PREVIEW: Riders expect loud crowd at Banjo Bowl
If there are any fans who can rival the Rider Nation in volume, it might just be Bombers fans at the Banjo Bowl.
The back-to-back Saskatchewan versus Winnipeg match up has become legendary to the teams’ fans, but also to the players and coaches.
“It’s always fun to come (to Winnipeg), they love football. It’s very similar to what we have in Saskatchewan,” head coach Chris Jones said on Friday.
“It’s a great place to play,” Darian Durant said of Investors Group Field. “Their fans, they get rowdy and now that they have a couple wins under their belt their fans have definitely jumped on the bandwagon. So it’s going to be an exciting place to play this weekend.”
