I think us drawing 50,000 the week before, tops in the CFL this year, made it a little hard to come back 6 or 7 days later with 40,000 and the weather was really dark grey, gloomy, and rainy. I don’t think anybody wanted to go anywhere. I didn’t even really feel like leaving the house to be honest with you but i really wanted to see BC Place too.
What an awesome game to be at regardless. As long as we don’t get less than 30,000 and hopefully have all the kinks worked out for October 29th, and the week after are both home games. If we can do another 50,000 and a 30,000 we’d have successfully averaged 40,000 lol. Then if we can get a West Final, that should be a sellout considering in the non-grey cup hosted years we were able to draw 50,000+ in the old dome. This is a new dome and a west final to a Grey Cup that was sold out a long time ago might actually pull, let’s be generous and say 50,000 but with reduced capacity to 54,000 i think we could sell that one out if we get it, maybe even if we got a west semi-final, that would be awesome.
As exciting as attendance figures are, the real treat has been watching this team live for 3 times on this streak, Last game at Empire, the next week driving out to Calgary to watch, and then for the 2nd game at BC Place for the Lions. All the while winning 7 in a row, and if we continue this to our next home I would not be surprised if we got another 50,000 back for Edmonton. Just top notch entertainment, love going to the Lions games. I’m actually going to be attending on the 29th as well i’m hoping.
I agree :thup:
Especially if the dogfight for 1st place continues. If they are still playing for 1st place or there is a chance the Lions could take 1st on October 29 then watch out. 50,000+ here we come!
