    Ottawa Redblacks may have something to do with it as well. I was a Renegades fan before the Argos, when they folded I went to the Argos. I'm sticking with the Argos BUT now I have 4 options to watch the Argos Play

    1. Rogers Center (2.5 hr drive)
    2. Hamilton (4 hr drive)
    3. Ottawa (1.5 hr drive)
    4. TV

    I plan on going to a game in Hamilton and Ottawa this year to see the new stadiums. The rest I will watch on TV. Last game the Rogers center we had some problems with the staff as well, which I had posted about on here. If the redblacks hadn't come back I would have likely bought a flex pack again but this year my dollars are going to the other teams stadiums, partly due to the new stadiums. We are a family of 5, so it only makes up 10-15 ticket sales (typically do 3 games a year) but I can't help but wonder how many others are in a similar boat? how many Renegades fans are now cheering for the Redblacks instead of the Argos?

    wow, 3 bucks?. Clearly the new owners in Ottawa give a shite about the fans and are looking to build a foundation of strong support. good on em

    Yeah Jeff Hunt seems to be doing things the right way. Here's an article on the Menu for TD Place Stadium:

    As for the playoff game, that was even worse. I think there were easily 17 -21,000 Ticat fans. It was practically their home game even though it was in Toronto.
    I was at all of the home games against Hamilton last season and I disagree with your estimates.
