CFL Western Final - what's that you say?

So, today I'm off to the CFL Western Final between the BC Lions and the Edmonton Eskimos.  This is the first (CFL) Canadian Football League game I have been to in over 20 years.

For those of you, who aren't Canadians, the CFL is Canada's answer to the American NFL.  Canadian Football is similar to American Football with a few minor differences.

The Western Final will determine one of the finalists in the Grey Cup (the CFL equivalent of the Super Bowl), which is also going to be held in Vancouver next week (Nov 27th).

To be honest, I'm not really a CFL fan - being born and raised in England I am more of a soccer and rugby fan, but my daughter Jen is going to be participating in the half-time show both this week and next week at the Grey Cup itself.

As the Grey Cup has been sold out for a while, we decided to go today to cheer on the Lions, and our daugthter Jen.
