**Hey Homie** , you forgot a league! To answer my own poll, over 50 regular season games, the majority home games for the Riders, but also in Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton and BC. Probably more than 10 play-off games, at Regina, Winnipeg and Edmonton. And, 10 Grey Cup games: Regina, Calgary, Montreal, Toronto, Edmonton, Ottawa and Vancouver. ---

I’m somewhere around 40 - 45 I think. Pretty sure I’m under 50. ---

I don’t know for sure but I would guess close to 50 games. It has been a few years tho. ---

None. But I do know the head coach of one of the teams. ---

I can’t respond to this poll or **Northern Piper** will rescind my Saskatchewan residency. 😛 ---

> [@Gorsnak](#): > > I can’t respond to this poll or **Northern Piper** will rescind my Saskatchewan residency. 😛 It’s one thing to have never actually fine to a Riders game in real/life. But if you’ve not gone to a Riders game, but have gone to an Esks game, or a Stamps game … ---

Somehow I’m thinking that Esks at Bombers is going to qualify for that little list you seem to have. ---

Which is just fine, of course, as I categorically deny having attended such a game. It was just a hypothetical example. ---

Inasmuch as I’ve never set foot in Canada: none. If I were in Canada, had the time & money, had a chaperone, and the game meant something, I’d go. ---

Two - a Stamps game in Calgary and a Riders game in Regina. I didn’t enjoy either - I’m not a football fan. ---

Probably between ten and twenty. Most of those were in Toronto, but I also attended games in Calgary and Edmonton. ---
