Redblacks Home Opener Gonna Be Lit 🔥 + Teens Busted?!

Redblacks Home Game Hype 🏈

Okay, Ottawa fam, listen up! The Redblacks are playing their home opener this Friday night at TD Place against the Montreal Alouettes. Kick-off is at 7:30 p.m., so don't be late or you'll miss the whole thing.

Word on the street is they've already sold around 20,000 tickets, which is kinda bussin' compared to last year's average of 18,800. Let's get this W and show some love for our team!

They're throwing a whole pre-game party called "Chops 'n' Cheers" with live music, so you can get your hype on early. Plus, they got a $5 Fan First menu with cheap eats like hog dogs and nachos. No cap, that's a steal.

And for the main event? A CF-18 is gonna flyby! It's Canadian Armed Forces Appreciation Night, so show some respect.

Also, the 50/50 draw is guaranteed to be $100,000. So grab a ticket and maybe you'll be walking away with some serious bread.

If you're trying to save that bag, your Redblacks ticket gets you free rides on OC Transpo. And there's a park and shuttle from Canada Post and Carleton U, but no Ottawa City Hall shuttle this year, heads up. Bicycle parking is also there if you wanna bike it.

Can't make it to the game? It's gonna be broadcast on TSN and TSN 1200, so you can still catch the vibes from your couch.

Ottawa Teens in Trouble 🚨

Now for some less hype news... Two teens in Ottawa are in deep after getting caught with a firearm and drugs during a traffic stop on Monday near McArthur Avenue and Rue de L’Eglise.

The police were doing a search and they found a whole firearm. After the arrest they found a major stash of crack cocaine on one of them.

Both of them, aged 16 and 17, are facing a whole list of charges related to the firearm and the drugs. Because of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, their names are on the DL.
