They've already sold over 50,000 tickets for the Grey Cup on their way to 70,000!
They want to beat the 65,255 for the 2001 game and the 68,318 for 1977. There was apparently an Eastern Final that year that drew 69,000.
Can they pack in 5000 more seats?
BRING ON THE NOISE! I'm bringing my NOISE! banner from Vancouver so how about someone there paint a NOISE banner also...

Great. At the Big Owe, that means if you line up to use the can at halftime, you won't get back to your seat until the fourth quarter.

Was in a male strip joint with the then ex-wife somewhere in Montreal. I'll tell you something, I could never qualify to be hired as a male stripper, those guys got it I must say. Her friends were going crazy at the likes of these guys, she wasn't. Made sense later though, we got divorced because she wanted to be on the other team. Life is good now though! :rockin:
The biggest attendance ever at an Alouette game, was at the Olympic stadium in 1977.

how about the Lions and Riders?
Any word on how many tickets have been sold now? Last I saw was 50,000 but that was quite awhile ago.

They say 15,000 seats left.
Not sure if that means 50,000 sold and aiming for 65,000 or 55,000 sold and aiming for 70,000.
This G.C. game should be sold out by now.
Here in Vancouver they sold out BC Place (59,687) a good two months before Grey Cup 2005.
And Montreal is a bigger market...

I dont believe that is the case...
All teams hold back some tickets until it has been decided who will be playing
Lots of games left to play tho!
