Since 2026 is my official "not one hard earned penny" boycott year, I matters not what day and time. I have my couch booked already for the ENTIRE season.

Not saying it won't be tough, because I love to attend in person as much as I can swing it, but in all good conscience I just can't support the utter fan contempt this mgmt team has shown.

If they manage to make the playoffs (and its a home game) maybe I'll blow off the dust from my wallet and buy a ticket. MAYBE.

Can't really blame you.

I can accept the fan contempt simply because it's been going on since the Skydome days and I am used to it.

For me it's the rule changes. I had to do some serious drinking about whether I would renew my seasons, but my buddies still want to go to games next season so I renewed.

The "modernized" (the only metric that makes them modern is the fact they are more similar to the NFL) rules are going to bring in millions of new fans anyway, so it might be tough for you to get tickets.

What? Luke Tostitos Willson's softball "interview" with Stewart Johnston didn't convince you?

Honestly, I love two of the three changes taking effect next season - and can live with the change to the rouge although it's not my preference - but I don't think anyone really knows what the effect of the 2027 field dimension changes will be.

Obviously, we don't know which free agents will move around the league this offseason, which new players Toronto and others will recruit, and what injuries will occur, and we know that in this league it's possible to go quickly from bottom to top. But our first 12 games include these ones on the road:

Mtl
Ott
Ssk
Cal
Wpg
Ham
BC
Edm
Ssk
Ham (Labour Day)

We'd need to win four of those, plus home games against Cal and Ham, to be 6-6. Ott and Edm should be beatable, based on this year's rosters, but every other team was in the playoffs, three of those games are against the Grey Cup combatants and two of them are in Hamilton, which is always a challenge to win in. IMO 6-6 is an absolute best-case scenario, and I would not bet on that happening at this point.
