    Great number. Let's build on that next year. But I am afraid that management/ownership won't like so many times in the past. I have a very different feeling about BC's 30,000+ because it does look like ownership is trying to build back up the attendance.

    Sadly yes even if they win grey cup not much will change as long as current owners are running things breaks my heart because I see what BC can do with a similar market but an owner who cares.

    Will we hear from either Larry Tanenbaum or Bill Manning this week?
    Cameron Dukes + Dan Adeboboye + Kevin Mital + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force

    I suspect with no TFC commitments, Manning might take the free trip to Regina.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    Surely the bean counters at MLSE will notice that drawing 21k with zero promotion wasn’t an insignificant achievement.

    And if any of them attended the game, they would have noticed it was one of the youngest and most diverse crowds ever to attend an Argo game. It definitely was not a bunch of old white people like it used to be. If they have any shred of vision they would see some real possibilities for the future.

    Let's hope some were in attendance or watching. This is the team they need to run it back with, and they have to give a crap about owning them and making the city take notice of. The game was a blast to be at withe 21,000. Imagine a full house. They weren't far off. With just a little imagination and want to, it should not be hard to sell 25 000 tickets 9 times a year. 10 times with playoff. That's 250,000 in a city and surrounding region of 4 million people.
    GO ARGOS!!!

    I love how Argo fans can be ravenous but still maintain a family-friendly atmosphere. A lot of young families were at the East Final yesterday and I never heard or observed any kind of behaviour that I would consider unsuitable for children. Just don't park at Lamport Stadium if you're bringing the family.

    I have never been to a Leafs or a Blue Jays game that I would proudly bring kinds to and I've been to quite a few. Some people seem to think spending thousands of dollars on tickets gives one a free pass to go on a drug-fueled rampage.
