- Forced out of Vancouver's BC Place by the FIFA World Cup, the Lions host the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday at Kelowna's Apple Bowl, with both winless teams seeking their first victory.
- The Apple Bowl has been expanded to accommodate over 18,000 fans, up from its regular capacity of 2,314, as the Okanagan city prepares for significant excitement.

- Alumni Jay Christensen, who coached in Kelowna for a decade, anticipates a buzzing environment for the players before the Lions host the unbeaten Edmonton Elks at the Apple Bowl next weekend.
