Have not read any information regarding the GREY CUP parade . Surely there will be a GREY CUP parade somewhere around the Rogers Center festival area .

I haven't either, however I doubt there will be one.
There wasn't last time in 2007, as we city slickers are an overly sophisticated stuck up kind.
Pity.

Should be a 100th Grey Cup parade. Many great things developed because of the parade. My wifes grandmother was one of the buch from Calgary back in the day that rode horses into the Royal York Hotel. I've had four many great Grey Cup parade moments including walking with a bunch of drunked Argoholics in Winnipeg in 91, Calgary in 93, Hamilton in 96 and Edmonton in 97. Winnipeg and Hamilton were both priceless as we got every name in the book spewed at us. I got on the front on the Toronto Sun in Hamilton as I held my little wee Grey Cup and was kissing it. The fans wanted to kill me. Man it was a blast. I kept yelling Argo Wynne Stadium through my pylon. Great memories.

I thought they said that this year the Grey Cup parade will merge with the Santa Claus parade.

I heard that to. Dave Braley will play Santa Claus to give it an Argo flavour.

There are plans for (an official!) Fan Parade on Grey Cup Sunday. Stay tuned for more details. (The band's in it, Saskatchewan's band too.)

You just ruined the fan parade by saying the Sask band is in it. They Shouldn't Be Seen Or Heard. I can't stand that old bag.

FYI - there's a 100th Grey Cup float in the Santa Claus Parade.

Perhaps we need another protest march. This went over pretty well in 2007 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcTH32SQ6fg

It seems to me that it's a shame to not have a Grey Cup parade on our 100th anniversary that is unique to the CFL. Even, if it were then discontinued in the following years, there should be one on the Grey Cup's 100th birthday to commemorate the great tradition it represents and how it is has helped build up the Grey Cup as the country's number one annual event.

To me it'll just be a huge pain where I sit to have all those rug rats and their families getting in the way of a good party. haha. Can you tell I'm not a daddy. I have to say I like the upside down clowns though. I mean how do they walk on their hands for so long. haha

Adriano Belli is gonna be Santa Claus ! One of the reasons why they brought him back. Thought he might accidentally crush a few elves along the way....
