Expansion has to happen from the ground up, not the top down. When another city is ready with a stadium and ownership, I’m sure the CFL will be there for them.
I have been a fan all my life and have watched as the game has improved in all areas and is incredibly fast. Yet the biggest complaint I hear is " kick the ball- kick the ball"- I know this is heresy but I think 4 downs would fill the seats, especially in Toronto which is an at risk franchaise.
The fact there are fewer complaints of sloppy play and only 3 games have had a winning margin over 8 points this early in the season is helping, but just good games is not enough. Drug policy, high hits, video review and a disciplinary system that is a joke need to be fixed before the league can relax and let the on field product reel them in alone.
How about going back to more Sunday games, Saturday to. I know I sure miss the old Sunday double headers. Someone should check back a ways and see how attendance was when they played more weekend games ?
110% agree I wish more Sunday games would be scheduled ....the hell with being afraid of going up against the NFL....u like the CFL you will watch it no matter what....
The listed # by numeris are not real indication how many people are watching the game. When I get the real #'s that are really used to access the volume of viewers I will post them.
But I agree. Sunday and Monday games like tonight are great. But what is great in one city is not great in another. Weather permitting, events, personal issues,etc
Well I think the numbers all around start improving late summer , especially the old double header Sunday games, vi don't think early summer is a good true indication, I always thought those games drew less because of our short summers.
