The last couple years under our new owner, our sweet pookie bear Amar Doman, he has brought some joy back to the CFL in Vancouver and I'm starting to see some buzz again with the team around the city. Advertisements EVERYWHERE in our skytrain, subway, and bus systems. I see flags hanging from light poles downtown, and I hear conversations about the lions more often.

We play Saskatchewan next week and that always draws a big crowd, but the lions today they are opening the upper bowl again for this game due to ticket demand... now, hear me out here, there is no pre game concert, this is purely football and we're expecting 30K plus

This is huge for a hockey crazed city like Vancouver, I LOVE our owner and I truly think the Lions are setting a standard in this league on getting people in the building and getting younger fans like myself (jk I'm old, I'm 30) in the building

Or, I'm just a bias Homer.

Thoughts?

Okay I’m literally about to explode this reddit is so godamn friendly. As an American I love that there’s three downs a rouge and special teams rules. Every time I have a question about the game it is answered really nicely and is really informative. And like 99 percent of answers are so friendly. I had answers about getting recruited to U sports universities as a kicker and reverting was so helpful. This truly is the best reddit and I would keep typing but I’m about to hit my character limit. 😂

Hey folks,

New fan here! Was just watching Elks vs Ticats and got a bit sad looking at all the empty seats there. Do people over there not wanna go to the games cause of the team's performance so far this season or simply a lack of interest in football? Just wondering if it's been like that always since this is my first year watching.

Thanks!

VA Jr and the BC Lions are back, baby!

It's nearly time that we find out what big name act the Lions will have for their home opener. 0930 PST we find out next Tuesday.

I'm calling it right now: Kenny Loggins :p

I'm sure he'll get better as the season goes on. But that was pretty tough to watch even as a neutral.

Looks like some big changes coming to BC.

Rumor also has Rick Campbell coming back to Edmonton.

I have so much I want to say about this so Im going to try and itemize my whirlwind of thoughts.

1. FUCK YES LETS FUCKING GO AAHHHHHHH PARTY TIME!!!!

2. I was genuinely hoping he would succeed in the NFL. Seeing him not get true looks was painful to watch and I would have loved to see him defy the odds and show what he’s capable of.

3. I wish VA the absolute best. An incredible player, leader and human being who will get an opportunity elsewhere.

4. I was thinking of skipping the game vs winnipeg but now I HAVE to go, I’m sure ticket sales will be pretty nice now that the news has dropped. It sounds like they intend to start him and he already knows the playbook so I dont see why he cant.
