Published on March 22, 2011 under Canadian Football League (CFL) News Release
Vancouver, B.C. - (March 22, 2011) -Patrick Roberge Productions (PRP), producers of the Robson Square Celebrations during the 2010 Olympics and the 2010 Paralympic Games Opening & Closing Ceremonies, have been named Entertainment Producer for the Canadian Football League's (CFL) 99th and 100th Grey Cup games.
"We are excited to once again be working with the CFL," said PRP's President and Creative Director, Patrick Roberge. "As a proud Canadian company, it is an honour to be part of the 99th and 100th Grey Cup celebrations."
Fresh from producing the Opening and Closing Ceremonies for the 2011 Canada Games in Halifax, PRP will now work with the CFL to produce the 99th Grey Cup at the newly renovated BC Place Stadium in Vancouver this year and begin the countdown to the 100th Grey Cup in Toronto in 2012.
"This year's Grey Cup, in what will really be a new BC Place, will be a great event for our fans, and Patrick's team and expertise will add to the excitement," said Mark Cohon, Commissioner of the Canadian Football League. "And the one hundredth Grey Cup in 2012 will be a showcase for our game, our country, and the historic bond between them, and I know PRP will capture the pride we'll all be feeling in a very special way."
"The 100th Grey Cup will be an historic moment in Canadian Sport history," said Roberge. "As we countdown to this event over the next two years, we look forward to producing Grey Cup game entertainment that will honour the CFL's storied history and ignite public celebration across the nation."
The 99th Grey Cup will be played on Sunday, November 27th, 2011 at BC Place Stadium.
The return to BC Place will be especially memorable for PRP. Prior to the closure of BC Place to install its new roof, PRP produced one of the last events in the stadium - the 2010 Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony.
The 100th Grey Cup will be played on Sunday, November 25, 2012 at Rogers Centre in Toronto.
