    I really like the enthusiasm about the pending playoff game in here. But don't forget this is coming from diehard fans. I have not heard anything from the organization other than the minimum I would expect. IE sell tickets to STH and current corporate partners and make tickets available to the general public. I want to be open minded about this. Can someone tell me how that gets us to a sellout? Or better still how it gets us past 12000? The Argos have not hosted a playoff game since 2013 and they have not had one in BMO. It must be me but I expect more from executives that get paid a lot of money and who promised much more two years ago. If the organization is going to rely on existing ticket holders to sell this game for them than I hope ownership will make the necessary changes should only 12000 show up once again. I know for some this is not a popular opinion so this is the last I will comment on it.
    GO ARGOS!!!

    I personally anticipate somewhere between 15-20k for the playoff game. Though far from a hopeful sellout, the atmosphere will be excellent, and I'm looking forward to the game.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    It would be nice to see a packed house for an Eastern final, but sadly I think your estimate is correct.

    Probably accurate for the Semi. With the extra time, I would say over 20 for the Eastern Final. They win last week and I'm convinced their one win away from the Grey Cup. Opportunity possibly lost.

    I believe they will win their last 2 games and host the Eastern Final.

    I hope you are right. They are better than both those teams right now with Winnipeg's having a few more injuries recently. East Final would be fantastic at home!
    CFL alive and well all others can go to Hell!
