101th greycup tickets

[1argoholic]

I came up with it while watching a Rider home game this year. You never see fans from other teams at Mosaic. Seems to me as that would be very boring with just green and white and no other fans to get chirping at.
Had my faith in some Rider fans still being solid cool fans when I met about 10 very cool fans at the Argo Bash on Friday at Grey Cup. Normal cool fans. I'm so used to the newer Rider fans who get all hopped up on PIL and act like a pack of fools.

You mean the ones who jumped on the bandwagon in 2007?

Those fans, especially the young ones are embarrasing to us that have been around since the '70s and many before that.

Give the riders a season or two of losing, and they will be gone.

I don't get to Taylor feild (I don't call it Mosaic!) very often (I live in Prince George) but I get to Calgary and Vancouver at least once a year. It is fun bantering with the other teams' fans, but it is also a lot of fun (if you're a Rider fan) going to a game at Taylor feild, the atmosphere is off the hook crazy, esecially if it's a night game.

I've only been there for the last two Grey Cups. I can't get over how tiny Regina actually is.

Ya, it's not a very big city, that's for sure, but they do Grey Cup right (except for the hotel situation) I've been to 13, and the two in Redchina are the best ones, imo.

It will be my first. We'll see if the home team can take it three years in a row like the argos did from 1945-47 except it was only one team in the same city.

I will make an early prediction that that streak will end in 2013.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you.

But I honestly don't think Regina could handle a Grey Cup with the riders in it anyway.

I was in Calgary in '09 and I think the entire province was there as well. If the Riders were to play in Regina every rider fan on the planet would want to be there!

I didn't expect the Argos to be in the 100th Grey Cup a year ago yesterday (today's the 1st anniversary of the Ray trade) so anything is possible with the Roughriders. Calgary and British Columbia should be strong once again, but it's worth waiting until the off-season plays it out before making any definite predictions.

and on other planets too.

Lions fans didn't expect it in the 99th either after starting 0-5 in 2011. There's some weird mojo happening in the cfl.

Just bought my rider season ticket to reserve my grey cup seat so I'm now all set. Good luck getting there argos.

youza, that is expensive. Guess i'll be skipping this one!

Just curious about parking at the stadium in regina?..i have a 30ft motorhome..would they let me in with it?..then obviously i would be too drunk to drive it home aftr the game...PRESTO...no need for a room

would it work?

I think guys do this for regular season games but as for a grey cup... tough to say... Better to beg forgiveness than ask permission i say...

[294life]

I rented a car at the saskatoon airport. If I can park it anywhere within 3 miles of the stadium i'll be happy. there's a big mall nearby where i can sit and wait for the gates to open. nice and cozy and i can stock up on winter gear.

Word going around is that Season Ticket holders of other team got offered Grey Cup tickets, only ones available are the $300 endzone ones.

I logged into the pre-sale and have been sitting at the front page for the past 10 minutes. Doesn't seem overly promising at this point but I hope it comes through.....

[mchesher03]

I got a pair of the $239 ones through the Argos pre-sale code. Took about 20 minutes to first log into the site and then purchase but will be worth it to see the Boatmen repeat this fall.
