CALGARY (660 NEWS) — While many Calgarians woefully look ahead to spring, football fans are looking even further ahead to November when the city hosts the 107th Grey Cup.

On Thursday in the Boyce Theatre at Stampede Park, the logos for the game and preceding festival were revealed, along with some special attractions to keep everyone entertained before the big game.

Starting with the logos, they both prominently feature Calgary’s skyline and the Three Sisters mountain range, while the festival logo also includes the slogan “Experience the Energy.”

On to the activities, it will be easy to soak everything in, as the more than 40 events are all happening at Stampede Park, beginning on Nov. 20.

“Everything gets started with the Tim Horton’s kickoff party on Wednesday night,” said Grey Cup Festival Executive Director Geordie Macleod. “This event is exactly what it sounds like: a nice big party to kick off Canada’s biggest party. It also marks the Grey Cup’s official arrival on the festival site. Every single night of the festival — including Wednesday — will feature an end of night fireworks display.”

There will be a 140,000 square foot outdoor street festival starting on Thursday, including a number of activities and attractions, such as the Stratosphere Projection Dome — a 65-foot tall inflatable screen where 360-degree projections will be displayed.

Not everything is outdoors. In order to prepare for the possibility of harsh November weather, the Saddledome will be the location of both the Grey Cup Gala and the CFL Awards.

“This event is particularly enjoyable because most years you get to see some Calgary Stampeders at the Shaw CFL Awards,” said Macleod.

Then, to make sure this festival has a distinct Calgary feel to it, there will be something never done before at a Grey Cup Festival.

“On Saturday, we’ve decided that since we’re hosting our party at the home of the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, that it would also be appropriate to host the first-ever Grey Cup Rodeo, which we are obviously very excited about,” Macleod revealed.

That indoor rodeo will be at the Corral and will be capped off with a significant concert.

“That is going to be so much fun,” said Mayor Naheed Nenshi. “We sometimes do these indoor rodeos, other than during Stampede time, in the Corral or the Nutrien Centre, and it is a hoot. It is a hoot to have an indoor rodeo in a smaller venue, and I think people will have a lot of fun.”

No matter what team you are a fan of, this festival is open to all, with team parties at the park. This includes The Spirit of Edmonton, Riderville, and in honour of a team that does not exist yet — the Atlantic Schooner Kitchen Party.

It all culminates with the big game at McMahon Stadium on November 24th, with many local fans hopeful the Calgary Stampeders will make a fourth straight trip to the big game and maybe win it in consecutive years for the first time in team history.

This game will also be especially important for Randy Zerk and his son Cameron, who have a long relationship with the Grey Cup. With this year’s championship, Randy will have been to 37 Grey Cups, while Cameron will be tagging along for his third.

“Started going to the Grey Cup in 1984 with my friends,” said Randy. “Done the games every year. Almost missed ’92, but got on a charter for the day flight out to Toronto when we won the Cup that year, and just haven’t stopped since.”

Cameron has a ways to go to catch up to his dad’s record but is already hooked.

“Ottawa was the best, because it was my first one and it’s the capital city, and I got to go to Parliament Hill and everything,” said the 12-year-old.

Randy was also the first to buy a Grey Cup ticket this year through his season tickets purchase and was honoured with a special gift bag and a football signed by Stampeders Head Coach Dave Dickenson and GM John Hufnagel.
