Here's the view from our seats at the 98th Annual Grey Cup Canadian Football League Championship Final, held this year in Edmonton. I never knew they made seats this remote. We could actually see the top of the main speaker suspended above the field. While the players looked like swarming ants and the half-time show pictured above was just a dot, we were so close to the Canadian Forces Snowbirds jet formation fly-over we nearly got clocked on the head by their landing gear.
Frigid the night was, and cheapjack our seats, but the game was entertaining and Edmonton's hospitality was warm and inviting. The parties during the week that led up to the game were great! We had a lot of fun attending this most Canadian of major sports events, but we also look forward to the 99th Grey Cup, which will take place in hometown Vancouver, in shirtsleeve conditions indoors.
Also, I'd like to extend a big welcome to anybody who picked up a JSVB card at the Cup and followed it here to my blog. Please look around, enjoy the pictures, and if there's anything here you'd like to see in print, I can make that happen for a modest price.
