Re: Stadium and Game Day Issues

I would just add to this, regarding the issues with transit, beer lines, and so forth: keep in mind that this whole temporary-outdoor-field thing is new to pretty much everyone involved, not just the fans. The club, the PNE, and everyone putting on the show is obviously having to learn a lot of they...

Re: Stadium and Game Day Issues

I'm usually an early bird (take in warmups etc...). I had no end of trouble getting to the stadium via Transit. Many Taxi's were picking up stranded fans. Caught the 135 from downtown, but it filled up at the first stop and sailed up. So getting there was not a big problem, but we did pass a lot of...

Re: Esks 36 - Lions 32 Post Game Comments

I was at the game on Sunday. Great to sit outdoors for a home game for the first time in 28 years! Once the fans learn to use the noise making capabilities to our advantage, Empire Field is going to be a huge advantage for us. Unfortunately many fans still can't figure out that you should make nois...

Re: OS99 on Bill Good Show this morning to talk tailgating

FWIW, we parked in the ($20) lot at Hasting and Renfrew and saw several TGs going on. The lot attendants didn't seem concerned in the least - the one group had obviously been well underway for some time, and didn't show any sign of shutting down soon (I'm sure those guys missed at least a good porti...

Re: Esks 36 - Lions 32 Post Game Comments

Before everyone gets too worked up over perceived inattention to holes and deficiencies just yet, let's remember that none of us actually know what Wally and the coaching staff are thinking, or know what specific areas they're most concerned about... the overall point of a preseason game like this i...

Re: OS99 on Bill Good Show this morning to talk tailgating

FWIW, Brian has always in the past provided a good, reasonable voice to the media in support of tailgating, always done a great job to portray TGers in general in a good light. It was already on Global News last night, so it's not like people aren't already hearing about it. In fact, that media att...

Re: Esks 36 - Lions 32 Post Game Comments

Trying not to read too much into things, personally, since it IS pre-season and they're still trying some things out. Other than Casey being a little weak, I liked what I saw overall. ST did have some moments, like that blocked kick and turnover - always love when that happens :) We were in section ...

Re: Cell phone companies

Well, I can't say they've been purrfect, but we've been with Telus for something like 16 years (since it was BC Tel Mobility), and they've generally done alright by us. Got a great plan right now: $45/mo. gets me 450 anytime minutes, free evenings and weekends starting at 5pm, and unlimited talk/tex...
