I know. It was more of a rhetorical question. I love the "Toronto pricing" quote. Like, people are paying a million dollars for an average house here, are stretched to the limit, but if they pay more...

Wow. For the fun of it, I clicked on greatwhitenorf's link to Grey Cup Tickets. Narrowed down randomly on Section 108. As he said, there are a ton of blue dots. Clicked on one. $699 for that seat...
I was reading an article last week (wish I could find it again) saying the NFL gets virtually no audience on TV in the UK except for the games played at Wembley. In part because of the time zone...
The NFL is targeting London for expansion before Toronto ever gets a look. They want to grow their product internationally. They already have Canada's television audience without needing a team in...
Maybe it's just the angle but it looks pretty small and pathetic.
I'm not taking shots, sorry if it was interpreted that way. I have family in the Toronto newspaper game who know these stats very well. In their case they actually get undercounted. All I was saying...
I don't know that much about television viewership numbers, but newspaper circulation numbers should be take with a massive grain of salt.
^ I think David Miller closed off the Argos to BMO situation while he was in the mayor's chair. As well all know, he's a big TFC supporter and, as I understand, wanted BMO to remain soccer specific....
I have no doubt all tickets were sold. I can't recall seeing such a demand and so many people not being able to get a ticket. But I don't think the stadium was full. Maybe Pint was right and the use...
The point to me is that even the papered number isn't great. The problem with debates about attendance is people immediately start discounting the announced number. I've had Argos fans telling me we...
I think we ought to take their announced numbers at face value. Everyone knows announced TFC numbers over the years have often looked sketchy compared to what's in the stadium. Yeah, the Argos were...
Ha ha. Way to bring it back.
You need to get some of those guys to BMO for Saturday's game Kurt. It's going to be loud and rocking. They won't help but be pulled into it.
Ha. Agreed.
The commercial time outs they do are brutal. It's boring enough with all the stoppages in play, but they stop often for like 3-4 minutes and just stand around during those commercials.
It was more boring than a Blue Bombers game? Why is that? The Argos are crap? Or do the Blue Bombers do more in stadium?
Pisses me off too. I (still, stupidly) pay for Sportsnet World, which is supposed to be the channel for soccer games. And now they want me to pay for another channel just for TFC? Screw them. Glad I...
Weeknights have to be the worst time for the Argos. Games start at 7:30. Remember, these aren't soccer games. CFL games can go 3 1/2 hours, especially with TV timeouts which they have frequently...
Can we start a "marketing the Argos to Liberty Village" thread? You know, for the Argosfan.com interlopers on this board?
Another strategy for the Argos. Tie into this crowd:

If you can't make football and...
Do a marketing campaign showing a bearded offensive lineman fishing off the Leslie Spit and you might get em.
They go to Blue Jays games now, so I don't see why not.
Ha ha. Stock Pabst Blue Ribbon, and tank the attendance numbers for a few more weeks, and the Liberty Village crowd will be theirs!
One thing made me laugh in the Argos thread. Someone asked about the best way to drive to the game, to which someone responded parking in Liberty Village and walking down through the tunnel. A good...
I wish I could believe that but I've seen soccer sold down the river too many times in this country over the years to feel confident. The fact that we're even in this ground share situation in the...
