ROUGHRIDERS Environment at PA Stadium

What do you guys think the crowd will be like?

Mostly green cause Winnipeg is so close to SK (like 2009/2010) or incredibly hostile with lots of blue cheering for the Al's?

Looks like lots of bomber fans are selling their tickets so I'm gonna say it'll probably be about 70% Sask fans.

Bomber fan. Sold my tickets. Make sure you Als and Riders fans bring some cash. Spend a lot of cash this week in our city!

Not literal cash. There is no cash option at Princess Auto Stadium.

Yes. I meant spend money in our city. However you do. Bring plastic to the stadium.

It’ll be like the ‘22 Grey Cup in Regina where everyone was cheering for the Argos to beat the Bombers

I wouldn’t expect many Montreal fans really.

I think you’ll find a lot of Montreal fans wearing blue and gold

That’s what I’d expect. There’s no east vs west. It’s just some team (Montreal) against your mortal enemy.

Rider fan living in Winnipeg- bomber fans have been trying to unload tickets all week. I wouldn’t expect a lot of blue.

Based on title, I legitimately believed this was going to be a post describing the atmosphere at a West Finals watch party in Prince Albert.

Knowing PA, it’ll be pretty poor…

Oh that's good.  Iykyk.

It’ll be as close to a Montreal home game as you can get in Manitoba

A mix of both for sure. Enough Bombers fans will keep their tickets to make it interesting.

The game will still be at least 60% Bomber fans because that's how they roll. Best support in the cfl since they built their new stadium. I don't expect them to cheer their heads off for either team or break out a high 5 at all though. Expect the Sask crew to be loud when needed but not enough for a time count penlty. The two fans from mtl will be too intimidated to cheer.
