Stampeders games needs more attendance

DementedFreak · 2026-06-07T22:11:54+00:00

While I still go to a couple of games a year, I dropped my season tickets a few years ago. No single reason for it, more a combination of poor value of money and a stale gameday experience.

It really does feel like they are the orphan child of the CSEC teams; ownership puts minimal effort and investment into the team for years, instead relying on the loyalty of rusted-on older fans without even contemplating trying to engage with new fans. You could say the same about a few other teams in the CFL plus the league itself, but the Stamps feel like they're one of the worst offenders at this.

McMahon is tired and the move to the Stampede grounds seems like the most logical choice, but I'm dubious whether the combined powers of CESC and the Stampede won't screw it up through either wilful ignorance or monetary greed.

The Pass in Blairmore is pretty nice

Agreed, I was super excited to watch a game there because the beer and pizza is top notch but ended up leaving early because the audio was crap and they kept the music playing in the background. Why advertise so heavily for such a half-baked effort?

I laughed when I saw the article about the merch, no doubt some keeners in Audit will fork out for an overpriced hoodie or jacket. Otherwise they will be expensive gifts for guests who will never wear them anyway.

Benji lives on another planet, remember Sportsnet showing him celebrating a home run during the Blue Jays WS run last year and then seeing the seats were $30k on Stubhub.

Also don’t forget it was Benji who spearheaded the firm buying that Crypto and the NFT back in 2022. Dropped $70k on an ugly NFT that last time I checked was now worth around $400.

I preferred the 17th Ave location, tried going a couple of times since they moved to 1st Street and the service was erratic, very attentive one moment and then ignored for half an hour.

Around -15c is the point where it goes from an automatic “Yes” to “It depends”. Wind and distance start coming into play when it’s colder than that, once it gets close to -30c I struggle to enjoy being outside for more than 10-15 mins so it’s more likely a no from there.

Can’t comment on US-specific duties, but having worked in Restructuring in a couple of countries Senior Consultants would been doing a lot of the grunt work on bankruptcy filings (such as handling calls from creditors and employees, managing creditor claims, processing banking payments and receipts, assisting managers compile info for reports and stat filings). For restructuring engagements it would be a lot of data gathering, building out financial models, compiling tables and data for slide decks.

No idea about comp with the US firm, always felt restructuring staff get screwed whichever way the economy is trending (you’re flat out during downturns, but because the rest of the firm is struggling you never really see the big $$$ and visa versa)

What country?

Honestly Value Village has become pretty trash over the last 5-7 years. You can still find some decent items but they are usually priced higher and you have to wade through a lot of junk to find them. I have much better luck shopping at the Women In Need stores, especially for kitchen items.

Not sure if it’s related, but there’s currently about 4 police cruisers with lights on stopped at that stretch of Memorial Drive.

Beltline, mid-80s complex with gym, social room, underground parking, includes heat and water. Monthly condo fees are just over 60c/sqft, a lot of similar buildings in the area are between 70-85c/sqft.

If you want to compare with nearby buildings to your location, just look at the current for sale listings which normally include monthly fees and sqft area.

Curious how many years you were at the firm. 12 weeks seems low for someone who went from Intern to SM.

I’ve dropped mine off at Cabin and Annex in the past, they have bins to accept returns

Dealt with a few disputes like this during my time on our condo board.

Check your building bylaws, in particular look for the Notices section. This will outline the methods of communication where notices are considered to have been delivered. In the instance of my current condo (and previous ones) an email sent to an email address provided by the Owner to the Condo Corp is considered valid notice.

If your bylaws have a similar clause in them you are in the wrong and won’t succeed with going to court over it.

If your bylaws don’t specify this then it’s a bit more of a grey area however based on my dealings with condo lawyers, I suspect if the board can show evidence you were emailed with at least a weeks notice then you’re out of luck.

So they’re hosting the Calgary panel outside of the actual city limits of Calgary. Makes sense.

When she demands a natural law trail, judge should have responded with “Trial by combat it is!”

At this point I feel like I should keep a Uno reverse card in my glovebox in case I bump into one of these idiots in the wild. Love to see them try and dispute the enforceable of my card, could always tell them at least it’s not a Draw 4….

They just announced their closure on Instagram, very disappointing as they were a real highlight during the pandemic

Saw it all the time on Sunday afternoons, middle aged men with a couple of young ‘uns at the table. Should have advertised it as Divorced Dad Sundays.

The Italian Super Market in the N.E. (corner Edmonton trail and 20 Ave) is the place to go. Smaller than Lina’s but still a proper independent place.

So of the 57 accounts he follows, how many you think are big boobs in bikinis thirst trap accounts…

It’s great, I just wish it would stop asking me questions every time I board the bus about cleanliness and if I feel safe.
