It is a game at Tim Hortons Field - so there will be a breeze - but it is not expected to be anywhere near as bad as last week's game. It will be hot and humid though with temperatures getting up to the 33C range here in the Hammer today with a 30% chance of late afternoon scattered pop up thunderstorms.
By game time forecast temperature in the 29C - 30C range with a humidex in the mid thirties. Winds about 15 km/hr and by evening only a 10% chance of rain.
Soo hopefully we see a better game than the debacle played here on Canada Day.
So far - the weather guys seem to have it right. Some scattered storms seem to be pushing through right now but it looks like they will be totally cleared out of the area in the next half hour or so.
Still about 300 tickets available on Ticketmaster for this one - about 90 minutes to kickoff.
That was plainly one of the best returns of all time that I have watched in the CFL.
Banks even evaded two tacklers who definitely had the angle on him at midfield, and I think he even hurdled one of them. Back to better CFL action already this week indeed!
I’m thinking that many here in the US who saw that play are still watching. I hope it makes ESPN SportsCenter though it has less of an influence any more.
I know man really. :roll: Such scheduling is awful but it so happens for me, for I am off on Thursday and Friday nights for July and until I leave my current job in early August.
Years ago someone on this forum stated that because many Canadians head out to cabins and lakes in the summer on weekends, they move more games to Thursday and Friday. Next week there is even a game on Wednesday. :roll:
I’m not Canadian, but I can understand such reasoning.
