Grey cup is going to keep getting outperformed by doman and waiting until the last minute isn’t helping.

M.J. @sportsandplants.bsky.social · 10h

This committee didn’t even try

M.J. @sportsandplants.bsky.social · 10h

I’d rather sit through preseason in May than sit outside in -20 in November.

Like everyone’s at the riders party and in fact they’re at capacity and you can’t get in and no one is at the Redblacks party.

M.J. @sportsandplants.bsky.social · 11h

Really? I thought the half time show was on the grey cup committee

M.J. @sportsandplants.bsky.social · 11h

So what I think I’m hearing is the grey cup should always be in bc?

Pro: we’re indoors
Pro: mountains and ocean
Pro: train downtown from airport
Pro: knowing who the half time show will be and know that the lions will spend $ to have a great act

Con: hotel prices

Is this the league or the bombers grey cup committee?

M.J. @sportsandplants.bsky.social · 11h

When did they go on sale? Were they just released for grey cup ticket holders?

M.J. @sportsandplants.bsky.social · 11h

Ok so $99 was a screaming deal.

Interesting

M.J. @sportsandplants.bsky.social · 11h

I think it’s for the “Canada’s social” branding? This way you can hop all over the place to lots of venues?

How much were individual team party tickets last year?

M.J. @sportsandplants.bsky.social · 11h

Help me understand because $99 for 3 concerts and all the team parties seems like a good deal?

What am I missing?

Apparently...The Winnipeg Grey Cup committee thought it was a fantastic idea to sell ONLY 3 day team party passes tied with the concert series. So no single day passes, and not selling at the door. An awful lot of GC vets are frozen out and rightly pissed off.

M.J. @sportsandplants.bsky.social · 11h

also if we only knew who was playing at these concerts

Why have the blue jays decided to only try and hit the long bomb?

Traffic on the bases, small ball, smart defence. The way they played all year, why abandon it now?!

The Blue Jays have dropped both home games of the ALCS and the Mariners are up 2-0.

Rude of the 2024 blue jays batters to show up for the 2025 #alcs

Turns out the mariners are definitely not the Yankees
