    No lineups because of low fan turnout?

    Yeah - just a little, small detail.

    The west side stands are usually pretty full and the lines seem to move reasonably well.

    Aside from the half-time line-ups, there is little problem to get a beer or some food at RedBlacks games; plenty of concession stands + roving beer sellers.

    We've only been to 1 game in Ottawa and that was not our experience. We were there for the stadium opener so I guess they've improved things. When we were there the lines were crawling and they ran out of some food.

    Somewhat typical when opening a new facility, we had a similar experience at THF.

    Just finished watching CFTO sports news. Now let's set the stage---!) a win in tomorrow's game gives Argos undisputed 1st place--2) the game is a special tribute to Flutie, one of the greatest players in CFL history ---3) the team is desperate for media coverage----4) CFTO is a Bell owned station.

    So what do we get on the sports news, on the station owned by one of the major owners of the Argos---golf/baseball/cycling/soccer/athletics--but nothing about the Argos or the CFL. Nothing against the other sports but if Bell owned CFTO, can't even make passing mention of tomorrow's game, then is there any doubt that the team is being ignored?

    Why isn't Argonaut management pushing Bell and in particular CFTO, to give better coverage of the team? Or has Copeland and company even noticed?
