Wednesday marked the first full day of Grey Cup activities in the city.
The day began with a Blue Bombers breakfast at the MET.
The Grey Cup was on hand for super-fans to take a photo with.
Two of those fans are Roni and Lance Bourque who drove all night to make it in time for the breakfast.
They’re in town to cheer on their home team, the Edmonton Eskimos.
"Grey Cup, football, it is part of us, it makes us," said Roni Bourque.
Her husband said Grey Cup games mark a special memory for the couple, “in the 100th grey cup in Toronto, I proposed to her at halftime, so after we had been together after 15 or 16 years,” said Lance Bourque.
The Calgary Grey Cup committee was also in town to host a ho-down at Saint Gerard school.
The organization travels to the host city each year to provide funds to a school in need.
“We're lucky, blessed and thankful that we were the lucky school, and today's going to be an awesome day, because we've had such a great time thus far, said Principal, Jean Gilbert.
Kids outside the school still had the chance for football fun.
Sounds of the stadium and field could be heard at the Macdon Fan Experience and Family Zone at the University of Winnipeg, where grey cup training was on the agenda.
And the Grey Cup Fun Police were travelling to each event in the city to make sure everyone was having fun.
The pair has travelled to every Grey Cup game for the last 12 years.
“We enforce the fun, we have various violations,” said Dave Hanni and Corey Pusey, “If there's a party foul, if you spill your drink, if you're not having fun if you're wearing an NFL something or a Blue Jays shirt, you get a ticket.”
Winnipeg Police will also be on standby at all Grey Cup events.
The service said it plans to station traffic officers strategically throughout the city to look for drunk drivers.
