VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Canadian Football League fans of all ages packed the streets of Downtown Vancouver for the Grey Cup Parade. People attended the celebration from all over the country from places like Calgary and Saskatchewan. One person said they were from Phoenix, Arizona.

It seemed as though more Hamilton Tiger-Cats fans were out showing their support than Calgary Stampeders fans, with many of them saying they were surprised the team got so far this season considering the rocky start, but have no doubt they will pull out a win.

The game starts at 4 p.m.(MNT) Sunday.
