Fan Fest STH holder pick up

GOLDMEMBER · May 28, 2023, 05:23:57 PM

I arrived early and I was in and out of there in about 15 minutes. Very efficient. Tickets were already in my Bomber account. Plus I got two T-shirts and a grey cup replica ring for 40 bucks. What a deal! Free popcorn or chips. Darby Alexander and D Brown on hand for autographs.

I beat the rush! It was getting insanely busy as I left.

Got there at 12:45pm and the STH line went from the Pinnacle Club to the Bomber Store.

Grabbed a hot dog and a drink instead, will go back sometime during the week.

They shut down at 2 but still let people in to pick up tickets. I thought I was the last one in the building but nope. In fact the Bombers came on the field after 2:15ish and were doing some running. Bighill was there running and still looking healthy. At the risk of sounding weird I will say a shirtless Jake Thomas surprised me with how much muscle he has, just his tummy that is fat. Do we still call him fatboi? I see now why his bull rush is effective.

I got there on time and the line was around the stadium. So let the kiddos play on the field for an hour and then we took off (the line was even longer by then).

Anyone know how/where to pick things up now?

My assumption is the Bomber Store, but that?s just a guess.

We got there around 1030 and was in and out in no time! We sat outside and visited and all the players came for a meeting so we got pics and chatted with all of them! Seeing Rasheed was the highlight of my day

Didn't know you could go early...the invite said it started at 11.

I will also have to go back to get my package, but nonetheless it was a great event. Very nice touch with all the stuff on the field for kids.

One recommendation: next time set up tables throughout the concourse organized by starting letter of your last name and then everyone could spread out to much shorter lines. That was my only qualm.

A good friend of mine had a cardiac event and was taken off the field in an ambulance.

He is resting at the St. B right now. Waiting for some test results. I think he will be there for a few days.

this makes all the sense in the world. Use all the concourse not just the pinnacle room.

Sorry to hear someone had a health problem. Let that be a reminder to us stubborn people, go see your Dr. regularly. A physical, blood work, and lose some weight. It's football season! we all want to cheer on the Blue either at the stadium or from our Lazy-Boy.

Two more days for the Riders. Warm weather, maybe the traditional, almost legendary Prairie Thunderstorm. Can it get any better?
Go Bombers!
