Very bare bones, cold as ****, no protection at all from the weather. The actual bowl is ok. Everything around it is dirty and looks like they are not maintaining the stadium at all. The bathrooms look like Canad Ins bathrooms. I am glad they have a new stadium, and they do seem to care. The stadium was very disappointing.

The stadium was very disappointing. I remember when the design was first reported. I was confused at why they would build a stadium straight out of the 1950's. I believe $$$ was a huge factor (obviously) but still to hear about it today....they'll be lucky to get 20 yrs out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say it aint so. I hope O'Day has a plan for '22, if the Bombers win the Grey Cup at Mosaic we may have to bulldoze it and start again. If they keep that team together they will certainly be the favourites. this is content I can use. kelownabomberfan, Jesse, blue_gold_84 and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old Ivor Wynne stadium was a craphole. I remember Doug Brown writing a column about how bad that stadium was, basically trying to shame Hamilton into doing something about what poor condition they were keeping it in (including the lights in the visitor dressing room all being burnt out?). So they finally decide to get a new stadium, and build an old stadium. It makes no sense. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did check out the old stadium it was as plain as one could imagine. The concessions were also extremely poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a win and in situation, and they encouraged all the fans to wear blue to make it a "Blue-out". And if I recall correctly, that was Kevin Glenn that led the Cats that game, and the Bombers were under the Mike Kelly **** show that year.

A team leader would have been standing up and getting is O crew ready to go score to even things up no? Or am I being too critical? Like c’mon man game ain’t over yet. Like if I’m on the O and I look over to Banks the first feeling I get is NOT inspiration. Not in the slightest. I thought/said the same thing. He had completely and utterly surrendered/checked out while they still had a chance. He whined and checked out of the game in 2019 and he did it again yesterday. He just strikes me as selfish and self absorbed...not a "team" guy. 12 minutes ago, FrostyWinnipeg said: Trifecta!

He was definitely deliberately trying to keep the ball alive for sure. I think he was hoping to get the interception but ended up batting it into Wilson's arms instead. Just as good of a result.

Noeller Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 I'm really hoping there'll be some kinda get together with the cup over the Christmas/New Year break.
