yeah...that stadium is bare bones generic cheapie....noting about it visually screams high end or even professional....wide open grandstands like that sitting out in open on the shores of a huge lake....dumb

Yup. Very bare bones, cold as ****, no protection at all from the weather. The actual bowl is ok. Everything around it is dirty and looks like they are not maintaining the stadium at all. The bathrooms look like Canad Ins bathrooms.

I am glad they have a new stadium, and they do seem to care.

The stadium was very disappointing.

I said I wasn’t going to cry this year. I cried in 2019 because it was the first Grey cup in my life time. My grandpa coached provincial football and was a hero to me and he  died of cancer in 2016. M

Had to crawl out to the Eagles Club in Victoria to get the game on with sound. Bars are all showing NFL. Was biting my nails the whole time. It was a Ticat crowd in here for whatever reason. There was

I remember when the design was first reported. I was confused at why they would build a stadium straight out of the 1950's. I believe $$$ was a huge factor (obviously) but still to hear about it today....they'll be lucky to get 20 yrs out of it.

Yeah, it is no extras. Very 1950's.

Stole this from Riderfans

first game ever (exhibition)
-first regular season game (our home opener)
-first playoff game (West semi)
-first West final
-first Grey Cup game? Say it aint so.

I hope O'Day has a plan for '22, if the Bombers win the Grey Cup at Mosaic we may have to bulldoze it and start again. If they keep that team together they will certainly be the favourites.

this is content I can use.

The old Ivor Wynne stadium was a craphole.  I remember Doug Brown writing a column about how bad that stadium was, basically trying to shame Hamilton into doing something about what poor condition they were keeping it in (including the lights in the visitor dressing room all being burnt out?).  So they finally decide to get a new stadium, and build an old stadium.  It makes no sense.

I seem to remember him also saying that they had no hot water in the visitors dressing room showers.    

I did check out the old stadium it was as plain as one could imagine.   The concessions were also extremely poor.

So... after back to Back Grey Cup victories over the Ticats- the latest one in a soul crushing defeat in front of 25,000 passionate fans bringing forth a river of ticat faithful tears....  I guess we are now even for this affront:

Ugh... I remember Michael Bishop throwing the INT that led to that TD celebration by the Cats.  That was a win and in situation, and they encouraged all the fans to wear blue to make it a "Blue-out".    And if I recall correctly, that was Kevin Glenn that led the Cats that game, and the Bombers were under the Mike Kelly **** show that year. 

Why are you brining up these painful memories @wanna-b-fanboy???  This is supposed to be a celebration thread!

Right after Adams scored the OT touchdown they panned to Banks on the sidelines with his parka on sitting down with his usual sullen face when things aren’t going his way. A team leader would have been standing up and getting is O crew ready to go score to even things up no? Or am I being too critical? Like c’mon man game ain’t over yet. Like if I’m on the O and I look over to Banks the first feeling I get is NOT inspiration.

Not in the slightest.  I thought/said the same thing. He had completely and utterly surrendered/checked out while they still had a chance.

He whined and checked out of the game in 2019 and he did it again yesterday.

He just strikes me as selfish and self absorbed...not a "team" guy.

Lol...Alexander Nichols bringing his hands to his head as to say, "Arrghhh I could have ended the game", only to realize, "Hey! I helped to end the game!"

We also got absolutely **** stomped 55-10 in the Banjo Bowl that year. The Mike Kelly era was pretty freaking putrid.

That hit by BA was bone crushing.

Was that Rose shoveling it to Wilson and was it deliberate? 

He was definitely deliberately trying to keep the ball alive for sure. I think he was hoping to get the interception but ended up batting it into Wilson's arms instead. Just as good of a result.

Caretaker Bob didn't get much funding help and built what could be afforded. Still a ton better than Ivor Wynne.

Awesome....Nicholls just about to beat himself up for letting the INT go through his hands and then Rose and Wilson say "hold my beer".

Yeah, you're right. Like I said, glad they got it, just disappointing.

It just is starting to look run down already.

I'm really hoping there'll be some kinda get together with the cup over the Christmas/New Year break. I'm gonna be home from the 28th to the new year and will be dropping way too much cash at the Bombers store...
