Calgary Stampeders vs BC Lions
McMahon Stadium
Friday, June 12
7:30  p.m. kickoff
Radio: News Talk 770
TV: TSN2, ESPN3

The Stampeders host the BC Lions in their first pre-season game of the 2015 season. Stamps fans will get their first glimpse of rookie hopefuls and the change to welcome back last year’s stars including 2014 Grey Cup MVP Bo Levi Mitchell and three-time CFL rushing champion Jon Cornish.

National Anthem: Justine Tyrell

Halftime: Firefit Race – Don’t miss what we have lined up for halftime. Calgary Firefighters compete on the field.

Dodge Fan Zone Family Day Pre-Game Party

The Dodge Fan Zone will be open at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. The Fan Zone is located across from the Ticket Office and Stamps Store on the east side of McMahon. The Dodge Fan Zone features YYC food trucks, partner games and giveaways and plenty of seating.

Royal Canadian Mint Commemorative Coin

The Mint recently unveiled a new 25-cent commemorative circulation coin celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Canadian flag and this Friday Stamps fans will be among the very first in Canada to have the opportunity to get the new coin. Out of a total mintage of 12.5 million coins, 6.25 million will be coloured, and an equal number will be non-coloured.

Visit the Mint booth in the Dodge Fan Zone prior to kickoff and in the concourse throughout the game to swap an old coin for the new one and get your free collector card to show your Canadian pride!

The new, painted version of the 25-cent coin, will be used for the official coin toss to start off the game.

It’s in you to give

The Stampeders are pleased to partner with Canadian Blood Services to encourage fans to give blood and save lives this summer. Watch for Canadian Blood Services at Friday’s game to find out where to donate, ask questions and book an appointment to donate.

50/50

Don’t forget to buy your 50/50 tickets at the game! Look for the sellers in the bright yellow aprons throughout McMahon Stadium from the time gates open until the end of halftime.  

Wardrobe check

The Stamps will be sporting a unique look for tonight’s game.

CFL teams traditionally wear the same colour jersey for both of their pre-season games and this season the Stamps will be wearing their white road jersey.

However, veteran equipment guru George Hopkins is mixing things up a bit as he’s accessorizing the white tops with the home red helmet and the now seldom-used red pants. Black socks complete the ensemble.
