    This video would beg to differ. At the 1:00 mark, those stands look about 40 percent full.

    Tickets sold vs. Attendance. Regardless the Argonauts would have gotten higher attendance at BMO Field for that Summer Afternoon Weekend game.

    With games like this though their is zero risks assumed by the Toronto Argonauts, They would have sold the rights to the game to the promoter ( This case the Atlantic Schooners) I am sure the Argos made a profit or they would have not done it. I am assuming they are making a bit of money off the undertaking which is why they are participating again this year.

    The very point I have been making from the beginning. We need to take out our personal feelings of losing a home game here.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    I can't imagine it was a sellout regarding tickets sold unless it was some corporation just buying up the tickets at severely discounted prices just so the league could "say" they had a sellout.
