Thanksgiving Classic Sold Out
October 10, 2008 - Canadian Football League (CFL)
Calgary Stampeders News Release
The Calgary Stampeders are pleased to announce that Monday's Thanksgiving Classic with the Saskatchewan Roughriders is sold out. A crowd of 35,650 will turn out to McMahon Stadium on Oct. 13 to watch the 9-5 Stamps face the 9-5 Riders in a key West Division showdown.
The Stampeders and Roughriders will battle Monday for the fourth and final time of the regular season. The Riders have the edge this season-defeating the Stamps twice in three contests-but a win on Monday would give the Stamps the season series by virtue of points scored.
The Stamps are currently tied with the Riders and the BC Lions for first place in the West Division and will play three of their final four regular-season games at McMahon Stadium. Heading into Monday, the Stamps have won four of their last five games while the Riders have won two of their last five.
Following the Thanksgiving Classic, the next Stampeders home game is Saturday, Oct. 18 against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. For tickets, contact Ticketmaster at 403.777.0000 or visit Ticketmaster.ca.
