Lower Bowl all the way around. What is that? 17,000 - 20,000 tickets sold? That's impressive. With zero marketing, business plan, etc...That is basically organic, natural demand to come watch the battle of Southern Ontario based solely on fandom and history.
Current MLSE management and Rogers owners hopefully can look at that and say to themselves it is not a stretch to keep this thing going - IF THAT IS WHAT WE CHOOSE TO DO.

I see there are $3 hotdogs and $7 beers being promoted! Those are pretty reasonable deals and great for a live sporting event.

There was some marketing. A flash sale back in August for cheaper tickets to both the previous home game and tonight's. It obviously was a success.

Ugh, our D is so bad on second and long.

18-14 at half time and the Argos have missed one field goal.
So far the Hamilton's offensive line has held up against the defensive line for the Argos. If you give Mitchel enough time he will complete passes.
Hopefully the Argos can keep it going in the second half.

Hamilton Oline is so good at guiding our rushers around Mitchell. They're not stopping our guys, we're getting penetration, but their Oline does just enough to redirect the dlineman around the QB.

Absolute garbage performance by the Argos defense tonight.

RD should've ran the ball in the end to kill more of the clock. Ham had too much time in the end. But.........the D blew it.

You can't win games making that many mistakes.
When the Argos didn't score a TD on their last possession and left 56 seconds on the clock, I knew they were in trouble. I had zero faith tonight that their defence could make the necessary stop.
I don't know how you lose 3 times in 3 games to Hamilton but this has certainly cost the Argos a shot at first and possibly a home playoff game. This defence has been so inconsistent this season.

Disappointing loss that can just be added to the long list of Argo disappointing losses (but is outweighed somewhat with the Grey Cup wins).
It seems to me that the bigger the size of the crowd at the game, the greater the chances they will blow the game.
