It's game day in Ottawa and football fans of all stripes are getting in the Grey Cup spirit, whether they're at TD Place, at the local bar, or firmly planted in their couch in their Snuggie.

The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group said the Grey Cup is the biggest event at LansdownePark yet, with more than 36,000 people expected at the game 7,000 to 8,000 of them coming from out of town.

Here's how people in Ottawa are getting ready for the big game.
