Agree with a lot but can't agree with no drum lines and no music post-2005. If music has to be played, when it was recorded matters less than whether it is fun to listen to. Songs we've all heard a million times are a bad idea, but so is only modern music, IMO.

The reason 50/50 draws do so well out west is, in part, the fact that the govts allow electronic sales and the tally is constantly recorded and available for all to see. The sales methods used in Ont -- cash only, no electronic -- are antiquated. And BTW, how is it that every 50/50 jackpot at an Argo game ends up being a nice round number like $4,500? Surely they are not actually distributing precisely 50% of the proceeds.

That total does sound low Paul, Ticat games generate in the $14k-$16k range for the 50/50 draw.

With the length of TV timeouts these days, along with some of the extended periods taken to do video reviews, I can't say that I mind some (emphasis on "some") of the extra-curricular stuff that is presented at games.

I still can't forget from several years back the game of a contestant being blindfolded and having the crowd "guide" that person to the Argonauts banner to win a prize.
One woman got caught up in the excitement and simply kept running the wrong way for an eternity until she ran into one of the sandwich boards lining the sidelines and crashed.
Freakin' hilarious!!

A truly great moment, that was! Fortunately captured for posterity here - https://youtu.be/BMT5odb90-o
