Why do those fan bases attend games while the Argo fan base chooses to watch from home?
True. But somehow Toronto seems to use Argo weekend games around Marathons and othe road closures. The explanation for the Leafs/Raptors attendance is pure corporate. How else could some afford $350 per ticket over 62 games. A lot are rotated over large corporate clients. TFC is the most comparable. Repeat fans, braving the worst traffic conditions Toronto now has to offer. I suspect Go is the preferable mode of transportation for their millennial fan base. The CFL older fanbase probably prefer the automobile mode of transportation and find that route more frustration.
