On the way to, and once away from the stadium, clear sailing. Express TTC buses were available from Yorkdale and Royal York as an alternative. Game blackouts didn't offer an alternative.
Many of the games now are played during the week now and all games are televised.
Many of the children of the 1970s Argo fans now live in the GTA from Burlington, Barrie to Newcastle. The Monday to Friday traffic GTA gridlock puts off those that still prefer driving over commuting. If you work in the city, the fans or family you'd attend the games with, might not. Those that live and work well outside the city may look at the gridlock and say no way. Get home, eat and turn on the game on TV.
