Thanks for letting us know. Been way too long since I went. One year I'll return.
I'll update as special events are announced.
Thanks Mania
I'm already in! Got great lower bowl seats to. :)
See you that weekend!
I'm on the fence. It'll likely be a loss (unless we waste MTL tomorrow), and my littlest kid can't handle bad losses. Wife won't let me go unless I take the whole crew...
I'll be eyeballing the forecast. If there's bad weather by some stroke of luck, I may snatch some cheapos on stubhub and drive out last minute. I don't mind a rain game.
Actually a rain game should help us. SSK can run, but they are more reliant on a zillion little passes to run their normal O.
I have a feeling that one way or another we'll be back in SSK come post-season: I can get my Regina fix in then.
I've never been to a Labour Day classic game, or any game there for that matter.
I'm tempted to go, especially since I can't be at the Banjo Bowl this year.
Is there any chance of getting decent tickets this late? Lower bowl, upper bowl, but good view? I wouldn't want to drive all that way and not have a good experience, will there be tickets last minute (as in a day or two ahead) for decent seats?

It's fun. I love going to WPG @ SSK games. You should go for it.
Their stadium is kind of a copy of ours. All seats between the 25's are good.
Keep an eye on stubhub and the fans first or whatever it's called. (TM is useless for resale as they never let it go below face value.) If you can hold out until the last minute (like day/night before or morning-of) then there's usually someone trying to unload (got sick last minute, car broke down, whatever).
However, if there's exceptionally high demand because their team is looking like world-beaters for the first time in years, then prices may remain well above face.
If the forecast sours, we can all get tickets less than face as a huge dump will occur.
If you're just needing a single ticket, regardless of weather you can often find a deal because singles are very hard to re-sell.

Thanks - this is really helpful!
I actually went into the stadium a couple summers ago when I was at a hockey thing next door for my daughter. It was open so I walked in and checked it out. The seats aren't as nice (the actual seats - seemed a bit smaller, less room in lower bowl). It definitely seemed like any rain would hit almost everyone in lower bowl. I don't care about that if going there for a game, just comparing to our stadium - most of lower bowl on sides are covered. I'm row 3 and I don't get very wet if it is raining. that's a big difference.
I didn't walk around much though, so I wonder what it is like for that? It is annoying in our stadium, especially when morons stand around in a circle where people are trying to walk by. Again, no issue for going to a game there, just wondering how it all compares to our stadium.
So thank you for the advice - I will watch this a bit. It may just be time to finally make the trek!
More room in concourses. A lot more, I'd say.
I think it's 6 flights of stairs to get to upper (compared to our 4), so many will not want to be going up/down much once you're in your spot.
If you want chow, get it by the end of half time. Every time I've been there they are sold out of many/most real food choices by mid-3rd Q. Always strikes me as completely braindead. (Might be just the upper level, since that's usually where I sit.)

I believe Bonfire Sports has been promoting a bus tour to the LDC through the 1930 Crew and there may still be a few seats left which is a much better experience than going by yourself. Everything is included and you'll get decent seats sitting with a mob of crazy Bomber fans.

Sounds like you're just making up any excuse not to go. Pity.
Hope you can make it techno but I understand your situation
Harder with kids in tow
Have fun everyone and thanks for the info!
Quote from: GOLDMEMBER on August 21, 2025, 11:23:31 AMSounds like you're just making up any excuse not to go. Pity.
LOL. Well, wife won't allow an alone excursion...
Not sure I want to pay $300 a ticket for 200-level times 3 if the game stays in high demand... I spend a lot on CFL, but I'm not nuts.
And it's not looking great for a win unless SSK takes tons of injuries vs CGY. You try sitting with a crying very young girl for an hour post-game!
Tell you what, if we start getting rain looks by the day before, I'll be there. And I don't see how I won't be at a potential SSK home playoff game in the cold...

why won't she let you go alone?
As for the the toilet seat (Mosaic) the concourses are large and inclosed with brick Tyndall stone.
The seats are flimsy and green. They fit me like a glove but bigger trunk dudes will need to suck it in to fit at all.
EZ to get beer and take a wiz.
Fans have been nice lately.
Usually I'm the issue. :P

Basically! Small kids (well 1 is small). I could do it... I can have & negotiate anything, but it would probably come at a steep price on the other side! Plus, I really love being with my kids. It turns out I'm raising quite a football family.
Just need to get over the cry-when-lose thing with the youngest. So weird, my son never cried at the (rare) loss. The daughter... everything is emotional! Maybe another year or 2...
I'm hoping for bad weather, as now I'm looking forward to us all going. I really do love it at LDC. Always fun.

Mosaic has "premium" seats which are still affordable. Not high end or super high end (not Pinnacle), but "better than normal". There's really no equivalent at PAS. (Mosaic does "perfect price discrimination" much better than we do.)
If you are bigger/taller, the premium areas have bigger seats and each seat has a gap to the next seat, and more leg room. It's quite nice.
I sat there last time I went LDC. My only gripe is the cheapest of the premium is down near the 25ish, which is a little farther away from C than I'm accustomed to.
Let's get down to business. The bombers have some injured receivers. I believe ND10 will be back, but does Max draw in for Sterns, or is DS83 ready to go??
Like to see Houston get into the line up. Probably replaces Lawson.
Can we keep BO20 rolling.
Riders are favoured by 5.5
We shouldnt bring in Schoen if theres a risk of aggravating his injury.
If we have to wait a week thats ok Better than the season
Quote from: Pigskin on August 24, 2025, 11:08:31 PMCan we keep BO20 rolling.
Going to be hard. SSK limited Mills pretty well in the first H.
SSK D is basically built around stopping the run and getting pass pressure. That's how they can afford to have a weaker DB corps. Mace's whole philosophy is to own that line.
There will be a lot of 0 & 1 yard runs up the gut in the first half. How long do we sacrifice first down production to play the "keep them honest" game. Maybe Brady bouncing outside at times might help. We also can't just fake to Brady on RPO every time. Sometimes you have to "R" it or they won't bite.
Maybe just bypassing their strength by going pass/sweep-mostly is the key. And including Brady as a fake blocker for dump passes might help. Throw it to Ike and Eli too.

"My wife is amazing"
Let her prove it by letting you off the hook for 1 LDC. :)
Lots more nervousness on the Riderfan forum than you'd think for a league-leading 8-2 team...
They're ripe for the picking. In 2.5 weeks we could be tied for 1st!

He keeps that in his sig precisely for the reason that one day, his wife will see it and she will be flattered and release him for a weekend. Probably won't happen but it's worth a shot. I get it.

i always thought he left his browser open one day and she went in there and added that to his profile.

We would be in first place if the Bombers sweep the Riders and the Elks sweep the Stamps.The Bombers would be in first because they would have won the season series vs the Riders and the Stamps would be two points back.
No injury report (no practice) for EITHER WPG or SSK? Do both teams practice Tues? This will be one interesting week for injuries. I can't wait to see if T.Harris get a "vet day"...
Edit:
SSK practices are: Wed 10:40am, Thu 10:40am, Fri closed practice.
So we won't hear anything from them until Wed.
Practice today will start at 11:30. Sounds like the only open practice for the week.
Quote from: Pigskin on Today at 02:54:19 PMPractice today will start at 11:30. Sounds like the only open practice for the week.
There should be 2 open practices this week as there can only be 1 closed practice.
Heading over today, just in case.
Bring ear plugs. They always pipe in the noise when we go to Sask. It ranges from unpleasant to painful.

Kramdi DNP, Ankle.
Hallett DNP, running sprints. Eye
Sterns DNP, Shoulder.
Schoen practicing and looking VG.
Demski DNP, but out there having fun and running sprints.
Houston getting regular reps with #1 D.
Cobb getting regular reps with the #1 O.
Parker DNP,. He does look like he is returning anytime soon.
DBs with some nice picks.

Now we have to worry about Kramdi not playing? That would screw with the ratio and we'd see a lot more of Jake Kelly.
Not worried about Nic, he will play. Kramdi was doing some running and acceleration drills. He might need a couple of days and a roll of tape. Sterns I would say will be at least one game. Definitely having some right shoulder issues.

Kramdi return to the game last week, I'm sure he's just getting some extra rest.
