We are just hours away from the "Knight Archer Thunder Kick Off". The team is in its final preparations and excited to get the official season underway! We have an exciting Game Day planned read below for all the details.
This is the biggest game of our season with a crowd of over 1200 expected on a beautiful summer evening in Regina.
We are opening the doors at 5:45 to help avoid any line ups at the ticket window and gate. Ticket prices are attached. Please note that season tickets are only available until kick off of this game.
Once you are in the stadium we invite you to purchase a 2011 Thunder Program from one of our Custom Creations Thunderettes! Programs are $3.00 each and feature player pictures and profiles, team rosters, ads from our supportive sponsors and articles on Thunder Alumni that have made it to the CFL. Watch your programs for special markings that may indicate you have one of our many prizes!
On the second level near the canteen you will find Thunder Clothing for sale. These items will be available before each game and at half time. More items will be available at next week's game. Cheques or cash only please.

You can enjoy the game from the Beer Gardens until the end of the 3rd quarter. Throughout the game listen for the GREAT WESTERN TURNOVER!!!
Each time the Thunder causes a turnover beer goes on sale 2 for $6.00 for 3 minutes on the game clock. This promotion was a huge success last year and we are hoping for even more excitement this year.
