Toronto game is it a road or home game?

The Zipp · July 07, 2026, 02:20:30 AM

kinda strange there hasn't been communication around this. maybe they can't because it isn't a home game?

can't see this one selling out although the forecast is great and it's a friday.

Ya, the comms is pretty bad if I didn't know before last week. And there was zero chatter about it (the STH implications) on here around renewal time. If it isn't mentioned on this forum, AFAIAC it didn't happen!

Why on earth not? If most STHs automatically added it, then the bulk of people will be there, and the casuals probably have no idea what a "home" vs "TOR home @PAS" even is! To them it's just a Bomber game is playing -- do you want to go? ... as long as they know a game is on and that it's not in TOR!

It may differ based on you being a "B4L" member or not??

Quote from: blueandgoldguy on July 06, 2026, 11:44:52 PMIf it sells out, they will count it. If it doesn't sell out...well Wade will probably say it technically isn't a Bombers' home game so the sellout streak will still be intact.

Now that's the correct attitude! Heads we win. Tails we win.

It won't even require much verbiage... just say "The Nth straight sell-out HOME game". Not a home game, never happened (if we don't sell out).

Quote from: GOLDMEMBER on July 06, 2026, 05:44:13 PMAfter discussion with Carol they weren't automatically included in the package, there was an option that we could either opt in for upon renewal or pass up.

My wife handles the Bomber calls, so she must have given the right answer. Good wife!

Like there would be a Bomber game @PAS we all wouldn't want to attend? (Ignoring vacations, etc) My wife knows better than that!

Huh wha? We're still a struggling team, majorly struggled to beat even a QB-less HAM. We didn't do really anything before Zach go injured. Got kind of lucky our ground and ground-ish game was good enough and clearly wasn't planned for by HAM.

And we're opting for just one practice? We need every practice legally allowed, and more! I think every week you're allowed 3. I understand that some weeks, like short weeks, you'd do 2. But 1? Is this Dickenson The Lesser taking the guys bowling when they are 1-6?

And heaven help us if Elgersma, or even Dru, is starting. Those guys will need every last second to work on the book to have a hope of using more than 10% of it.

Quote from: Pigskin on July 06, 2026, 02:33:21 PMOnly one practice this week, which is Wednesday and it's a closed practice. ZC8 will be a game time decision. But, I can see him sitting for Fridays game. Start Dru and give ZC8 the extra week.

Does that actually mean they only have to show up for work one day this week? If they have a light run thru the day before the game is that not considered a practice?

IF Zach isn't good to go, it makes the Dru vs. TE decision a no win.....no matter what they decide it will be second guessed by many and with only 1 practice.....I expect the same roster??? Maybe with Dru added???

If Zach is on IR, then Dru is added as 3rd QB is my guess.

lmao I had no idea this was supposed to be a Bombers away game. It's in my ticket queue and so I'm going...but if I didn't read this thread then I'd have had no idea lol. I certainly didn't opt in or out (B4L member, if that's the difference?)

bomberjunkie · July 08, 2026, 12:36:48 AM

I'm pretty sure it was automatic, unless you asked them specifically to opt out.

Today I got a notification stating this game is now sold out. Good for the Argos.

Stats Junkie · July 08, 2026, 02:53:03 AM

Blue Bombers and Darren Cameron just posted ticket sales at 30,000 and counting.

They are also counting this as 17 in a row.

Worst part is we're now legally obligated to make noise when WPG is on O! Home crowd has to support the home team. Johnston said so
