The Bombers should have some try outs!

I was their, got autographs from all expect one table. Security rudely cut me off for the last table. Come on what is one more signature from Bighill and Co? It looked slower than previous years. That was fine more signatures for me. It was bloody hell hot and muggy.

Got done what I wanted to.

It wasn't very busy at all. But also I never heard anything about it. Seemed like it wasn't marketed at all.

All season ticket holders got a direct email which I did. It was for STHs only is what I understand.

It was posted here a couple of days ahead of time... that's all I need! (Thanks ModAdmin!) If I don't see it here, it didn't happen

Had a fun time. My kids love the bouncy castles and they had a fun colouring station at Buzz and Boomer's birthday party with face painting. Free hotdogs and chips and fountain drinks. Wade walking around the concourse mingling with us plebs. Omfg was the heat and humidity crae crae tho.

Always feel the appreciation and community, win or lose.

All that said, does this replace the traditional Sunday-after-Banjo-Bowl fan fest? Hoping for one more of these, as that one takes place in the sweet spot when it's still nice out but after lake season and is kinda perfect. Even more perfect when it's on the heels of whoopin' the Riders the day before.

I am thinking replacement for this year as we have the bye week following Banjo Bowl. Probably players want the extra day off.

I had a nice time too but thinking mid-July is the reason for sparse attendance. Picked up a bomber shirt I am pretty happy with.

I noticed down on the field was really hot, they always say field level is hotter and now I experienced that first hand I must agree. And that was with the new "cool" turf too.
