I think too much context is missing when comparing attendance this year to any in recent history.

Both Argos and TFC report based on scanned so capacity restrictions and fully vaxxed only will impact these figures. Notice the last 2 games were the first 2 since that policy went into affect, plus many people ready to come back to large events. Mid week yesterday didn't help...it was actually a bigger crowd than I was expecting....granted I'm setting the bar low this year

TFC hasn't cleared 10K this season either.
