One of the hottest tickets in Calgary this fall is to see the 113th Grey Cup at the McMahon Stadium, and there’s still time for you to snap yours up.
Canada’s biggest football game will be held on Sunday, Nov. 15, with kickoff set for 5 p.m.
Grey Cup
The CFL playoffs begin with the Division semifinal on Oct. 31. And while the two teams facing off in the 113th Grey Cup are still to be determined, there’s plenty for lifelong CFL followers, newcomers to the sport, families, and people looking for something fun to do in Calgary to get excited about.
Make sure to arrive at McMahon Stadium early for all of the live entertainment set to welcome the crowds.
James Barker Band will close out the pre-game festivities with the SiriusXM Grey Cup Kickoff Show, while Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor will perform a special pre-game set.
For Blue Rodeo, the appearance will be a return to familiar territory. The band previously performed at the 2009 Grey Cup in Calgary.
Canadian music icon Sarah McLachlan will perform “O Canada” before kickoff.
