest you do to) taking those Fridays off, makes the game more enjoyable for me, and work doesn't have to deal with me dragging sleep-deprived butt into work on the Friday.

Also one who works in an office for most of the day and also live out of town. I prefer Thursday games so I have weekends at the lake. Cant appease everyone unfortunately.

I'm with you on that. I wanna be drinking by the campfire on Friday night as much as possible. I like the Thursday games. However, I can understand why many don't. For those that don't please take solace In the fact that, somewhere out in the nether regions of internet pariah-land, gbill is losing his marbles about the Thursday games and probably writing letters to the CFL about it while getting banned from whatever forum he now frequents.

An evening Labour Day Classic is different.

Good call. I hadn't noticed. 

Friends and I have decided to go the GC next year, rather than the LDC. I liked at the afternoon start, though. 

No game on my wedding day is all I care about.

6 PM kickoff for Labour Day is weird, hope they don't have to carry me into the stadium with that late start.

Man that will be a liquored up crowd

Could get rowdy. I hope the locals don't ruin our stadium before the GC.

Some of us need to make plans because we go to the games.

Congrats!

It's always a nervous time when the wedding date is set but you haven't seen the schedule yet.

I was in great shape this past season...had the Argos on the Thursday night before the wedding. Everyone was in town to get together and watch it...had a big party......be a nice ****-kicking of the Argos to start up our wedding weekend. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we let MBT look like a legitimate QB and come back to win the game in a squeaker. My anxiety went into overdrive.....I swear that game nearly ruined our wedding.
