Home playoff game baby..... it's been way too long!!!

Despite all their perceived flaws, this IS the best Bomber team we've seen for 15 years.  I won't pretend to know what's going to happen in the playoffs but let's enjoy the ride!

Thank you Wade Miller, Kyle Walters, and Mike O'Shea for taking that disgusting 2013 squad and turning it into the foundation for a perennial winner that we have today.

But shouldn't this regime be on the hot seat?

Next weekend isa long weekend for many of us (Monday off)

$3million windfall or the team for getting a home playoff game. That’s a big deal. 

Contrary to popular misconceptions, when Remembrance Day falls on a weekend (Saturday this year) it is not observed on the following Monday (unlike say, Canada Day) as it is not  a statutory holiday. Most people will not get the Monday off. Sorry to be a debbie downer but most people are probably going to figure this out in the upcoming week anyways.

That said, I plan on coming into work on the Monday without a voice from being so loud at the game on Sunday.

Well I get it off. And that’s what matters most. :)

I believe the last time the Bombers hosted a playoff game the break-even was around 25,000.

Not 100% sure, but I believe the Bombers need to pay league fees, stadium costs, visiting team's costs etc., etc..

A sell-out would mean a tidy profit, but no where near 3 million.

I'll be there!!  Do we know a time yet?  I assume it's on Sunday.

 

Edit - Looks like it's going to be at 3:30.

The CFL website says 3:30 CDT, but we won't be on daylight time anymore, so it may change... that being said, I know most people don't know the difference between CDT and CST so it's likely a mistake on the website and the game will start at 3:30... check back tomorrow and it should be right.

Too bad for you guys. It's a stat here in Alberta.

you aren't factoring the cut the Bombers get from the Rum Hut...
