What a magical night this past Friday was. Our friends at TSN rewound the clock back to the biggest game in REDBLACKS history. The CFL Encore series has been a pretty cool look back at great games throughout CFL history, so we could not wait to see ours.
Even though everyone knew the outcome, the excitement was at all time high. Special shout out to our Forever RNation Season Seat Members hanging out with players from REDBLACKS past & present in the Zoom Watch Party. Big cheers go to all those who followed along on social media as well. An incredible trip down memory lane. Here are some highlights from our Grey Cup Watch Party presented by Budweiser:

This was my family after the first touchdown at the 2016 Grey Cup game. (I’m the one filming). Cut another wood cookie after every touchdown. Wanted to post earlier but got busy. @REDBLACKS @CFL pic.twitter.com/HzAp6eVFze

My favourite memory from the @REDBLACKS win in 2016 was that it was my first season as a member of #RNation and getting to watch the joy of it all float across my Twitter feed. It made it all the more special to be a fan!https://t.co/HcYN2zuu0m
