Quote from: TecnoGenius on November 10, 2024, 04:43:15 AMMe & 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.

Although you will be indoors, BC Place is not heated.
Dress as if you'll be sitting in 8°- 12° weather and you should be fine (layers). The concourse area is usually okay but the seating area is noticeably cooler at this time of year.

With 50k+ it'll probably feel warmer than the 2022 WSF.

Enjoy the game!

Thanks Junkie! That's useful info I did not know, and wouldn't have guessed. I was planning on leaving the coats at home. Won't do that now!

We're in the Fairmont near Canada Place... is the Sky Train our best bet to get there? It's too far for my littlest to walk straight to the stadium.

Expo line from Waterfront station to Stadium-China Town station. It'll drop you off across the street from Rogers Arena.

Miserable day in Vancouver today, pouring rain, 4C, wind. Street party very subdued and ended early it seems. Indoor stuff was probably rocking... but decided to swim outdoors in the dark instead. That was a new experience! All well and good until you get out!

So stoked for GC day. It's been a long wait here in Vancouver! Forum is mega quiet tonight. Then again, I guess I'm 2 hours early here, and I'm always the last one on the forum every night.

If I don't get on here before the game, GO BLUE! RECLAIM THE CUP! GET REVENGE FOR '22!

And if they try to take our players out, remember that line from The Untouchables....

More like revenge for 90 years of misery vs Toronto teams in the Grey Cup. I believe the Bombers have NEVER beaten a Toronto team in the Grey Cup EVER, but I could be mistaken.

....HIGHLANDER SAYS THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!

Their luck stops here! I don't care who faces TOR the next 6 times, but I want them to lose every one starting today! Payback's a .....

Law of large numbers remains undefeated!
