Nourished greatly by Vancouver's 34,000+ - haven't seen so many people at a Lions game since the early days of dome.
Winnipeg, as expected was a strong 2nd, putting 26,000 (announced) bums in the stands. Don't care if Wad Miller had to paper 1,000 or 1,500 it was a darn good look for the Big Blue.
Mosaic looked a tad empty but right up there with Winnipeg. Gas costs prolly having a slight impact on travel within the province.
Calgary was a Dead Man's Paradise. Maybe 20,000, more like 16,500 to 17,500 actual walking dead making their way to antiquated McMahon.
If the Young Canadians (Nate Rourke, Mikey O'Connor & Art Bergmann) can keep bringing down the rain. BC might not only win but they might lead the league in attendance. They should - there's over 4 million in the region vs. barely 650,000 in Winnipeg (and remember of that 650k in Wpg. you have to factor in many of them are deadbeats, street zombies, ex-cons, beggars, grifters, nervous wrecks & bi-pods)
NOTE: I predicted 23,500 to 24,500 in the Winnipeg gallows for Game 1 so Miller beat me on that deal, Basically, Miller has to keep IGF at around 25,000+ for the Bombers to be in the chips. They will have a couple games in the 22,500 to 23,500 range but this wasn't one of them. Miller also has his sights set on a possible 27,000 to 28,000 attending the western final - if the Bombers get on another roll. Why won't they?
