Me & both kids are going.  Will be my daughter's first.  She's still very young, but it'll be warm indoors, so I think we'll be ok.

I was going no matter who was going to be in it, but I'm super extra happy we'll be watching Blue & Gold and not Green!

P.S. I'll vouch for Sutton hotel.  Superb property chain.  I'll be at the Fairmont this time.  I'm hoping maybe there'll be a team (ours?) staying there!

See y'all in the rain!

Being a Bomber fan isn't your biggest hobby?!  ;D  ;D  ;D  :P  :P

It sure is heck is mine!  Well, not by $$, but certainly by time!  Although... add up all the CFL trips since 2019... maybe it is also by $$  (yikes!)

I've never been to BC Place.  Always close, but never inside.  So stoked to finally take in a game there.  And a WFC-in-a-cup game!!  Dreams are made of this.

Looking at flight options...not much out there!
Glad I booked early in the year.
Anyone finding any affordable options?  Have a few friends looking.

Go Bombers!
