August 5, 20213 yr comment_511517 Thanks for mentioning. Gate assignments not that clear on ticket or in info sent by mail. FYI for those that didn't look closely, it's on ticket details I'm gate 2 as well.

Good deal, for sure. I think we'll definitely be using one of the bar park and rides on the 29th......absolutely can't wait. This is my "local" and was this close to using for today's transportation..... Until I saw they plan to leave 1 hour before the game starts. Those people will be lucky to inside by the end of the 1st quarter.Â

August 5, 20213 yr Author comment_511556 Okay, jusy arrived. Long lines to get in but gates just opened. Bus was quick and smooth along rapid transit corridor. I'm at gate 4 and they're encouraging people to go to other gates. Edited August 5, 20213 yr by JCon
August 5, 20213 yr Author comment_511559 Mask wearing in the concourses not very high. No enforcement.Â
August 6, 20213 yr comment_511561 Anyone coming in still and seeing this- avoid gate 1 and 4 at all costs. Came in my gate 2 and absolutely zero hassle

August 6, 20213 yr comment_511949 Traffic was hell getting in and back out. Concessions were a disaster. The only worse game day experience I can remember was the very first IGF game.  They’ve got 2 weeks to figure it out before we are going back so hopefully they have things sorted by then.  Being at a game and seeing them win, priceless.Â

August 6, 20213 yr comment_511982 Anyone else still in line for a beer and a Shwarma?  Honestly, the lines at the concessions need to move faster.  More runners, more beer taps, more cans, or less selection.  It took 19 minutes to get food for us at the short line west side upper concourse, and we were only behind 20 people.  Some lines were likely 100 people long.  Luckily, there weren’t lines at the washrooms.

This was absolutely awful yesterday .. between the wait and the congestion it had me saying to myself, "I won't even bother next game."  That's a shame. On a side note, did anyone happen to figure out where they were offering TransCanada Brewing / Brazen Hall beers? I was looking forward to something local but was disappointed when a couple of different vendors indicated they had no clue what those were.

I think that they're set up at either end of the stadium, on the main floor.  For the upper west side, I got two beers upon arrival but they only had one credit card machine and that machine had troubles getting a good signal. I was lucky that I got those beers early because I wasn't going to stand in those long lines.Â
August 6, 20213 yr comment_511987 Getting in was great, much better than I thought. Yeah, avoided food saw the lines for that and it was insane.

It wasn't hard for me to do the same in return for them. Its just a matter of being decent and respectful, not ignorant or fearful. Being polite to strangers is optional but I do it anyway. I see this much the same.

August 6, 20213 yr comment_512000 I thought entry to stadium was fine and a breeze all things considered, and lines for concessions...is what it is suck it up...try going to a 60 to 90k stadium capacity and get back to me...suck it up buttercups. On a real good note the one liqour/beer vendor where we came in at Gate 1 had debit down...so drinks were free as free could be!!...not sure how long that lasted but was a bonus...luckily I had some actual cash on me so the servers got a fat tip from us Â
August 6, 20213 yr comment_512002 Didn't attend but am curious about how the vaccine checks went. Heard anecdotally that they weren't checking some people at all.

Heard anecdotally that they weren't checking some people at all. I can only speak to what I saw.... The young man who scanned my card wasn't checking ID. Just scan and go. Also, security reminded him TWICE to stay in one place and not try to work up and down the line, potentially missing people.Â
August 6, 20213 yr comment_512006 My wife and I just laughed at the fact that besides 600+ days between the last game there and the one last night, somehow, some way, University Crescent was still under construction.
