The Argos wore their away jerseys at home today to break the jinx and it worked. Maybe they're on to something.

As for attendance, I predicted at the onset that a realistic goal for the franchise...

I still believe that the Argos can eventually average decent crowds at BMO, but the on field product has to improve if they expect to rebuild a fan base in this city.

It doesn't help that they continue to shit the bed at BMO Field. Scoring 13 points isn't going to generate a lot of excitement for the fans that bothered to show up.

Yeah, I heard that this morning. It would be nice if any of them had a clue. They couldn't even name five players on the team FFS. The only guy that has any credibility when discussing TFC on the air...

I don't dispute their relevance in this market, but if they are to have any hope whatsoever of rebuilding a loyal fan base, they are going to have to start winning some games at home.

Losing Ricky Ray for an important stretch of home games certainly hasn't helped their cause. Winning won't solve all their issues, but a 1-4 record at BMO is not going to entice any casual fans to...

It looks about 2/3 full. Better than I expected, but then again that's with free tickets being handed FFS.

Hopefully they can hang on to finally win a game at BMO.

The only thing worse than tailgating and attending a CFL game on a Wednesday is doing so on a Monday. The schedule is going to make things difficult for a team that is struggling to attract new fans...

There are quite a few supporters on this site that have also supported the Argos in the past, myself included. The current state of the franchise is deplorable, and is not the least bit comparable to...

:facepalm:

The organization should feel embarassed by this promotion.

If they do it right, they should eventually be able to average about 20K. That is a realistic target if the games are primarily on weekends and the product on the field is decent.

If they want to capitalize on the opportunity, they should schedule all/most home games on weekends when TFC is on the road. Tailgating on a Wednesday just doesn't work.

Mid week games for the Argos will never fare well.

I have to admit, the stadium looked fantastic last night. The Argos on the other hand were brutal on the pitch. If they hope to revive interest in the club in this town, they have to have a better on...

So far so good. The pitch looked fantastic tonight. No visible lines or wear and tear.

The Argos will never recapture their glory days in this city, but they don't have to attract 45,000 fans anymore either.

I think they have a decent chance at averaging 20,000 fans a game playing...

A lot of consideration for TFC went into planning the Argos schedule, as promised. The shortest time frame between matches is 6 days.

Outdoor hockey games wasn't the only factor involved in the decision to renovate BMO Field, but it was definitely a motivating factor. The profit from one outdoor Leaf game will dwarf that of a TFC...

MLS will be considered a second tier league until the overall level of talent within the league is comparable to the top tier leagues in Europe. It might happen at some point, but at the rate the...

If the Argos put a decent product on the field, they should average about 20,000 fans per game. It will be a far cry from the old days, but good enough to survive. I just hope that it's not at our...

The lines shouldn't be an issue with the financial resources MLSE has available to find the best solution. Where there's a will, there's a way.

I would like to think that MLSE is going invest more than FC Dallas ownership in maintaining the integrity of our pitch. That pitch in Dallas looks terrible. Not as bad as Seattle or NE, but still...

It doesn't look like a lot of effort went into preparing the pitch for the MLS matches though. In Seattle, that's an absolute joke.

Perhaps I'm being overly optimistic, but if they consistently allot a week or more for the grass to recover before TFC games based on scheduling considerations, it might be feasible. Earlier this...

As long as TFC is the primary tenant and the integrity of the pitch is maintained, I couldn't care less how many events such as the Grey Cup or Winter Classic are scheduled moving forward. We'll see...
