CFL attendance 2016:
1. Saskatchewan: 31.1K
2. Edmonton: 29.2K
3. Calgary: 27.7K
4. Winnipeg: 24.8K
5. Ottawa: 24.7K
6. Hamilton: 23.9K
7. BC: 20.5K
8. Montreal: 20.1K
9. Toronto: 17.0K
It just seems to me that the CFL is a western thing where there is little competition for the sports dollar. In major eastern cities (and VAN) where there's a lot more to do, it's going to struggle.
