Re: Luxury Box Rentals

$250 a person plus food though. I would do it once though just to say I sat in a private box, that was not going to be lowered 6 feet into the ground.

Re: Luxury Box Rentals

Maybe the forum should book this for a game. If we can get 16 people paying 250 each.

Well, it would appear that one person who had a private suite did not renew for the 2008 season!

Re: Luxury Box Rentals

Let me rephrase this.

Obviously, the Eskimos have a luxury box on their hands because, over the past two years, they have done everything humanly possible to disuade whoever purchased the box from ever doing that again.

And now, the Eskimo organization if so desparate and hungry for money that they're flogging the box to everyday working stiffs like you and me for $4.000.00 per game - except for the Saskatchewan and Calgary games when they will try to soak us an extra $500 per game to make it $4,500 per game.

How pathetic. It just goes to show you where the priorities of this football club are - an extra $500 per game? Give me a freakin' break! Oh, but I forgot - your $4,000 or $4,500 gets you complimentary copies of the program. How big of RL.

more about money than the actual product on the field....

Swivel Hips. First of all, great rant.

However, I don't think that is the case!


Like the Oilers, the Esks have a number of luxury boxes that they likely / usually sell to corporate sponsors (mega price tag keeps it out of the reach of usual joe schmoes).

I believe the Esks have more than one luxury suite -- you only have to look no further than under the covered sections on the East and West sides for e.g. and the little rooms with the fenced seating areas.

So to me, this year, one of the companies that rents said luxury suite walked away from it...and the Esks have been unable to sell it to someone else. Considering the money in this town nowadays -- that is VERY telling.

Re: Luxury Box Rentals

They have another page listing season rentals for 10 / 16 seat suites for the season

Can't say I've every really looked into it in the past, so whether this hasn't been publicized in the past, I don't know.

Re: Luxury Box Rentals

There have been luxury boxes open for a few years...this is just the first year that they're selling it on a game by game basis.

I think we're both saying the same thing.

It reveals what trouble the Eskimos are in. The corporate market doesn't want to entertain people in these boxes due to the product on the field being crappy. End of story.

I realize all of the above. In fact, I've been in one of them several times, as one of my friends has purchased one the last number of years.

I'll have to phone him and ask if it was him that cancelled.
