“Football games will come and go — we know that — but the most important thing will always be the people we share them with. Right here, right now.”
Don’t worry, that overly emotional quote isn’t meant to be a sappy line that gets you all teary-eyed after just one sentence of this post! It’s paraphrased from Hollywood icon Vin Diesel and the cinematic masterpiece “Furious 7”. And since its sentiment has been borrowed countless times for memes and YouTube videos, it does help prove something very important as it relates to this weekend’s matchup with the B.C. Lions.
Family should be about sharing experiences and coming together to share in a common bond … and there’s also room for it to be a light-hearted and happy subject! So, with the self-imposed character limit that remains in this piece, we’re going to give you some fun-loving reasons to attend our Family Day Game presented by Save-On-Foods, this Sunday, August 20th.
While kickoff is slated for just after 5:00pm, the festive atmosphere and family-friendly frenzy of activities begins well in advance, with Coors Light Party in the Park getting underway three-hours prior at 2:00pm! Be there as we welcome face painters, and a handful of your kid’s favourite characters (unfortunately, Dominic Toretto will not be in attendance)—but there will be games and inflatables, which should get the adrenaline pumping early! On the off chance that it takes more than superheroes and beanbag games to get your going, we also have magician and illusionist Sitruc James on hand performing feats more unbelievable than those seen enacted by The Rock and Jason Statham!
There are plenty more reasons to get your crew together and race (safely) down to Mosaic Stadium nice and early—one great way to get there is with our brand new “Ultimate Family Pack” The Ultimate Family Pack includes 4 adult and 4 youth game day tickets, special food vouchers, an exclusive on-field experience plus the convenience of parking to make your game day the best one yet, whether you Tokyo Drift your way here in a souped-up Mustang Mach E, or a spacious Dodge Grand Caravan. These packs are perfect for taking the family to two games this season or bringing your “found family” along for some football & fun!
“You can have any brew you want, as long as it’s Pil.” Another unforgettable catchphrase, this time from the spark that started the fire, 2001’s “The Fast and the Furious”. Well, it rings true at Mosaic Stadium too—especially when in reference to the CFL’s most famous “backyard”: Pil Country! With tickets priced below $40 (taxes in!), it’ll leave you with enough cash to think about that lift kit you want for your F-150 Lightning! We’d say get your friends together – but if “Fast Franchise” has taught us anything, it’s that you don’t have friends … you have family – bring ‘em all out this weekend for a night of LIVE football action for about what it costs to see an overblown “good guys save the world” piece inside a stuffy theatre.
And one more thing: since we know all the best car “crew” family movies have an iconic BBQ scene or two, we’ve got our friends at Save-On Foods to present the game and give away $100,000 in gift cards to the first 10,000 fans through the gates. They are also offering up $1000 gift cards to a different lucky fan each time the Riders find the end zone.
So, burn a little rubber down to the ticket office—or settle in with some popcorn and your smartphone and grab your tickets now. Shopping for seats on Riderville.com will have you securing your spot faster than you can drive a quarter mile!
