Earlier in the day, families and youth got to take part in the sports festival, with games like bubble soccer, road hockey and football. Tailgate partiers had the chance to chat with BC Lions and CFL alumni like Tony “TC” Collier and Cory Philpot as well as Lions cheerleaders.

Then the action picked up, with a big screen showing of the Saskatchewan Roughriders vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers game. The Blue Bombers won 30-26, and the Roughriders suffered an extra blow when starting quarterback Darian Durant went down with an injury early on in the contest. He’s been ruled out for the season, putting extra pressure on backup QB Kevin Glenn.
