    Game 2 Off Field Analysis, including "Why doesn't the Pizza Pizza QR code work?"

    You can read the details of the on-field action anywhere, but me? I'm no expert, but I am also interested in what's going on on the scoreboard, in the stands, on the sidelines and so on.


    I hope you might enjoy this Off-the-Field Action Report for Game 2, which includes a detailed forensic analysis of Why the Pizza Pizza Free Slice QR Code Does Not Work.

    Read this somewhere else: Weary of being asked to sing O Canada along with the regular singer. She is slow, scoops every word, adds her own melismas on every line. No one in our section sang along. Oh, nice voice, but can't we participate in singing our anthem? Truly worn out from her inappropriate showmanship.

    Someone else posted that they were at the concert, but could see the BMO Field scoreboard from there and kept zooming in to keep track of the game!

    Thank you for mentioning the all-time Argo inductions. I don't know what logistical considerations there might have been, but I felt a pre-game or halftime ceremony would've been appropriate in this instance.

    That's a wonderful read! Thank you for putting in the effort and time, I really enjoyed it.

    My dream scenario is that they can somehow bring back the Argo football helmet car from the 70's....loved that thing, man!

    Yeah, this felt rushed and inadequate. Game-day ops are no doubt complicated, with too few people doing too many jobs, but a proper tribute would have lasted longer than a commercial break. To be fair, they did interview the guys at halftime, no doubt having realized that the earlier efforts had fallen short. I believe Mookie actually had a mic in hand before he was shooed off the field by the sideline official.

    My son is pleased you noticed the SOGRA thing and that it has been corrected. We sat on the east side last year for the first time to watch the East Final and had a good laugh about that all game long.
