Why has Argonauts Home Game Attendance declined so much in 1 year? (2013-2014)

[paulwoods13]

So last night on a Tuesday night against the worst draw in the CFL we had our biggest home crowd of the season so far.

Do the Argonauts draw better during the week instead of the weekend?

It's a good question. Certainly a surprisingly large crowd, possibly caused by some heavily discounted ticket deals.

I was a nice crowd. Can't help but wonder about the discounts. The majority of the crowd was sitting on the Argos side. I am on the visitor side and there were plenty of empty seats. Perhaps a strategic move, seeing as how the TV cameras are on the visitor side, making the tv appearance of a big crowd.

I think there is also a natural inclination to sit behind your team's bench versus the away team's bench. There were still plenty of empty seats that's for sure, but it was certainly more full than it was the previous couple of games.
