Jpan85 Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 I might have a couple I could send someone when I get confirmation on our numbers today. Also, I agree that the first row in the upper deck is the best we have had them there since the new stadium.

We made plans to watch the game at my place and I’m going to BBQ for her which is perfectly fine but I most certainly wouldn’t say no to surprising her with game day tickets!

I absolutely love front row upper deck... Since the days of section 8a directly above section S. Front row upper deck is hard to beat. East side is best tho 😛 Was an east sided for 30+ years at Canadinns. Started on the east side when the move to IG Field happened, found the sun a bit glaring higher up in the upper deck. Every year they offered me an upgrade, and I always pushed to get as close to row 1 as possible, and one year asked if by chance they had anything first row on the west side. They did and I grabbed them, pretty much directly across from my old east side (row 2) seats. Fantastic view of the Bomber bench, not as insanely loud as the lower bowl.

TrueBlue4ever Posted August 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 So just to give some context to the record, Goodlow entered the last game of the year against Calgary in 1981 with 85 receptions. Dieter Brock targeted him all day long to get him to 100 receptions for the year. The 15 catches that day and 100 in a season were both league records at the time.

Alas the only time I've sat front row balcony at the new stadium was for AC/DC and I never sat once haha... sadly, when season ticket seat selection came around, my seats (relative to where they were at the old stadium) were long gone... I was not happy, but that's decade-old history now WinnipegGordo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sard Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 Curious if you ever have an issue with standing water in the 1st row? I'm up at row 14 and would like to get lower, but I seem to recall seeing puddles in that first row after a good rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
