Did you?

You have to be at the game to receive one.

Of course I know that. Some of them who received them didn't bother to wear them.

And...?

Those who didn't wear them could be inconsiderate.

Where were you sitting, because every damn body in our section was wearing them, as well as everyone I saw in the concourse and in the lineups. The Pavco and security staff all had them on too. Interesting. 8)

I don't think they were being handed out in Robbie's computer room. I'm sure he has a picture of one though.....

The official team site can't spell Clermont correctly??

Oct 25 3,000 Jason Claremont Bobbleheads BC Lions

Okay, time for me to make catch up on the post-game giveaways discussions now that the official promotions informations has been provided.

July 4 - 10,000 Leo Trading cards
How many of you were among 10,000 that got trading cards? Which card did you get?

July 4 - 400 Ceramic mugs (sec giveaway)
And how many were one of the real lucky ones to get a 400 ceramic mug? What did the mug look like?

July 18 - 40,000 commemorative buttons BC Lions
With a final attendance of 37,174, that meant that everyone got one with 2,826 to spare. But suppose there was indeed a sellout as discussed in the other thread about jamming the dome for Ackles, then that would have meant that nearly 20,000 couldn't get one. :x :x :x

BC Place didn't even have the consideration of getting at least 60,000 buttons just in case there was indeed a sellout for the sake of Ackles.

July 25 - 1000 Thundersticks
How many of were part of the section that got 1000 Thundersticks? What does that stick look like?

Hmmm, Lions shoulda have them like this:

Ladies:

Remember to arrive early so that you will be one of the 3,000 ladies who will receive a pink tote bag.

So ladies, after being inspired by Shelion, did you get that pink tote bag?

I got my tote bags!

Great, Shelion! Other ladies?

Okay, much belated:

Aug 22: 4,000 Lunch boxes (12 & under)

Did your kids get a new lunch box as they get ready for back to school time?

Mine did. He was excited to take it to school to start grade 1.

On a related note, I am not sure if other giveaways are like this, but whats with having to get up and leave at the start of the 4th quarter to go get the lunch box? Talk about crappy timing.
