    Realizing those days are gone the in game “stuff” seems a little forced and artificial to me.
    I'm not usually sentimental, but I have to admit that it was great to hear Fred Locking's voice when the Argos paid tribute to the 1983 Grey Cup championship team a few years ago.
    Introducing Condredge Holloway as "The Artful Dodger" sure took me back.

    Joe B has posed an interesting question re attracting those who used to attend games but no longer do. He also made a couple of intriguing suggestions, so I'll add my thoughts:
    .As RJ correctly stated--when one walks into BMO for an Argo game, the fan should feel like an Argo home--permanent signage etc
    .Why not contact previous season holders and offer them real incentives to comedown to a game---a)come down to a game and receive tickets to a second game free b)a chance to win a luxury suite for friends and family I'm sure others could come up with even better suggestions

    Look forward to suggestions from others.
