I love the marketing potential of Chad Kelly.
It’s unfair that it’s based on his name, but there are a lot of Bills fans in the GTA and making that connection could provide more visibility than any...

I disagree. I think a “big bad Argos” would help the league. In the west and Hamilton, it’ll only ramp up the hate. If we were able to spend big, have a good team that was seen as having an...
Once took golf lessons from Dave Mann.
But my vote goes to Ernie Carnegie
I watch most of the games on tv and attend 1 a year, Toronto has a huge issue when it comes to people saying you can only be a fan of one team. And yes, TFC fans are guilty of that too. All fanbases...
The CFL has a whole is in trouble. Even Regina has scores of empty seats.
This market simply will not buy into a minor league team. The NFL is a far bigger beast than it was 40 years ago when the...
CFL ownership is stable now, but that can all change quickly. The issue is noone seems to be making an effort. Was at the game Saturday on the east stand and it appeared many people were there on...
The high school idea is kinda cool.
Mlse doesnt want to own the Argos. It was a favor to TSN and political pressure because literally noone else was going to step up.
Thing is theyve tried all the...
I have a friend in Milton. Follows cfl, son plays football, the type of fan mlse should be marketing towards. Well they go to 1 or 2 ticat games a year. Say the drive is easier and they can tailgate....
Thats fair. But then you have to go full community/minor league experience. I dont want to be "that tfc guy", but soccer fans that follow TFC know it isnt EPL or other european leagues. Maybe its TSN...
The league as a whole has attendance issues, even Sask.
MLSE needs to take control of the stadium operations.
Then instead of 1 stand have stadium wide cheap menus.
Make everything 5 bucks. 5...
Obv Ricky was a bust. But if he didn't break his arm, he'd have sold some tickets. People were talking about the Argos. Canadian players don't sell tickets, and the US players aren't high profile....
Issue is mlse took on the argos as a political favor. The Argos need more of a community owner, run it like a minir league team, cheap tix food parking, promotions, etc. The only hope is to bring out...
We have to end this TFC thing. And i say that as a TFC SSH. The teams have 2 different primary sets of supporters. There is no competition between the two clubs, unless we're talking about MLSE...
This is one of the many reasons the league struggles. It has become very stale.
Gambling wise (its legal now so i guess we can mention it), the game was textbook CFL. First half under. High scoring 2nd half. At one point, in game WPG was +8.5! You could've bet the house. Grey...
TSN could improve their overall coverage. I dont need to see the same episode of sportscentre 10 times a day.
Could be worse. The CBC coverage of the Vanier Cup was ugly. TSN does a great job with...
Soccer is a good example. Look how the lower European domestic leagues operate as a guide. CFL keeps kinda looking to NFL, when say the Scottish Premier league may be better in terms of market size. ...
Fans. How much more money will MLSE lose on this team? And there's noone left to take over in Toronto.
Sadly I think the days of the CFL landing a player that will sell tickets in this market are...
I think regular season is scheduled fine. But all of the sudden in the playoffs they switch to Sundays. Friday nights are great, but playoffs a saturday afternoon double header would be perfect. ...
Had this game been on a Saturday i couldve got at least 5 friends out. CFL can not compete with the NFL, switch to Saturdays.....
As for regular season, expect low crowds again next year. Issue is...
TFC played in front of friends and family tonight. I think MLSE assumed there would be some huge demand for fans to return, and really missed the market.
Part of it is the media/govt has everyone so...
Even if MLSE ran the Argos like TFC you may see an improvement in crowd size.
Honestly, bring back the 2 tshirts and 2 tickets for 20 dollars shoppers drug mart package, legalize american style...
The Eastern final also had a lot of giveaways. I was there in a free seat.
I agree they need some marketable players. The last player to truly generate a buzz was Rickey Williams. I wrote a long...
The XFL was a bad idea, but the fallout mentioned in the Star today should be concerning. If MLSE cant make the argos work, noone can.
As it stands, the NFL is simply impossible to compete with. So...
Almost every home game is a Friday night. Interesting approach. Wonder how that would work when full stadiums are allowed.
