    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...
