Grey Cup Hoopla Begins!
Nov 14, 2003
There's no shortage of entertainment in Regina these days.

The city is alive with Grey Cup, fever as it prepares to host the C.F.L. championship on Sunday.

There is a giant beer tent set up in the heart of downtown, with a long lineup snaking down the block.

Hospitality suites are sprinkled throughout downtown, so fans can stop in and support their favourite team.

There are also cabarets every night, featuring bands like Great Big Sea, Trooper and Streetheart.

Hotels have been booked solid for months.

People are staying with friends, relatives and even complete strangers.

The annual Grey Cup parade, complete with 143 entries and four-thousand participants, is being held tomorrow morning.

Bryan Adams and Sam Roberts are slated to perform during half-time.

The Grey Cup is expected to pump more than 30 million dollars into the Regina economy. (ccg)

You're right Donovan this is huge for Regina. It is far and few between that the cities of Saskatchewan get to host an event, so when we get a chance we go hard. Have a good one !

Being from Calgary... I have to chose between the lesser of two evils... Edmonton for obvious reason (WE BEAT U ON LABOUR DAY... thanks to flukey special teams that may never happen again.. and then you punished us... we've gotta change our ownership) or Montreal.. stupid Eastern team.. lol theres my Western bias kicking in.

I think I'm gonna have to go with Edmonton ... just because at least then Alberta has the cup.

Go Eskimos... oh i feel sick saying that
