    Tickets are selling much better for Saturday's game.

    I was guessing 14,500 when looking at the crowd tonight. I'll say 18,700 for Saturday

    Figure is incorrect in the subject line. Should be 14,225.....forgot to add the Squirrel...lol

    I believe the League is going to have to paper the Grey Cup game. So why not get more Argo fans to the game. The first 10,000 fans to purchase ticket's for Saturday's game can purchase a GC ticket for $50.00. Maybe $25.00 for the upper east side.

    They're playing the Riders so question is...... are Rider fans Argo fans for 8/9 games or is there an actual spike in attendance?

    Actually didn't factor in Rider fans attendance in Toronto, I say 16,500 optimistically.

    tonight was my 1st game of the season, nice to finally take in a game. looked pretty good for 15 thou. a few things, i thought i read here that the west side sells better as it didnt seem that way today. The stadium is pretty loud too. saw 1 tfc guy walking around like a fish out of water. don't worry buddy, nobody is going to steal the stadium.

    Don't know, but I'll be there cheering them on as usual. Tough to take, but I'd still rather watch a bad Argos team than no Argos team.

    Seems to be a lot of Rider fans that show up to games in Toronto, Hamilton and Ottawa.
    Too bad the Argos couldn't host the Ticats and the Riders more often.

    It's all a testament to how eager people are to move out of Saskatchewan :-)

    I've noticed a slight decline in the Rider away crowd in the past few years relating to their on-field struggles, however, with the Riders showing some promise late in the season there may be some incentive for them to show up.

    The Argos game is going up against the Jays playoff game, I'm guessing under 12,000 in the stands, possibly less.

    I think they report tickets purchased and not attendance. I don't think we had the reported 14,000 in the stands last week against the Stamps.

    IMO BJ fans are not Argo fans. Argo fans can also be BJ fans. Rider fans can also be BJ fans. The Argo and Rider fans will still choose last game of year over 1 game of a 7 game series. Attendance 15000.
    GO ARGOS!!!

    Michael Copeland said in a recent interview that they report actual attendance.

    Speaking of Michael Copeland he has been very quiet as far as know about the latest, shall we say, turn of events. Does he hire and fire the GM on his own or does he consult with the owners? Its not like he doesn't know anything about Football having spent all those years in the CFL front office. Was it his decision to extend JB and SM the three years, or was he encouraged by the Owners? Do you think anyone at their level ever asked JB for an explanation of why he signed all the free agents and then started dumping them one after another? Did they question JB and SM's sanity after the big trade? Did the budget JB thought he had at the start of the year get lowered after the projected attendance didn't pan out?
    All you insiders feel free to answer. I'm not a very cool cat, but I'm a curious one.

    Last thing Chris Rudge did was extend both SM and Barkers contracts.

    I think budget isn't a concern with 2016 Grey Cup money flowing in.

    I didn't know it was Rudge, that's interesting. Don't know if the GC is going to be that big of a bonanza this year. These owners are part of the three headed monster that over priced the Bills in Toronto.
