Quote from: gobombersgo on November 16, 2025, 03:10:07 PMI thought u can bring in up to 1L of water in a sealed container.

The GC guidelines I saw said no liquids of any sort.  That may differ from normal PAS games.  I thought the sealed water allowance was only for that one super hot 30C+ game...

They always make me empty my daughter's sippy cup every time I enter... Ya, because I'm using my young'n to sneak in clear water-smelling booze?  We just refill it at the big water station in 200-level.

P.S. Really liked the GC Designated Driver program WFC did.  Always easy for me!!  It should be a year-round thing (the free pop I mean!).

Not dissing the every-cup regulars!  I saw some at the cup.  It's the general lack of travel desire amongst the "normal" fans.  Besides the "regulars", how many extra showed up?  Probably a dozen at most.

I talked with my Frenchie (MB Frenchie) friend about it and he says the Quebecers are "insular" and don't like to leave Quebec.  I'll take his word for it, he'd know better than me.

...
There should be an agreement where the official airline of the CFL adds a couple of flights at reasonable prices from the 2 participating cities.

No kidding.  The first cup I flew to (2019 CGY) I was shocked that no flights were added when they were all pretty booked.  I bet you could easily fill 2 275-seaters in 1 week with ~ $750ish fares.  Arrive Thu, leave Mon.  Advertise it at the end of the DF games.

From my now 5+ year body of GC experience it's the return flights on Sun night or Mon that are the killer.  Such that it is usually best to come back Tue or Wed.  That's what I did in MTL.  Just make plans to tour the city like you would if there was no game.
