Best Seat In The House: Larry Thompson's journey to Elks' ownership

Larry Thompson remembers his first steps into Clarke Stadium in 1972. He was 12 years old and remembers sitting alongside his stepfather in the old stadium’s grandstands and watching streams of larger-than-life athletes take the field. He was captivated.

“I think Amar has done a lot of super good things with the club,” he said. “He’s very good at entertaining fans. He’s brought entertainment back into BC and he’s hired the right people. They’ve got a good quarterback, and they just got another good one back from down south."

Yup - that’s the right direction…

Agree with @Squishy21 , this is the right kind of owner you want for a club like the Eskimos.

Congratulations Mr. Thompson. It’s nice to see a hard working local entrepreneur stepping up. Obviously passionate about his CFL and his team. There’s great talent on that team. I’m sure things will improve in Edmonton.
As a CFL fan, I can’t wait to see what will come to this team in the near future.
