I was 15, and we drove up from Lethbridge on the last Friday of the games. We weren't planning to do more than walk around downtown and soak up the atmosphere, but we heard on the radio that the Canada/West Germany hockey game would be starting shortly after we expected to arrive. We managed to get to the 'Dome and snag some tickets to watch Canada smoke 'em 8-1.

I remember that I could see the torch on the tower as far south as Claresholm on the drive home.
