BanjoBowl Questions from First Time Riders' Fans Attending the Game.

[JGD]

Greetings all, the LDC was another epic event and we had an incredible time with many Bombers fans here in Regina.   It was such a great time that my gal and I have decided to get tickets to the Banjo Bowl (first timers) and are very excited about attending this event with the other best fanbase in the CFL.   We have tickets in Section 143 and we are staying at the Alt Hotel downtown.   Any suggestions or recommendations would be very much appreciated of good places to party or visit.   We are arriving late Friday afternoon and staying until Sunday.

Thanks in advance for all your suggestions and responses, we can't wait.

getting early to experience the tailgating and the area around the stadium where there are things going on is always a good start....coming from off portage you will have a decent trek to the stadium so make sure to give yourself adequate time as there is construction everywhere

If you are going to the game from your hotel and want to save a few bucks you can take rapid transit instead of an uber/taxi.

There is a bus stop across the street at the arena and the stadium bus comes by every 20 minutes on Saturday.

Just make sure to take the Blue line to the UofM and not St Nobert.

It's just over 30 minutes and 3.35 per person.

Edit: this bus uses a rapid transit corridor for a good portion of the trip so it avoids most of the construction that Booch refers to.

Really appreciate this booch and Gordo as we were planning ubering to the stadium.    Any good bars (like Revival in Regina) where football fans party on BB weekend?

That looks like alot of fun, we will be there.   Anything for post game on Saturday?

Also, is Section 143 "safe" for a couple of Riders fans? lol
