    TSN To Move Cameras To The East Side To Shoot West?

    Bill Manning mentions about 3/4 of the way through this interview that he's spoken to TSN about moving the cameras to the East side to shoot the usually full West stands:

    I like it. Only thing is, it could get challenging for the PBP and colour guys, as their monitors will be showing the reverse angle of what they are seeing live.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    I think it is a good idea as the better optics would help the team. I'm wondering if it would hurt advertisers though as the east side has those digital advertisements on the ground that the camera picks up.

    I'm glad they're looking into it. The optics are much worse than the current reality. It's a better plan and papering or slashing prices on that side.

    I do see the point of the digital adds on the opposite sidelines, which is why both players benches are on the same side (like Hamilton and Ottawa). On field digital adds won't matter though.

    Hmm. There are probably technical challenges pointing the cameras towards the sun in a late afternoon game. TSN might discover why nobody wants to sit over there.

    a few more wins by the argos would very easily solve any pesky 'camera' and 'attendance' issues
    worry about wins
    as al davis said; "just win baby!"

    ZERO wins at home is a great way to get lower attendance

    Argos have a 1-2 record at home so far this season. They defeated the Esks three weeks ago.

    Yeah, all it takes is a few wins and all of our problems will be solved. Amazing no one has thought of this in the past three decades.

    well argos are trying to see if getting losses helps w/ attendance but my spidey sense tells me losses are not going to help increase attendance
    [yes i am being facetious]

    Bring back the tailgate, win some games, win the Grey Cup: recipe for the Argonauts resurgence.

    It's all worked before no ?

    The tailgate did for us. Only had two last year where it was just our regular crew. Every other one had at least 2 extra people coming to game that wouldn’t ordinarily come. And quite frankly last game’s tailgate was best part of day. Hopefully it continues because it’s looking like it will be best part of season!

    It's just a trick, really, but if the appearance of people in the stands helps sell the atmosphere and therefore more tickets - and casual tv viewers seeing people in seats can't hurt - then go for it. It can't hurt.

    watched Riders last night but before that it was TFC on TSN, so i caught a few minutes of that.

    what I noticed is TFC on TSN was loud. The Riders game on TSN was quite. I have to say that has to be bullshit! NFL was caught embellishing crowd noise and it makes a difference on TV. Why suppress the CFL?

    Also why do we have to have MLS advertising on the TSN/CFL web site. They DON'T do it the other way around. I don't want to see this

    I don't think TSN needs to boost the sound at a TFC game. 12,000 at an Argo game there is loud, so a full house with the TFC Supporters sections drums, chanting and singing...I'm sure it's plenty loud!
