In return, fans will have the opportunity to receive a digital photo with the Grey Cup and enter to win a signed Jon Cornish jersey.

Select Stamps players will be on hand to meet fans, pose for photos and sign autographs. The pre-game experience features the Tailgate Food Truck and great partner attractions, including the popular Pepsi Taste Challenge.
