There are some seedy hotels after but unless you like head lice, bed bugs, and tuberculosis you should just book out of town and prepare to walk because transit is completely non existent. Regina is a complete fiasco from a travelling fan's perspective and the CFL doesn't know any better because they have blocked off rooms for their needs and those of the broadcast/media well in advance and that pretty much covers Regina's rooms capacity. My only Grey Cup there I thought I had lucked out through a bus tour out of Winnipeg that came with a room. Little did I know I was expected to share the room with two other strangers. Just awful.

rebusrankin Posted October 27 Report Posted October 27 Its been the same issues since they hosted in 2003. Need to stay away from Regina. Plus they had it in 22, why go there only 5 years later? Noeller, wbbfan and BomberBall. 3

Noeller Posted October 27 Author Report Posted October 27 I thought Edmonton was getting the next one... They were passed over in favour of Calgary next year. I'm wondering if there's issues there after the owner died. Must be an absolute mess out east if nobody is getting one/bidding on one... wbbfan, WinnipegGordo and rebusrankin 3

In Saskatchewan, a bedside bucket (AKA thunder jug) is considered indoor plumbing. wbbfan, Noeller and rebusrankin 3
WinnipegGordo Posted October 27 Report Posted October 27 Ottawa is doing a multi year renovation of their stadium so they were out of the running. The Big O is supposed to be ready for 2028 so Montreal was out for 2027. wbbfan and Noeller 2

wbbfan Posted October 27 Report Posted October 27 we all know the reality here. The league wants a decent size crowd no matter who plays, and don’t care that the fan experience will be trash and that people will get screwed and gouged. rebusrankin 1

Booch Posted October 27 Report Posted October 27 (edited) 4 minutes ago, JGD said: Has this years Grey Cup sold out yet? No clue?...Generally they don't until the teams involved are decided and tickets will be expressly held for that very purpose. 14 straight sell-outs here are a pretty good ondicator it will be if not already is with "available" tickets for the public Call the Club if you are curious Edited October 27 by Booch wbbfan and Piggy 1 2

Mark H. Posted October 28 Report Posted October 28 More than half the cities are struggling with attendance...where else is the league supposed to go?

A place like calgary or edmonton would very likely lose money to have a 20-25k ish attendance. Half the fields in the league this year aren’t high enough quality either imo. Mark H. and SpeedFlex27 2
Goalie Posted October 28 Report Posted October 28 (edited) The reality is there’s only 3 nice stadiums in the league. Regina. Winnipeg. BC. Any of those are the only real options really. Edited October 28 by Goalie wbbfan 1

Any of those are the only real options really. I'd put Edmonton in that group. The stadium is old but it's still good enough to host a Grey Cup. The problem are the Eastern stadiums. They're too small. It's hard to believe that a city like Hamilton (with all their history & tradition) only has a stadium that holds 24000. Ottawa 22000, Montreal 23000 & then there's *^%$#> Toronto.
