Over a million viewers.

Gorgeous. Looks big city night skyline when they actually feature it.

Those stadium shots should be posted on the stadium forum. Some nice looking shots there

UrbanClimate · #**904** Posted **Dec 4, 2021, 2:02 AM**

Beautiful shots. I love it!

I could see the drone from my seats in the upper SE corner. I wonder if it’s still piloted by Migs/whatever alias he is going by nowadays.

Stadium Looks Great. Too bad about all the empty seats. Definitely NOT something that should ever be used for promotion. Kind of an embarrassment actually. Riders gave it a good try yesterday...Bombers prevail.

Booooooring.

Any picture update on the Regina Police Headquarters renovation/expansion?

Agreed and the same goes with Winnipeg. It is a really sad state of affairs, when both Regina and Winnipeg have so many empty seats for playoff games. If these two cities can't sell out, the CFL is not long for this world.

I would be surprised if we still have a league in 5 years. We haven't heard much from the Atlantic Schooners in some time...are they still going to run next season?

Off topic at this point but I am concerned too, especially after all these new stadiums have been built. Winnipeg and Sask would probably live on as some part of a secondary American-based football league like Dwayne Johnson's XFL, but the pandemic sure let the cracks show in the CFL. The fact the league is tied to one of the two sports monopolies in Canada doesn't help for spurring innovation in a hyper-competitive global market for sports. The high costs associated with going to games in a gate-driven league doesn't help either. As for the Schooners, I'm fairly certain those plans are back on the shelf for now.

1. Games are way too expensive.
2. I don't want to watch football in person in late November/early December outdoors in Canada.
3. There's an on-going pandemic.
4. I can watch the game for free in my basement with better food and sight-lines.

No brainer, honestly.

5. Bad on-field product (almost unwatchable at times)

Disagree there, but each to their own.

It was pretty bad at times. Layoff and no pre-season and more talent stuck in the NFL system conspired for a bit of a change this season. I'm pretty sure that will remedy itself over time, but it certainly affected play a bit this year.

This. There is a lot of talent within the CFL. Too many people compare the CFL to the NFL and it's not a fair comparison. I watch a lot of NFL myself and there's a lot of teams that make terrible, bush-league mistkaes (like my Vikings), and the refs suck just as much. What is lacking up here is the marketing and quality of the presentation. The way they presented the West Final is how they need to present all games throughout the season, while taking advantage of technology and social media. But like I said, with TSN in charge of most of this and the way they operate for immediate profits, they are not going to invest the money up front that is needed to keep the league going for the foreseeable future.

I'll try and snag a photo or two this week for you.

Lots of work continuing on Lewvan & 4th. The gas station is coming along, the Tim's is framed and sheeted and the strip mall's exterior is complete. They were doing some digging in the lot further to the north but I wasn't able to see what they were doing. Footings maybe? The brown U of S nursing building still sitting there like the turd it is... but I think its time for this world is soon ending.

So clearly Osler St. will be permanently blocked. I wonder if they City would ever let a private developer do this?
