Saturday, thousands of fans took in all the activity downtown, including a chance to meet with some Bomber greats.
Milt Stegall, Matt Dunigan and Doug Brown were on-hand to sign autographs and take pictures with excited fans.
“I think it’s fantastic to see the passion and involvement of the fans,” Brown said.
“The game is really broken down to so many levels here and there’s something for everyone — that’s the coolest thing.”
