You do raise a good point.

He doesn't raise a good point when it comes to beer selection. Rogers Centre has a bit of variety at the bar behind section 121 when it comes to cans. Outside of that it is pretty much Bud and Bud light draft everywhere else. BMO Field has a lot more variety when it comes to draft and cans. Plus they have bigger glasses at BMO Field, as a result the draft beer prices are cheaper by quantity than they are at Rogers Centre. What do I know though, I've only attended just over 100 games at BMO Field and well over 100 at Rogers Centre over the past 10 years.

I usually only get cans (usually from the beer kiosk in Section 235, by the Bacardi Bar which apparently has more variety On Tap) and from my experiences the Rogers Centre has a better selection. At least I can get a can of Sleeman at the Rogers Centre, even if it is my least favorite type of Sleeman.

Attendance at Argo games has been trending downward since 2009 following two seasons where the team went 7-29. There was also a change in ownership. People point to price increases after the 2012 season as driving attendance downward even further, however it wasn't as if attendance was all that strong between 2010-2012. It was a bit better, but the average was around in the low 20,000's was it not?

It's down a few thousand from last season:

I know that it's only been 2 home games so far but the drop in attendance from 2013 is pretty alarming. Using the attendance figures from www.argonauts.ca you can see a drop of in the thousands. And this years schedule is much better than last years schedule. All of our games are on Friday, Saturday or Sunday except for one Tuesday game and one Thursday game which was the preseason game.

Also does anyone know if the Argonauts us 'Paid Attendance' or 'Actual Attendance' for their attendance figures? There were significantly less people there yesterday compared to the home opener against Saskatchewan but the attendance figures don't reflect that so I'm thinking that the Argonauts must use 'Paid Attendance' for their figures.

I went into the Bacardi Bar by Section 230 and they actually have a few more beers On Tap to choose from. They have Shock Top, Leffe and Rolling Rock plus a couple others and a Cider. You can also pay electronically.
