I am pretty sure it was raining at kickoff time already and the forecast was nasty too.

My point is that we can now say with absolute certainty that the Ti-Cats aren't using tickets scanned to report attendance because the numbers barely differ game to game even though it's painfully obvious there are big chunks of empty seats from game to game. I saw the same thing last year as well. The novelty of the new stadium has definitely started to wear off. |
Just awaiting confirmation of LDC TV ratings. Apparently SSK/WPG were great, TOR/HAM were surprisingly good despite the delay and again surprisingly EDM/CAL ok but not great.

As per "empty seats" and I am certainly not claiming this about last night in Hamilton we now have the phenomena of the party plaza where people will leave their seats and congregate in open areas. So a snapshot at any particular time may not be an accurate depiction.
Other strange seating phenomena. The Argos sell fairly well on the side behind the camera and some sections of the upper deck, the side opposite the camera that everybody sees is relatively empty. Strangely Argos games I've watched have had a fair amount of people in the end zones. The upper deck of the CMNT game was empty but the soccer crowd loves to congregate behind the net. |

I'm guessing the Ti-Cats and THField as they lose potential revenue from concessions/mechandising from people not showing up. |

Hamilton average attendance, regular season: 2015: 24,231 2016: 24,001 2017: 23,727 There's a combination of things going on here:
We can discuss this forever and ever but at the end of the day Hamilton isn't one of the markets the CFL should be losing sleep over right now. Quite the opposite. |
I must preface this post. This is from cfl.ca and the person who made the post is a controversial character. This could be a pile of bull but if certain people rumoured to buy the BC Lions are the Aquilinis (Canucks) or the community business leaders The Waterboys this might be the kind of thing they would do to emulate the success of the REDBLACKS.
Good News - Great News According to a report from a Vancouver agency they have leaked information regarding a possible sale of the BC Lions and the deal likely will be done prior to Grey Cup. But if not then, definitely during the off-season. Part of the leaked information, the BC Lions new owners would develop a new athletic park which would be the new home of the BC Lions that would also house other sport facilities, retail/shops, with possible future housing complex. The new owners have gathered possible advertising partners to pay part of the project. Though this is very exciting news, I was told the BC Lions new owners would also be seeking public funding which likely means if the project goes forward, it wouldn't be until 2018-19. To whom the new owner is. I do know, but for privacy reasons, I will keep it private. |
^Seems to have disappeared, the plot thickens...

Even with our last place team the Jays have held onto a top spot for attendance in a 30 team league. Well done!
Through the gates so far this season. 1 LA Dodgers 3,215,925 45,941 2 St. Louis 2,896,054 42,589 3 San Francisco 2,869,953 40,999 4 NY Yankees 2,653,774 40,827 5 Toronto 2,759,779 39,996 |
I'll be a lot more impressed if they maintain their top 5 position this next season. They made it to the ALCS two years in row and they were always a ten game winning streak from being in playoff position once again.
