I expected a really small crowd last night. Hopefully they can get about 10k or more for the BC game on Oct 30.

I still think that going forward, the Argos should look at playing Sunday afternoon home games up until Labour day yearly. TSN should have no problem with it as it won't cut into their NFL coverage before the NFL season starts.

Obviously this is hugely concerning. The Lions are a terrible draw traditionally, as is Edmonton, which is also on a frickin' Tuesday evening. I think we need to see how much impact COVID has on Leafs and Raptors attendance before drawing any firm conclusions, but on the evidence to date, the struggle to make this team viable just keeps getting harder.

TFC has been drawing crowds of only 5 to 7 thousand lately, as well. Granted, they are having a terrible season, but they usually have crowds of at least 20 thousand. Up until Covid, the situation, as I understood it, was that while the Argos struggled to draw crowds to BMO, they had good TV numbers whereas TFC had terrible TV numbers but packed the place. Right now, the Argos are outdrawing TFC at the gate and, I assume, on TV as well, even with these paltry numbers! MLSE has to be concerned. You could blame these low numbers on fans hesitancy due to Covid, but the Jays had no issues drawing people during their recent run.
