    I think the above are both key and relevent statements. I don't think that this game in and of itself would stand out as the "greatest" in team history, given the other examples quoted above. However, it could be important in finally turning the corner to re-establishing the Argos in the Toronto sports scene. I know many thought our Grey Cup victory in 2012 in front of 53,000 fans would have done that, but the big difference is the change in ownership. That is why I agree 100% with Argofans.com. Under David Braley, no real followup was done to build any momentum. I think this time things will be different. The Argos are the first team to give Larry Tannenbaum a championship. Seeing him raise the Grey Cup was great, and it clearly meant a lot to him. I truly hope we look back in future years and see that this was perhaps the turning point.

    I can see future folks looking at the GC as the turning point if you are correct ... but I would look at the 25K actual Toronto fans that they got at the EF as the real turning point in that case.

    Sadly i don't expect any big turnaround as I am looking forward to a few seasons of "impatient attendance whining" on this site until the ship is truly turned.
