As I said I would I am reporting back on the shenanigans that I witnessed.
Unfortunately I have virtually nothing to report. I sat in section V with my middle aged friend, who wore a Stamps jersey. I wore a borrowed Riders shirt from my buddy.
I saw 2 fights in the end section. 1 resulted in a Riders fan being ejected and the second fight involved a Stamps fan getting thrown out.
The only crappy part of the night was the complete classless piece of garbage in Section V, row 15, seat 9. I hope you aren't a CP member buddy and I really hope you aren't one of the people in this thread trashing Rider fans because you are an embarrassment. All game this tough guy yelled stuff like "Riders are ing pussies", swore loudly at the refs about every call - or in this guys case non-calls - and fingered various Rider fans and players.
My friend, who is a STH, told me this guy is like this all the time and he used to be worse because he used to show up totally hammered, I'd say he was fairly drunk on this "good behaved" occassion. It certainly wasn't enough to ruin my evening but if all Stamps fans had this POS's attitude I can see why fights start. This guy was looking to rile up some Rider fans, and trust me there were plenty in my section, but luckily no one seemed to really give this classy example of sports fans the time of day.
All in all pretty fun. I like the CFL but hardly ever attend games, maybe 2 or 3 a year. Would have been nice if the Riders would have showed up for the second half and made a game of it. I wanted a fun game and while the experience was fun - those Rider fans are like vermin, they're everywhere - the game itself was kind of a dud.
