SO - Ottawa - a CFL franchise that floundered for years with dumb & poor ownership and lousy teams, that saw weak attendance at times and folding twice - can rebound to sell-out crowds and fantastic local support/interest - with a sharp new (and local) ownership group and revamped stadium. BUT the Toronto Argonauts - historic football club - who once had something like 40 thousand season ticket holders, and who play in a demographic of around 5 to 8 times larger than Ottawa - are condemned forever to a bottom dwelling sports niche product in the big Toronnawannabe land city?

Hmm; interesting - thinking & attitude.
