Thanks! I was looking for the attendance and could not find it!
So if the argos average 14K in tickets scanned but there are and additional 2-3K no show ticket sales (let's say) then the argos fan support could be stronger than what people think and they are probably not losing as much money as many would have thought. Would you guys agree with this?
That 8,000 guesstimate doesn't sound right to me. I was thinking at least 12,000. People stand around the end and there is always people coming and going out in the concourse area. Can't just go by one picture. The only thing we know for sure, it wasn't a 18,000 sell out.
All this confusion could be avoided if management just published both scanned tickets (bums in seats) and actual number of tickets sold.
Cameron Dukes + Dan Adeboboye + Kevin Mital + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force
I agree that it's getting tiresome. I was in a little Twitter war the other day about Argonauts attendance. The fellow harped on how the team isn't viable and should fold, only due to attendance. I kept asking why he cares so much? I told him the team was stable, regardless, and let MLSE worry about it. Somehow, our low crowds still make for a good atmosphere and a fun day at BMO. Let us have our fun, quit complaining people and hopefully MLSE can get 20k there soon enough and everything will be fine.
MLSE will pay Kawhi Leonard 4 times more money than the entire Argos' roster in a season, assuming the Argos are at the cap. Any money MLSE loses on the Argos is like one of us dropping a nickel under the car seat after going through the Tim's drive thru.
Ironically enough, the two teams I have the most fun seeing in the city are the Argos and Toronto Rock, and both play to around half capacity
I had some thoughts about going / not going to the games after the playoffs got taken off the table. I weighed the money option, as in, i paid for these tickets might as well go. But that arguement didn't sway me. What did was, at the end of the day, I get to go watch a football game! Even though the team struggled this year, there were still awesome plays, and fun to be had. Kiss cams, blooper reals, those little 2 minute player bios are all way better than watching crappy commercials. It's a way better experience being there with other fans and cheering and stomping your feet. I'd look mental doing that at home, and my wife would kill me!
That being said, the Go transit situation this season sucked balls!

No matter the situation standings wise, I always have a great time at games. For the most part, they were only out of 1 home game this year, and that was the Calgary game. Every other game was within reach in the final quarter (although I have no idea how that was the case against the Bombers).
It's us vs the rest of the country
