It was pretty good overall for its second year. Just look at how long it's taken Grey Cup week to evolve into what it is today.
For Friday night it seemed like they could have scheduled something more at the Convention Centre. If there was no Jets game I probably wouldn't have gone to the Bombers tailgate.
My suggestion is to have a CFL players skills competition on Friday night. The league kept on mentioning that 52 players were brought to CFL week but the truth is most of them weren't accessible to the fans.
Saturday afternoon there was a bit of lull for events. They should have had players from each team at the Convention Centre signing autographs. As it was most of players that signed autographs were Bombers or former Bombers . I believe the only none Bomber was Greg Ellingson. The line-up for Doug Bown, Matt Dunigan and Milt was probably 90 minutes long and they were only there for an hour. Clearly there's an appetite for autographs.
The CFL tweet-up was a disappointment as it was nothing like what they have at the Grey Cups. There was no players, no engagement, no pictures with the Grey Cup, no contests etc. It seemed more like an end of day wind-up for CFL staffers that worked the events.
