I have been to 1 greycup and 1 final
Was at 94 GreyCup in Vancouver. I live 4 hours away. To watch last second fieldgoal beat Baltimore Stallions.
Also at I think 1988 West final- in Edmonton to watch Eskies crush Leos. It was -30 or something like that and lots of snow-
froze and of all things left the lights on my car and a family waited to give us a boost. He said "we feel sorry for you killing your lions, and now you have a dead battery!"
I said I'm an Esks fan first :lol:
I've been to 2 Grey Cups (95, 03) and 1 West final (07)
I have been to a playoff game in Calgary in 06, although it was the West semi.
Unfortunately I just don't have enough friends who are big enough fans to take the week off to soak in the Grey Cup atmosphere. If I'm going to go to a Grey Cup, I'm going to do it right and take in the week long festivities as well.
That’s the only way to do it. I go with my Dad and two brothers and a couple straglers that are basically family now. It is always a good time. We make it out there thursday and shut down Riderville every night.
I have been to 1 Western final. I western semi-final (not sure the years..lol), but this will be my first Grey Cup.. How awesome that my team is in it..Go Riders Go!!!
This will be my 6th Grey Cup. 5th in a row. Last year was so much fun. Calgary is a beautiful city. Hopfully Edmonton will be a blast! I'm flying out Thursday morning.
Though I've been a fan for as long as I can remember (since the early '60s), this will only be my second Grey Cup. I previously saw the Eskies beat the Als 17-6 at the Big Owe in 1979 at the 67th Grey Cup. One of my favourite memories of all cups was All-Star Waddell Smith's waving goodbye touchdown in that game.
