I think it's good he holds himself to a higher Standard I'd still take him over Dennis...Hardrick been solid for last 3..4 yrs...and shows no sign of slowing down...Dennis was good this yr..an anomaly since his real good yr what..4..5 yrs ago?

Not everything is Ambrosies fault but It's interesting that MY opinion can set you off like that. Very snowflake like attitude from a dude my dad's age. Just saying. Thought snowflakes were more born after 2000 not before What you said... not you as a person... but your statement... was exceedingly dumb. That players don't care about all star nominations. Really??? Most, if not all players have it written in their contracts as a bonus if they're selected an all star. It is exceedingly important to them. So, basically because of incompetence all the way down from the top, the CFL gave & then taketh away those all star $$$ bonuses from the players named. Plus the embarassment of being named an all star & then having that taken away from them. As in, "He's not good enough so these are the real all stars". If you're too blind to see just how BADLY this league is being run right now since the pandemic under a man like Ambrosie who blatantly lies about just about everything as easily as blowing his nose then your total blindness is on you.

Oh, that sucks. I wish they could have tried to do more for them. Separate parking passes, etc. Looks like they'll be on their way out when most fans start coming in - probably could have figured something out.

It doesn't say it was the only available date, it says it was the only date that worked. That can mean a whole host of different things. I don't see how the Bombers can be better partners... the game is scheduled by the league to fit with what the national broadcast partner wants.... These people should have considered that there was a pretty solid chance that the 2x defending champions, who had in august only lost the one game, if they had lost at all, might be hosting the western final. This whole story reeks of a ploy to bring attention to their event under the guise of a woe is me sob story.

The game has been scheduled for months now, the Bombers have legal right to the parking lot 90 mins before kickoff, per the agreement. Changing kickoff time is silly, if anything I'd be blaming the U of M adminstration. For them here it's a win win... They get $ from both events, and none of the bad public press, despite them being the only ones able to really do anything about the situation. As nothing more than the next tenant to use the lot, what should the Bombers be doing that they're not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 I don’t think anyone expected them to move the game, but making sure a lot was open - instructing the parking officials that another event was ending and there needed to be an available exit. The event is ending before the game - they likely didn’t need to do much, just offer assurances that there would be unobstructed exits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you guarantee unobstructed exits when you are expecting a sellout. Edit: I’ll also add the Bombers have hired consultants in the past to optimize the flows in and out. You can just change a small area without affecting the rest. Noeller and JCon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all you really had to do was prioritize the parking away from one area for any super early arrivals who plan to tailgate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning an event like this in August when the Bombers were firmly in first place and extremely likely to host a playoff game on this date was a major screwup by whoever made that decision. Completely foreseeable problem the organizer caused themselves. JCon and Noeller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good look look??? Thirty three thousand people will be showing up. Should there be a massive traffic jam around the stadium., instead? Now, it'll be the big, bad, uncaring Blue Bombers bullying people with disabilities. This event should never have been booked. that day. Everyone knew after Labour Day the team would finish first. This group just can't expect to be automatically accomodated. Sometimes the only solution is the harshest one. They have to leave.
