    Definitely an interesting read but I still don't agree with the Myth that it's all old white guys at Argonauts games. I see plenty of kids and families at every game.

    I am seeing that trend as well. Still believe TFC has hit it's peak and will level off in the very near future.

    As long as MLSE is buying designated players, the support will not not die off any time soon. MLS as a whole is a growth league and Toronto is one of the top 5 clubs.

    Not all of these high priced imports pay off. I have no interest in MLS what so ever, but MLSE tried to buy championships several times over the years but failed. Once TFC starts becoming ordinary, or worse, the fans will stay away until they compete again.

    Absolutely, that's one of the things that I have noticed the last few years and it has been on the increase.

    Im an Argo season ticket holder and go to almost every game. While it is true that there are young families and even visible minorities there i have to say the biggest demographic there are white males 50-64 (i even sadly see many by themselves). At TFC home games the fans are younger and a healthy cross section from every ethnic group.

    Yes, I have seen that, as well. Hey, I've been that guy a couple of times! Again, touching on the theme of this thread, it is not always easy to get someone to come down to the game if my buddy or I can't make it. We sit up in the $20 seats, so don't even charge anyone to come with us, just to use the ticket. But the casual fans among us don't even think of the Argos...but anyway...as a step to changing this state of affairs, let's do are utmost to fill BMO on the 19th. If every seat is filled, no one will be sitting alone, will they? Pull Together! Let's go Argos!
