July 16, 201411 yr comment_67019 lol was at the bomber store today with the girlfriend, seriously just saying but.. the bomber store is really the only place you can get clothes at that actually don't suck. We went to River City near Polo, 98 percent of that shop is Jets Stuff, what the heck really, had more rider "clothing" than bomber stuff, made no sense. Anyway, while we were there several bombers were leaving, turner,sherman,anderson, sears, suber, several others also... but at the bomber store, we were there for a good 30 45 minutes cuz shopping for a girl is difficult And yeah, seriously, tons of people, lots and lots of people. Bodes well for tomorrow for sure. 3 rows up on the main bowl for myself, will be fun, honestly, Well over 30,000 im sure. +29, no rain, south wind.. Yup gonna be a beauty. Report

July 16, 201411 yr comment_67071 Do the Bombers have another Bomber Store location? They really should look into it, the stadium is pretty far flung. Even if they just operated a kiosk at St Vital or Polo Park. Report

Even if they just operated a kiosk at St Vital or Polo Park. They had a kiosk downtown last year around Christmas at the Manitoba Hydro building, but I don't think it's there anymore. Report
July 16, 201411 yr comment_67074 I think they had an outlet shop in either Polo Park or St. Vital when Hawker Jeff Bannon was running things. Retail space in most malls is very expensive and the fascist types that run these malls have very little understanding of charity or what this team means to the community. It makes it very tough for the team to pay full bore retail rents, staff the shop, increase inventories and pay all other overhead. Report

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll certainly take them all under advisement. Report
July 17, 201411 yr comment_67094 They had temp stores at St Vital a few times.... I don't think they have that many fans to really afford a mall location. A kiosk is do-able... I would think partnering up with one of the big stores may be a smarter idea. Report
July 17, 201411 yr comment_67100 Pretty much what I thought when they started playing good. 1500 - 2000 more tickets each week and if they are still playing good a sell out August 7 Report

July 17, 201411 yr comment_67204 I saw somewhere the updated sales was 29,100? Come on guys! Where's the person that counts the open seats on Ticketmaster? Report
July 17, 201411 yr comment_67211 I said it before. Winnipeggers are fairweather fans. Put the game on a Friday or Saturday, and the rural fans will attend. Report
July 17, 201411 yr comment_67251 Why is everyone getting so down about the attendance??? Even on 1290 yesterday I heard a few times the hosts of different shows talking about how they built the stadium too big because now they'll never sell out. Last year's team was HORRIBLE. And as bad as the team was, their off-the-field PR took an even bigger hit. I'd say the public perception of the team was even worse than in the Mike Kelly aftermath (partially beacuse the Kelly fiasco was so recently and things started adding up). So we're exactly 3 wins into the 5th rebuild in 10 years now and already back up to 30,000 fans? I'd say that's pretty darn impressive. Report
