Great crowds this weekend (earlier start to the season was a mistake)

Our best attended regular season games have been in June and August.

CFL attendance as a whole is way better from roughly the last week of August through the end of the regular season.

Again, Winnipeg, with an undefeated team and arguably the second-best fanbase in the league, couldn't break 26K on a Friday night in mid-July.

As AV pointed out, recent Argos attendance as a whole is actually better in the fall, even with crap teams in 2016 and 2018.

And the 2016 home opener has to be thrown out as that was the first game at BMO.

Honestly I don't even understand what you're trying to argure here. Even with this years earlier start the last Regular Season game this year is on November 2nd so there are still the same number of games in September and October as there always are.

I've never understood your argument. In fact, have you even made one? You just seem to want the season to start earlier, which it isn't going to.

And you still can't point to any league-wide numbers that show attendance from mid-June to mid-August is better than the rest of the year, because it doesn't exist.

You seem to be having a difficult time grasping that even though the season started earlier this year there are still the same amount of games in September and October (after Labour Day) as there always are. The Regular Season is still ending in November as it always has.
