How is the city not buzzing?? Is it back to back GC losses, so some of the excitement has worn off?? I just got weird looks for saying I couldn't wait to get out to the Pas. I then said Fort Hew? and got the same blank stares. Had to shake my head and walk away at that point.😂 Noeller and Jesse 2

How is the city not buzzing?? Is it back to back GC losses, so some of the excitement has worn off?? Just really struck me as strange.... Thought everyone (restaurants and bars and breweries especially) would have gear on and really amped up for game day. Not so much. I've switched gears at work now and am in more of a marketing role... I would like to talk to the Powers That Be around here about how we can market these things better and all have lots of fun (and hopefully make some money while you're at it....) Season starting earlier likely the biggest culprit. And no preseason games on tsn. Will take a while for people to realize that oh yeah, it's summer and cfl is back HardCoreBlue, Noeller, Jesse and 1 other 4

I checked out Ticketmaster for an idea but didn't feel like counting blue dots. I wish there were less of them to be honest. Everything I had read from CoFaj the last couple of days makes me hate him even more. Barf.

Jesse Posted June 6 Report Posted June 6 (edited) I personally loved the Canada Day starts because I’m a teacher and it was just the best way to start the summer. Last day of school, CFL starts, it was a good time. Edited June 6 by Jesse wbbfan and HardCoreBlue 1 1

Last day of school, then July 1st BBQ and usually a Bomber game. Pure Canadiana. wbbfan 1
greenrider55 Posted June 7 Report Posted June 7 The season does feel like it’s starting too early for sure. Canada Day openers were the best. wbbfan 1
