Huge shout out to all the Edmonton Stingers fans and partners who attended and contributed to our first ever Sell Out in team history.

#yegbasketball is alive and well!

...and were just getting started!

Haven't been able to make it out but I'm glad things seem to be going well. I wonder how can their profile be further increased around town?

I never got basketball until I had this experience. I cannot wait to take in another game there.

That's a shot from a Stingers game?? It's beautiful to see such a turnout, and even some TV cameras! Are they streaming or broadcasting the games?

Doesn't look like the Stingers

Point being that being so close to the players (be it there or Stingers or wherever) really allowed me to feel the game and see the personalities and how they play a factor in the game. I never loved watching ball until this point and now do.

Glad to hear that you now enjoy the sport. Basketball is probably one of the most intense and fun games out there. I'd put it on par with hockey, especially in the NBA.

I guess there's a reason the front row of a B-ball game is the top of the heap when it comes to A-list celebrity endorsements of your event... I love the game because its fast-paced and with little stoppage. Baseball and Football are two American past-times they can keep along with the piss-water beer they HAVE to serve to make both of those activities even remotely exciting...

Awesome initiative!

We got something big in the works Edmonton!

As part of our #FreshHoops program we are working to replace the mesh at EVERY SINGLE public court in Edmonton

It’s a lot. We counted.

Not exactly Stingers related but Canada beat Venezuela in FIBA qualifying last night at the Flair Airlines Hangar (aka Expo Center Hall D aka The Hive) and in the process officially nailed down a spot in the 2023 FIBA World Cup. Decent crowd (3/4 full) and a number of improvements to the space since I was last there (2019 Car show).

Nice shot! and pretty cool the Stingers had a sold out crowd.

This Stingers fan will be getting a year’s worth of beer, on the house after draining a long shot half court free throw Saturday night.

Looks like yesterdays game against Calgary was also sold out. Very cool they are getting great support and have really activated the Expo arena.
