GreyCupFestivalConnect While attending a CFL game between the BC Lions and Calgary Stampeders at BC Place in Vancouver, BC, I took some time to chat with football fans about the upcoming 2009 Grey Cup Festival. CFL fans are a passionate bunch and as you’ll see in the videos below, they like to have a good time!!

The 2009 Grey Cup Festival just launched a new website called Grey Cup Festival Connect (http://greycupfestivalconnect.com). The website was based on the same concept as StampsConnect (the Calgary Stampeders social media aggregated website)(http://stampsconnect.com). By properly tagging their content, fans can upload their videos, photos and tweets and have them show up on the Grey Cup Festival Connect website.

The Grey Cup is Canada’s largest professional sporting event. A celebration of sport and culture, the Grey Cup is uniquely Canadian and has a storied history and deep traditions. The 2009 Grey Cup Festival, “Canada’s Game Calgary’s Party”, will be distinctly Canadian and showcase Calgary’s famous western hospitality.
