    It seems some people just can't enjoy both. They have such an inferiority complex about our game that they have to throw insults out to try & convince themselves & others that our game is bett

  • I’m looking more at the play by play announcers and can’t understand why they’re talking about the game, players and backgrounds. Where’s the nicknames? Where’s the deep, deep analysis of what the pla

    I've never been to an NFL game but I got a similar experience when I painted our living room and then sat down and watched it dry.  Same excitement but tickets were way cheaper.

I'll wear my Reggie White Packers jersey.

 

I assume it will be easy to spot Raiders fans as they'll all have machetes.

Oooo thanks for the reminder.  Prob should get a new one & not wear my knockoff Matthews #52.

I expected high prices.  I didn't expect prices that high.  

It was what I expected,TBH.  The Bombers were sure to point out, in their email, that they didn't set the prices:

"Ticket prices, which are determined by On Ice Entertainment, range from $75.00 to $375 CDN."

My regular seats are $340 each for this game.    I just don't see the value here.  It's a preseason game.  I'm going to pass on this.   I hope it works and they fill the place and make lots of money.  Best case scenario is they fill it with Americans who come up, spend a pile of money, and then leave.

I just can't do it at these prices. Was going to take my oldest but I would rather save the money and make a trip out of it to Minneapolis to see a regular season game and, hopefully, a Twins game. Or, maybe later in the season to see a Timberwolves or Wild game.  

The excuse I heard from TSN morning show guys said they heard from NFL that the prices are higher due to the fact that IG Field doesn't hold as many people so they need to charge more to get the same result as they would in a higher capacity stadium. Like the guys on the radio said, it is what it is. either pay the prices or stay at home.

Agree. Going down for a Vikes game you get to really experience the atmosphere, which you won't get here. And yeah it's great to turn it into a multi-game affair.
