TFC doesn't make money. Forbes projected the MLS team lost US$12M in 2016 with player salaries increasing since then...while the media sets its hair on fire if the 144-yr-old Argos supposedly loses...
I guess, the cost of tickets to an event shouldn't be less than it cost to park your car? I had proposed some Argo ticket pricing on this forum back in 2015 (with some posters claiming they were too...
After the CFL went exclusively with TSN it was reported that CBC/Global wanted to submit a combined bid for a higher amount than TSN paid, but weren't allowed to bid. The CFL wanted their games on...
If the CFL wants to hold onto its fanbase they should schedule more games on Sunday afternoon, providing an alternative for football fans who don't follow the NFL. One CFL game on Sunday afternoon...
Justin looks pretty darn good, at least against Div. 2 competition. Maybe a savy GM will draft both Herdman twins, like the trade Brian Burke engineered to draft Henrik and Daniel Sedin for the...
One of the biggest numbers concerning Jordan is 5'10.75" (as per the NFL scouts at his Pro Day). I'd say CFL teams should definately keep him on their draft radar or perhaps his twin brother who...
That's a good idea, the west side is fairly packed with vivacious fans which looks good on TV. With the majority of Argo fans watching home games...at home, seeing the lively atmosphere on the west...
It was reported CFL ratings are up 10% so far this season. The CFL is a tremendously exciting television event, that's why so many Canadians watch on TV...preferable to even watching the Argos live...

If you want an attendance prediction with no baloney, talk to the hotdog cart dude...
I don't think the cost of tickets is the defining factor in the lack of Argo fan support. I could see selling a "family" package with food, drinks and merchandize with discounted tickets, but only in...
I guess the point is attendance is not really a factor anymore. 20,000 at BMO will look like pretty packed, the atmosphere should be fantastic!(at Skydome, not so much). A 26,500 sellout would even...
"Search every vehicle for contraband"...do they do this at tailgates in Buffalo too and wouldn't this contravene our constiltutional rights (presumption of innocence)? Sorry, wrong country, I...
Teams normally budget $100 per seat to rent and construct temporary grandstands at Grey Cups. If they can amortize the expenses over two events, then the cost per seat might be reduced to $65...with...
There are 25,000 seats on the sidelines at BMO. To reach 40,000, a temporary 15,000-seat grandstand would have to be erected in one end-zone...which would be bigger than either sideline grandstand. A...
That seems about right, af87. After looking at the Argo Virtual venue it seems about 40% sold, not including several sections which were unavailable, perhaps for Club seating, etc. (which were...
Yep, the Argos can forget about Collaros. That ship has sailed. If the Argos offered him $500k, the Ticats would pay him $550k. They couldn't afford to let him go, especially to a division rival,...
it has to do with the blue paint. Right now they have white paint (for grid lines) that can be washed off and become unnoticeable during TFC games. They probably won't be able to wash the logo off...
Not sure if these are the lowest, but the Lions have end-zone seats this season for $25, which includes taxes and facility fee...so Argo fans could be getting a real bargain at BMO. Hopefully the...
I frankly don't believe the Argos will have much trouble selling tickets at BMO this year. A ticket push last year would mainly have benefited the previous owners. At least MLSE was true to their...
Rogers Field?
How true. Too bad the Argos and CFL couldn't convert Rogers into an ally rather than a hated adversary. If Rogers invested as much capital in helping build Canadian football rather than trying to...
I believe Leiweke said he wanted the Argos to play the day after a TFC game, to give the grass the maximum amount of time before the next TFC game. He also proposed a hybrid natural grass playing...
For several decades there was an Parliamentary Order which required both national networks (CBC, CTV) to televise the Grey Cup game live. There were some areas of Canada which received the CTV signal...
Ironically Bell/Rogers have their markets protected from American competition while the CFL is fair game to be squeezed out of existence. With upwards of 50% of our major cities being foreign born,...
