At least a few Edmonton Eskimos fans say they’re thinking about selling off their Grey Cup tickets because the home team won’t be playing.

“It’s disappointing they didn’t make the playoffs, let alone the Grey Cup,” said Darin Bachmier as he and his family made their way out of Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday following the Eskimos’ final game of the year.

The Esks wrapped up their season with a win against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, but it’s too little, too late to get them into the Nov. 25 final game. Most Edmonton fans approached by Postmedia after Saturday’s game said they’re planning to attend the Grey Cup, but a handful of people said watching other teams go head-to-head on the Esk’s home turf holds little allure.

“I’m not here to watch Calgary,” Bachmier said, adding that he will consider attending if Winnipeg makes it.

Bachmier said he’ll wait to see who is playing before making a final decision. Another fan, Reg Foster, said he’s also going to mull it over and maybe wait to see what the forecast is for the day before deciding.
