| 2024 BC Lions
Looks like the CFL survived COVID. In pursuit of the Grey Cup. The oldest professional football trophy in North America. This will be the 109th, I believe. Want to see BC Lions engraved on it, hee hee.......... not likely.
Anyway, looking forward to the games. Like I've mentioned before, win or lose, I'll always follow them. This will be the second year without our family friend, Kato, on the sidelines. RIP. https://www.bclions.com
Roar, Lions, ROAR!! Addendum: This year's Grey Cup game will be held in Kisiskatchewanisipi (Saskatchewan, for you non indigenous guys, lol).

Last season tailgating was not allowed............ just did a search and found this. I imagine it's from years ago https://bclionsden.ca/tailgating/
Then, there's Calgary.......... https://www.stampeders.com/tailgating/

no fun allowed in Vancouver, right. I went to a Stamps game a few years ago,and got right lit before the game, and scarfing down burgers and dogs. John Hufnagel came by and made sure we were having fun, no way that would happen here.

I dearly miss Empire Stadium. Hell, I even miss watching hockey at the Pacific Colosseum. Oh, and baseball at the Nat.

I thought I missed hockey at the PC for awhile after they moved, but it’s actually a pretty abysmal place, especially by todays standards.

I was referring to the atmosphere of those places. Venues have to keep up with the times. Technology, creature comforts, etc. Empire Stadium. The view of the mountains. Then again, the rain, lol. Fans would be crying the blues.

At least prior to Covid. They were attracting a younger demographic and actually doing a much better job with cheap beers, etc. than the Lions had previously.
A friend mentioned they will have $20 tickets this season? Might be a step in the right direction

The Lions win! Home game opener victory against the Green Riders!
20-18! It's only a pre-season victory though. An early sign of a winning season?
Roar Lions roar!

That wasn’t the season opener.
That’s why both starting QBs played less than a full game. The other QB for BC, another Canadian, did a decent job. Is it just me, or are the play by play, color, and panel sound like they’re high on drugs or something. It’s like they’re overdoing things a bit. TSN camera work was pretty good. Crisp and sharp. Way better than Sportsnet. Now if you can get coverage of TSN with announcers from Sportsnet (at least Blue Jays staff), it’d be pretty awesome.
Next game will be the season opener. Against the Elks at BC Place Stadium. Should be Edmonton Elk and not Elks, yes? Like Toronto Maple Leaves, lol.
Sitting in McDonalds in Ferndale mooching off their Wi-Fi. Hee hee………..

I'll keep tabs of all our teams and watch highlights at the very least. I heard the lower bowl was selling really well so they might consider opening up the top? Would be nice to see a solid crowd it has looked sad for so long.

Surprised they are selling out, haven’t really seen much change in terms of marketing etc.

I've got tix ... wife's company was raffling off 50 tickets and we won 2. Maybe a lot of corporate giveaways to get to near sold out status? There is absolutely nothin about the BC Lions that should generate any buzz ... no big name signings, no promising results, etc.

The new owner and the commissioner got completely grilled by Halford and Brough on 650 these past weeks. The commissioner basically said “we need to get younger fans” without any sort of plan
Doman, the new owner seemed a little more optimistic but he really didn’t lay out anything substantial that made me want to go. Honestly a sold out lions crowd is almost a deterrent to me going lol.. If the upper bowl is open I may be more willing to go and have some space In the section, but then again it turns into a big hassle with concessions etc. if they just half ass open the upper bowl and funnel everyone to 2 concessions it totally ruins the experience

So what was the Big Lions news if any recently? I recall an interview with the new owner say maybe 4 months ago? He said there was something big coming but he can't reveal it yet. So what was it lol

BC Lions is actually my client, I'm having lunch with their head office folks in July.
I'll pick their brains to see what the hell has changed, outside of new ownership of course.
The new owner is young and engaged, so I'm sure they have a good plan ahead.
