If they couldn't get a bigger draw for half time, I think he'd be playing half time not the friday kick off. 

Winnipeg loves live music in general. I've seen rock and metal shows live here that make people in much larger cities jealous. 

He's passing through on a tour that just happens to bring him in just before GC so this is probably more fortuitous timing than anything.

He could also have said f**k playing outdoors in Winnipeg in November. 😂

It's this. I can pretty much guarantee that whoever they get for the half time show won't be nearly this big of a draw.

Wait, so you're telling me not to dream of a Trooper/Chiliwack double bill?

I remember Def Leppard in 1988 being blown away by the huge picture of the Queen in the old arena.  They kept the lasers on her all show and then saluted her by dedicating the song Photograph to her lol...aw good times... good times...

Bachman and Cummings are reuniting for another resurrection tour, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see them being carted out. 

Like the periodical cicada, B and C rise from the earth every 13 years….each return, more unwelcome than the last.

For me, with my GC tix in hand, I couldn't ask for anything more... It would be unreal. Their show at the Goldeyes stadium a couple years back was outstanding.

The one after will be called the "Resuscitation Tour" followed a decade later by the "Please Don't Revive Tour".

 

 

For people that purchase the $99 day pass, it not only includes concert series but the team party rooms and 2 days of Touchdown Manitoba.

Got ours through a STH friend who had early access. Can't friggin wait. What a week it'll be. 

It’s gotta be Manitoba boy and legend Tom Cochrane. Has to be. 

 

 

Looks sharp... I'll definitely be grabbing a beer mug.

Stewart Johnston is going to head out to the field with an impact wrench and move the goalposts to the back of the endzone for the halftime show.

And you will feel the excitement level increase.

CFL does decide the act right, it’s not the bombers. It’s sad that I think your idea is an innovative one lol and honestly almost dare I say need to see it (who does AI, make it happen )

CFL in conjunction with Bell (TSN) in conjunction with record labels....

They released more 3 day passes. Now is the chance to buy some before they sell out again.
