bungey Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Just for the sake of scooping: The sponsor will be TELUS, I have no idea what the financials are, though I guess it's less than the CIBC deal (diamond level above). TELUS is offering their employees cheap tickets to WCQ games, albeit in the upper seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarnCherry Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Yeah, the full page WCQ advertisment on the back of the latest issue of WFP mentions that the game is presented by telus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarnCherry Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 It's a shame that they don't hang a huge Canadian flag off of the telus building on the night of the August 19th match that everyone can see at Swangard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarnCherry Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Typo! I have my ticket and well aware the match is on the 18th! The telus building is that large building behind the north end of the stadium that many people who see photos of the stadium mistake for actually being part of the stadium. A huge Canadian flag hanging on the side of the building would look awesome. Shame that thy won't think to hang one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Perhaps we should encourage them to hang such a flag. I agree it would look amazing on TV. (The building you're talking about is that white, curved one, correct?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
