Re: Thursday Night Football Scheduling Conundrum

Nice breakdown, Hambone. I agree it’s suicide to ho head to head with the Stanley Cup and NBA playoffs. The latter is especially true when the Raptors are in contention. It’s hard enough to get media attention on the CFL when there’s little competition, and that applies to drawing fans into stadium...

Re: Thursday Night Football Scheduling Conundrum

Can someone tell me who in the CFL offices thought it would be a good idea to schedule CFL games on a Thursday? -The CFL is not the NFL, who can schedule a game any day they want. -There is no NHL or NFL during the summer, so take advantage and schedule one or two CFL games on Sunday during July an...

Re: Lions move business operations downtown

It more that they need a presence downtown. Just a physical location during the season you can buy gear. Like a one of those 2 story brownstones on Betty that’s office space on top and retail on bottom. You could run business on top, and online / some retail during season, open it fully on game days...

Re: Lions move business operations downtown

Honestly, you really have to question bclions decision to move business operations to downtown financial district.
Wouldn’t be better to get cheaper brownstone on Beatty with retail level. Which you would open up on game days as a team store.

Re: Lions move business operations downtown

In the end, I see lions staying and upgrading their facility and Surrey upgrading tom binnie as well (hopefully with a roof over top) which would also appeal to groups that use it for non lion times. Also the city seems committed to athletic parks around there with towers going up in the area.

Re: Lions at Argos July 3, 2023

That is a bit of a concern David. I don't know the exact protocols but would think that if Broxton was more doubtful than probable they would suit up a 7th OL. They do have Schleuger stashed on the 1G. He's an experienced CFL tackle. I'm wondering if they are allowed a last minute injury substituti...

Re: Antonio Williams gone

I wonder if Williams was reluctant to go on the practice roster. Maybe asked for his release? Seemed like a good guy when I heard him interviewed. But NFL pedigree, I can't say I would be surprised if he did ask for his release. DH :cool: Seems to be lions decision, want a certain type of back for ...

Going out to ubc was a mistake by caps. Basically ignored there.

Re: Lions move business operations downtown

I wonder how long it will take for the club to announce a new practice compound. I am willing to bet this will be within 5 years, 6 max, that they will jump ship from Whalley to be either in Van or Bby. Something with an indoor component to bring those soggy late October through November practices ...

Re: Lions’ OL Phillip Norman suffers ‘significant medical episode’ prior to Wednesday practice

Norman was at practice today. Standing with coaches in oline group.

He was 6-gamed, I assume there is some salary cap mgmt in that since wasn’t dressing with our lack of injuries on oline. I assume he continues to go through medical testing.

Re: Home opener: Lions vs. Elks June 17, 2023

The Lions' depth chart lists Ayden Eberhardt at field WR. Alex Hollins moves to boundary WR, where he will likely get more targets as a replacement the injured Lucky Whitehead (hamstring). The Lions appear to have abandoned their attempt to capitalize on the CFL's new designated nationalized Americ...

Re: Doman not taking his foot off the gas - 2 day Backyard Party

Anyone know the lower bowl capacity with 224 and 230 (endzone) tarps? Still looks to be about 1,000 or less left in the lower bowl, but that capacity number may be 26K with the tarps. Still lots of great seats left in the upper bowl. DH :cool: Wiki whose accuracy is always subjective says lower bow...

Re: Genius? - Apparently not

I wouldn't say "if it ain't broke don't fix it" in this case. Stats have always been pretty slim pickings during the game. Just compare the in game stats board in an NFL game to what we get at Lions games. We should have a full stats board that would fit nicely on the side panels of the b...

Didn’t work in preseason.

Last night worked great. JJ Adams was saying they were faster than tsn.
I couldn’t find any live stats, certainly not by looking in the usual places.
