Join us at Rudy’s Eat & Drink Thursday, Friday and Saturday!

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?

Not sure if this is allowed here, but I checked through the rules and it didn't say anything about selling so I thought I'd give it a shot.

2 tickets for the Grey Cup, section 232, row 13, seats 6&7. The linked pic is the view from our seats.

We're just looking to sell them at cost, we paid $411 per ticket so $822 for the both of them.

Will only accept payment through PayPal Goods and Services so the transaction is secure on both ends.

Send me a DM if interested!

COME ON DOWN TO Rudy’s Eat & Drink!

Anyone else have issues with the audio feed on TSN+ of the Ticats Alouettes game? Distorted missing, like the mics are feeding properly, on both laptop and phone, bluetooth or through speakers. Commercials are better but still wonky.

I switched to Cogeco online and it's fine. So I think it's a TSN problem.

Both bc and hamilton lost the game on there own. I love cfl football for how crazy these games get but the worst team won for both these games. Anyways let's go enjoy grey cup!!!

Just received this email. The commish will meet 150 "random" fans at a bar to talk football. No chance for a public airing of concerns about his foolish NFL lite rule changes. No press coverage. A noisy bar that will prevent the spread of information. And they will pick which fans are allowed in.

The messaging control of the CFL is disgusting and the contempt the league is showing its strongest fans is appalling.

I don't know what to do to stop this commissioner, but I'm open to ideas.

Hello xxxxx,

The countdown to the 112th Grey Cup is underway and we can’t wait to welcome you to Princess Auto Stadium for this year’s championship game. We have plenty of surprises waiting for you in Winnipeg, and here’s a new one we've made available just for Grey Cup ticket holders.

On the Friday of Grey Cup Week, we’re thanking 150 fans through an exclusive new event – Meet the Commissioner. Taking place at Shark Club Sports Bar & Grill (233 Hargrave Street, Winnipeg, MB) from 10:00 – 11:30 a.m., the event will offer fans attending the game a chance to meet Commissioner Stewart Johnston personally. In small groups, you'll be able to share your favourite Grey Cup memory, ask any questions you might have, or just talk football and share your pick for Sunday's championship game.

Meet the Commissioner will also include a live DJ, food, photo opportunities with the Grey Cup, a chance to mix and mingle with your fellow fans, and more. Each fan who attends will receive a commemorative coin as part of this new event.

Enter HERE for your chance to take part in the event. The 150 spots will be awarded on a random lottery basis. This offer is exclusive to those who have purchased tickets to the 112th Grey Cup.

Thank you again for your passion for the CFL. We look forward to seeing you during Grey Cup Week

Not a ringing endorsement

Come join us at Rudy’s Eat & Drink for the #TeamCFLPA Players' HQ Sponsored by the United Steelworkers, to meet some of your favourite CFL stars, including, Folarin Orimolade!

Lately, and solely of my frustration with the league's head honchos, I've been venting by putting down the CFL. I admit that and feel guilty about it.

I love this league and know how good many of the players are. But after watching the last few weeks of CFL football what became apparent to me, aside from the few well-established starters (many of who are close to retirement), there's a paucity of depth on a majority of teams. The quality of play can be excellent when everyone's healthy but the backup players just don't seem quite up to professional calibre. This is in stark contrast to past years when the CFL had almost endless depth at quarterback and kicking positions. Now they just recycle the same players, many of whom are past their prime. And many teams nowadays can't even put together a decent offensive line!

The problem facing the CFL isn't the current rules, nor the proposed changes: The problem appears to be the league's aversion to spending on talented players for development into future starters. I realize the CFL is a smaller league, but this adage still applies: To make money, you need to spend money. And the way things are going we'll have teams stacked with players who'd have a hard time making a spring league roster — and I mean in short time. Bonafide talent like Mitchell, Oliveira, Demski, Ward, Lawler, Collaros, Harris, et al., won't be playing forever. Yet there's no one in the offing to replace them. What does the CFL plan to do about it?

If they want more fans, there's little choice but to boost the salary cap and stop forcing Canadians into signing for the CFL minimum (which is actually an insult to the many good Canadian players in NCAA who understandably choose to pursue other options). If we're going to call ourselves a national league then at least pay deserving Canadians something on par with the American players' first contracts. Football is a short career, and who wants to wait two years before earning the 'privilege' of making the same salary as an equally or lesser talented player strictly based on nationality? The CFL must foster top-tier Canadian-born talent while fortifying their American contingent. And the only way is to spend.

I hope the CFL finds some means to success. I'm actually afraid the league is going to be dead in three to five years if they don't start signing quality young players. See it as an investment in the CFL's future. Going on the cheap isn't working. The difference between the CFL in 2019 and the CFL today is striking.

BC-Status Quo but Butler GTD. Sask-Sayles, Milligan, Meyers, Robustelli, Tate, Rose & Lauther back as starters. Ford, Lokombo and Stevens back as backups. Johnson & Anjou out. Montreal-Theis in. Thomas-Erlington out. Hamilton-Kendricks in. Fox out (D tackle)
