Anyone going to the game in Calgary on Canada Day?

This is my first year in Southern Alberta after moving from the Yukon. Looking forward to the game!

Oh you sweet summer child.... bombers in Alberta is pain and misery

I was considering going, after that depressing mess last night I think I'll be watching from my couch.

I doubt that we'll be going .  my parents are in town and I don't see us even competing against the stamps. 

Ill be there with a group of 15 from my family!

Ya we've got a crew coming. Weather's supposed to be nice...Late game so hopefully it stays relatively warm and hopefully we can have some celebratory pops after.... 

I may go if my buddy gives me a free ticket. I stopped spending money on the Bombers in Alberta years ago. 

It's been a long time since we've won in Calgary, but it's also been a long time since I've actually had the opportunity to get to a game. I've planned my vacations the past four years around the Bomber schedule - may as well visit family in Manitoba and see a game, but it's nice to have the ability to see them close.

Actually not that long. They busted the slump last game of the year season before last. Marvelous Marve in the snow

How could I forget that!?! Wins are so rare.

It was one of the greatest sporting events I've ever been at. Bombers fans along the sidelines getting high fives from all the players and they gave me a pair of game worn cutter gloves from. That day. Incredible day....

yeah other than the fluke out in the snow with Marve and crew the last time I remember the Bombers kicking any ass in Calgary was back in 2001 with Khari at the helm.  That team was truly awesome.

That game in 2001 was the start of a nearly magical season. If only the ending was better. 2001 is better than 1990.

2002, Kelly Malveaux/Milt Stegall Sharpie game LOL, the Bombers won that as well ...

I don't understand why people are dismissing the 2014 game....considering the streak in AB, I'll take any win. That was as legit as anything. The defense stood on their heads and had an incredible afternoon. That was an awesome day...don't diminish it....

My favourite was in 2002 in Edmonton, I attended the Bombers game.  The Bombers lost, but caused 7 or 8 Edmonton turnovers.  Every time a turnover happened, I turned and faced the crowd in my section yelling "Ohhhh,  Noooooo!  OHHHH, NOOOOOO!!!".  The fans hated me, and yelled to sit down.

That was fun.

November 1, 2014 was the last win in Calgary. It has been much longer since they won in Edmonton and on Labour Day. 

Just saying.

Historically, the Bombers have done very poorly, but maybe they are due. Realistically (he said while wiping a tear from his eye), Huffer will detonate on the sidelines if the Horsemen do not start vigorously, and Dickinson ought to have his charges  ready, so the Bombers had better have their jockstraps on tight. If the Bombers do their Keystone Kops routine again in the first half, I'm not sure that the mushroom cloud over Cowgary won't be O'Shea.

Historically the bombers are crap everywhere. Lots of poor records over the last span.

When have the MOS Bombers not done the Keystone Cops in the first half?

Somebody better tell Weston the games on Friday.  But again with the slow starts that have been plaguing us.  Maybe MOS should tell the team the games on Thursday.  

Ooops! I hope he doesn't think he still plays for the Riders...they play on Thursday!! 

concussions will do that...

 

I'm coming in from the south. What's the best plan for getting to a game? C-Train, or is there lots of parking near the Stadium?
