    IGF was built about 3,000 seats too big and in the wrong location IMO. Considering how competitive the team was this season, it's disappointing not seeing 28,000+ for each game, but aside from the Riders and Redblacks, there seems to be a growing problem with attendance around the league the last few years.

    And it had been years since they hosted a game, and never in Investors Field...strange.

    here's a scary thought: Chad Owens scoring the winning TD in the final minute...
    Or a more positive scenario: a Chad Owens fumble recovered by Toronto to seal the deal!

    The only time that I've enjoyed watching a football game from the endzone was when the Argonauts had the all you can eat pizza promotion with pizza pizza.

    It would definitely be nice for Owens ball protection issues to benefit us for a change.

    Agreed, AV. Semi-final games have been notoriously tough sells for years now in the CFL. I still recall only 12k showing up for the Ticats/Bombers in Winnipeg in 1988. The crowds for the two games this past weekend were both excellent for semi-final games.

    I did it in my early teen years at CNE because basically that was all I can afford. It funny, I have no issue sitting sideline endzone, but I just don't like directly in the endzone. So hard to see how many yards are made on any particular play, and it's frustrating to me.

    Yeah, but who really wanted to see Sean Salisbury against Todd Dillon?

    Yeah that's exactly why I don't like it either.

    I agree. I always get fooled by the fake hand off, or whatever, and end up watching the wrong guy for a second or two and miss the rest of the play! I would never make it as a middle linebacker!

    I guess semis don't sell because there is not enough time to really hype them if, like this year, the seeding isn't set until the last week of the season. Often, the games with 2nd versus 3rd are more exciting IMO, anything can happen...especially if the first place team is a clear favourite. Last year's Western semi with Winnipeg and BC was a great game, for example, while the BC/Calgary final was dull.

    I think this game will be a shootout that ends up in OT.

I've predicted that it'll be the Eskimos vs. Argonauts for the Grey Cup (which would be great for me as I bought my tickets long ago), but I wouldn't be willing to bet on it, as I always seem to jinx teams when I do lol.
    Hopefully the Argos D forgets about Owens & the Presidents (Carter, Roosevelt, & Grant) as well.

    I didn't forget about them, I just don't think much of your QB's. Argos have shut down Glenn in a big game before, and Bridge seems to only excel at sandlot style ball. Nullify both and the receivers become moot IMO.

    Looking forward to this one like I haven't looked forward to a game in quite some time. I spent most of the season in the states and didn't catch a single Argo game all year.

    I may well be the only guy in Saskatchewan wearing blue this Sunday. And (hopefully) the only one celebrating when it's over.

    I've had two separate dreams the last two nights--one where the Argos lost and one where the Argos won. The score the Argos lost by was 28-17 and the score that they won by was 4-3.
