Tow away zones along Boundary for the games. Don't know where the restaurant people will park since I parked at 415 in a 2 hr area that ended at 6.

I have to give a shout out to Lower Mainland football fans that attended last night's game. Steady rain all day (it slowed to a mist/drizzle by evening). 1-4 team playing b-o-r-i-n-g football (at least on offense). 5 straight home losses dating back to last season (including preseason). Still, 24,876 shlepped out to East Vancouver to watch the Lions - that's 90% capacity, and I can tell you first hand that there didn't appear to be many no-shows. That number would have been people that passed through the turnstiles as the only empty seats were in the north endzone. The building was also quite loud throughout.TheLionKing wrote:Going to be interesting to see how many are going in the rain that is expected.

Too bad there was no"real" quality of play .. he might have really been impressed.David wrote: I brought my Dad to the game who lives in NY, and he was quite impressed with everything too - from the temp stadium, to the crowd support, to the quality of play (but the referees? Not so much).

Yes, we were sitting with Eric's dad & stepmum. But I had my Willie Fleming #15 throwback jersey and Lions cap on! We drove over flying the Lions car flag you betcha. While I wish Eric all the success in the world (and he should have been a Lion, especially when I see one of the 3 guys drafted ahead of him by BC playing for a completely other team and whose tenure with BC was shorter than a Britney Spears Las Vegas wedding) I cheer for the guys in black and orange - no exceptions. BTW I think the unis they wore on Saturday are the sweetest in pro football.David wrote:

Actually, I did think of you when I wrote that post. I know you (like me at times) have been critical of Vancouverites' support of the BC Lions, saying it's not a football town. Well, there were many more people in the stadium than I expected and I thought that point should be recognized. I brought my Dad to the game who lives in NY, and he was quite impressed with everything too - from the temp stadium, to the crowd support, to the quality of play (but the referees? Not so much).
