Making Lemonade
Got to hand it to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers front office: They are trying over there.
With everything quiet on the David Asper Dome front these days (at least publicly) and the threat of an NHL team possibly maybe returning before the century is up and taking all the corporate dollars when it arrives, the staffers on Maroons Road are looking to squeeze out a few more bucks from their existing lot in stadium life.
Private suites at field level.
Enjoy the excitement of Blue Bomber football this season from field level in your corporate suite. Entertain your customers, clients and associates in your own 10 by 12 foot covered suite with a 15 by 10 private patio conveniently located outside in the south end zone.
The suites, which judging from the picture provided appear to be just glorified canvas tents dived up in 12 stalls (making them semi-private suites), hold up to 12 people and should provide a unique view of the action for many who have never seen a game at field level. Unfortunately, there are some drawbacks. There are no ‘in-tent’ televisions (they are in a common area concourse) The food service is also provided in the concourse. You do, however, get game stats, and as someone who likes to know what’s going on numbers-wise, and knows you can’t count on the concourse TVs, this is a bonus. People want to know how many times the Bomber QB bounced it off the turf. It feels like 12 times, but I might have missed a few while at the trough.
Table and chairs are also provided.
The Blue Bombers organization gets more pathetic every year. I’m so glad I’m not a fan! Those suites look mighty luxurious- only 12 avaiable, act fast!
And Wazny, you’re ackowledging the NHL might return to Winnipeg? Whoa- what?? What about all those blogs in previous years saying “It’ll never happen” and how everyone who wants a new NHL team in Winnipeg is an idiot?
Make up your mind!

That’s right, questioning the validity of rumours and the validity of what people are saying in response to those rumours is equal to calling those who believe it will happen idiots — which, of course, I never have done. Nice try, son.
Welcome back. Sorry about that whole premature relocation thing.
2011-12. I don’t know what that means.

Yeah Wazny!!!
Remember that time that you said you believed that the NHL was coming back, just that that current rumour was not going to happen? What do you call that “journalism”? Why don’t you just start what everyone else is interested in hearing about “speculation” and “conjecture”….sheesh, get with the times my friend.
oh…wait…my bandwagon’s just leaving, gotta run.
