    But it would only work for the western road trips. Two of the road games this year are in Hamilton, therefore only one trip to Ottawa and one to Montreal this year and both by train.

    Other ideas like adding a hot buffet to the club seats? really? do you think that would put bums in the seats?
    We need some real ideas!!
    I'm sure they have the MLSE marketing department working on ideas. It boils down to attracting the young millenials, the TFC type crowd

    Beat the bushes at the grassroots. Get a big, aggressive and enthusiastic sales team to scour the city and work on GROUP SALES. Sell the experience, the players, the team. Strive for continuity with a roster. Boys and Girls Club, Knights of Columbus, YM/YWCA, Make a Wish, Legions. Get someone on the fringes like in KW, Newmarket, Keswick, Oshawa....working class & corporate.

    The deals of today will be the regular customers of tomorrow if the experience/ and the team is good enough!

    This. We need to "get to" ordinary people and groups. We are actually only about 5K away from having over 20K per game at the stadium, which would be pretty awesome. With committed sales people, I am sure we could get there, and hope we do.

    MLSE marketing team? Where we're they last year? Do they need to market Leafs - no. Do they need to market Raptors? - no since Leaf STH are required to buy Raptors tickets. TFC ? Not sure what they do there but it works to full out the stadium. I think it's a great idea to promote travel with the team. Very innovative and exciting and inclusive. They need to get the corporations back to buy seats and become sponsors.
    GO ARGOS!!!

    All input welcomed, no need for the negativity.
