How could Ottawa have not been ready for that. Jones is all about going for it in 3rd and 1.

Hard to tell because of the roof in the camera angles they show, but they look full.

Riley gets drilled on the regular and just keeps on going. He's the anti-Buck Pierce.

The game is a sell out. I've been impressed with the officiating so far. Not too many flags and the ones thrown have been legit. Nice! Edmonton with the missed field goal!

That team really has taken on the personality of their coach haven't they? Outside of Reilly, just completely unlikeable.

100% full. I looked a couple days ago and there looked to be a couple hundred seats available in the lower corners, and now it looks like they all sold, or they gave them to those military members in attendance.
Either way, this looks to be a very successful grey cup, especially considering the two teams involved have very small, virtually non-existent travelling fan bases.
In fact besides Saskatchewan and Calgary, are there any other well travelled fan bases? I'm a little ignorant to the east but CFL doesn't seem like a big deal out there.

Ottawa has gotten to conservative here. You just know the Eskimos are going to hit a big one here and then its play from behind time for Burris and that's a recipe for disaster.

I've been to a few. Saskatchewan lead the pack in recent times when it comes to fan bases traveling. Calgary/Edmonton are well represented as well. Also some Argo/Ti-Cat fans (when the game is East, they are a lot more for obvious reasons). BC and Montreal don't appear to travel well at all. Montreal especially. I've only been to one Grey Cup since Ottawa came into the league, so I can't really comment on them.

One weird thing about Calgary at the Grey Cup, is that their fans travel well, but the team does next to nothing for events. They had a last minute event last year at some garbage Country bar in Vancouver far away from every other event. We went for 5 minutes and left and went back to the Atlantic Schooners party.

Single not so bad - EDM has to get FG now. If they do, OTT only needs another single to tie.

What an odd non challenge for the Esks, there. We're in this new age of CFL where fans are actually complaining because every play is reviewed to death and coaches challenge everything that's even close.
Then you have a pretty much clear drop in a 2 point game with 5 mins left in the grey cup and they pass? Seems odd.

Uh oh, that's pretty close and might give the game to Edmonton if it's overturned.
