Getting revenue numbers from cfl head office has always been very difficult to get. Most honest and open numbers you can get are from the 3 community owned teams when they put out their annual financial numbers showing the breakdowns of revenue from league office. I mean heck cfl says it has revenue sharing again but still hasn't said how much or what percentage of gate receipts are divided to home and opposing teams if there is revenue sharing.

Argos seem to be selling the first 5 rows of the upper deck at a time right now sales seem to be moving around 1000 tickets a day which isnt too bad considering how little promotional work MLSE puts in the team. My prediction for attendance now I will go with 22377 on sunday

He will probably also boast about their partnership with Genius Sports all the great exposure and potential revenue involved with them without actually providing any hard numbers. Offhand, I seem to remember a few tweets from earlier this year or last year that estimated each club may receive between $1.5 - $2 million through the partnership. |

Bettman while in Winnipeg this week said Winnipeg is in contention to host either an upcoming entry draft or all star game once the 5th stage of True North Square is complete which will be a 5 star hotel. Chipman seems to be wanting a entry draft more than an all star game.

Fun fact, Winnipeg was slated to host the draft in 1995 but it was moved to Edmonton due to franchise instability at the time (there was concern the Jets would move after the 1995 season, but it was postponed for another year). |

I just saw Apple's big fail of a plan for MLS. Apple TV subscribers can pay $12.99 a month or $79 a season. In other words, you can pay a fee on top of a fee to have the privilege of watching MLS Soccer. Brilliant!:haha: This is sure to boost MLS popularity in North America.

Cfl west final drew 1.2 million viewers. East final only 629,000 on tsn no French language rds numbers released. East and west final numbers down 17% to last year. Ambrosie announced today league will have playoff games on Saturday next year instead of Sunday outside of the grey cup to avoid conflict with nfl games to please tsn.

I don't think it's a good idea to switch playoff games to Saturdays. In 2008, during the middle of the CFL's last heyday, they league switched their playoff games to Saturdays and it was a disaster. Ratings decreased by 30-50% collectively. The following year, the league switched the playoff games (division semi-finals and finals) to Sundays and the ratings increased back to 2007 levels. |

I guess we have to go through this exercise once every 15 years? |

Sure feels like tsn treats cfl like curling now and everything revolves around nfl.

Regardless of who encouraged it, I think it will ultimately result in a decreased tv audience. |
