Gotta figure its going to be sold out. The casual fan is going to want to be there after a year and a half of nothing. We freakin' better be able to sell out after a Grey Cup win+pandemic!

As they say on the website, they're awaiting approval from the province to allow out of province fans to attend. Hopefully that gets worked out before too long. Have a chance to be there on the 29th, and would enjoy being at the stadium, but definitely understand the current situation...

Darren Cameron has mentioned a few times that the team is working on getting this resolved.
July 15, 20213 yr Author comment_509435 the wife is pretty bummed about it (but hoping for a miracle) but honestly, for me........ I've been in Alberta for 14 years now. I can't even begin to put into words what an incredible feeling it is for me to be in Winnipeg on a Bombers game day. I was saying to the boys in our group chat that its' almost a religious experience for me. I took it for granted for 27 years, but not anymore. Whether I watch the game at the stadium or at a bar, or out at our cottage at Victoria Beach, or wherever......it's an indescribable feeling of joy just being in the province on game day.

In all of our lives, there is usually only one place that feels like home. I have lived in four provinces and Winnipeg is home to me. When we returned after three years in Alberta, the sense of being where I belonged was overwhelming and got better every day. Its an imperfect city in an imperfect province, but its home, now and forevermore. Edited July 16, 20213 yr by Tracker

There's going to come a day (hopefully before too long) when I'll be able to come home again, and I almost can't even wrap my head around how good it's going to be. I lay awake at night dreaming about it.

Live in Manitoba, long time season ticket holder, doubly vaccinated, but one shot (the 2nd) happened in Ontario and Manitoba Health does not have my updated vaccination record, despite me sending them all the info. So for now I can’t get the passport, and I confirmed with the Bomber office that nothing else will suffice, even though I have other documentation that shows I am fully vaccinated. So I may be barred from going to the stadium because Manitoba Health has screwed up their records despite me giving them all the correct info. Hope to get it all corrected before August 5.

I've seen a small sample of the issues with the vaccine records and that does not surprise me one bit. Between system errors and the huge data entry backlog, mb health has a very big hole to dig out of.

Well Noeller, our adopted province has really gone down the toilet bowl the past 28 months with Jason Kenney as Premier. Alberta ia beautiful place to live but politically it's become ugly. I don't know what to think anymore. The pandemic has brought out the worst in everybody & shown how weak & ineffectual Jason Kenney is as our Premier. Disappointed as an out of province fan I can't buy tickets as I'm double vaxxed. I have no idea what "being worked on" means.... Our dumbass Premier says AB won't issue domestic passports to show proof of vaccinations & the anti vaxxers supporters here cheer wildly. Thye vast majority of Albertans vaccinated would support something to show they're vaxxed but that ain't happening. I'm sure hoping that Albertans remember this clusterfuck of a government & vote Kenney out in less than 2 years.

If we were able to maintain the TV deal without them, then GTFO and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. The Toronto centre media in this country claims we all love the Blue Jays & Raptors. They think we even love the Leafs ahead of our own NHL teams. Well .... them. Never in a million years will I ever like or cheer for any pro sports team from Toronto. For reasons like this.
