    Skydome had its pluses. A wonder of the world when it opened, with wide concourses, nice downtown location, and most importantly for many people, the weather was never a factor. And Skydome occasionally saw big crowds, including a whopping 40,116 at one regular season game in October 2007. Whether they were papering the house or not, it got larger crowds than BMO does now and it could be pretty darn loud.

    I do like BMO better, overall, and attendance is trending up. But we've been pretty lucky with the weather there.
    Faster + Louder = Better

    I remember that game against the Riders. I don't think there were that many people actually in the building that night, but it was a big crowd, with no doubt a papered house. It's a shame C&S didn't have their own money behind the team. They definitely were a fan friendly "ownership" group.

    That particular crowd was actually for a first place battle with Winnipeg near the end of the season, AV. The Argos won a hard fought game by a score of 16-8.

    I confused that game with a 40+ crowd against Saskatchewan in the Harry Ornest era.

    That was a great game in 1990. Pinball ran wild over the Riders that night.
