Default Will Stamps lift black-out vs. WIN?

Too cold to go out to McMahon tonite. I think CGY is allowed to lift blackouts twice pre season.

I've got my 4 layers of clothes ready. I've only ever seen the Bombers win once at McMahon; I am hereby predicting that the Bombers will show us number 2 tonight!
And yes, I am quite aware of the double entendre there. =)

Both is my guess, I would like it if they lifted the blackout but I don't see it happening, on the plus side if you have some big blankets I'm sure you could get tix for cheap lol

Just watch it on the HD Channel - it has never been blacked out the whole season, I will be there however with the absolute garbage concession stands.

More people might actually come to the games if the stadium wasnt such and armpit hole.

The Stamps won't lift the blackout to show the rest of Canada that there is 15,000 people in the crowd!

Uh, it'll be shown in the rest of Canada regardless of whether the blackout is lifted or not... the blackout is only for local TV audiences.

I can't see them lifting it. All that would do is cost them money.

Myk- who is your service provider? Because it has been blacked out this season on Bell on the HD channel. Fortuantely if the games are on CBC I'm still fine, but every TSN home game has been blacked out for me.

Tonight is a good night to lift the black-out (I think they have to lift one more game), because no one will be buying tickets anyway. Save the blackouts for games when the weather is better.

Went to a sports bar for lunch and TSN was on. When they showed the promos for tonight's game they did not have the tagline of "Local Blackouts In Effect" like they have been all week. Not sure if this means anything; I would think if they were going to lift the blackout then TSN would be advertizing it.

I have 4 words for you Calf:
Vegas, Superbowl, two chicks

That would qualify as the greatest in my books.

Anyways, I'm off to the game!

Go stamps, hopefully the cold weather wont play too much of a factor in limiting just how much of a asskicking they lay down tonight.
