I have always heard cheerleading over the idea of CFL teams being owned by the same people who own NHL teams because it would supposedly usher in an era of deep pocketed, stable, "big time" ownership. But what is the good of that when the team is still subject to this kind of miserly penny pinching that ultimately hurts their image in the long run?

I'm not sure this is penny pinching vs trying to expand the game to an underexposed youth market. Most pre-season games get less than average crowds, so why have a lackluster 7-8K at BMO vs. exposing some kids to pre-season game at Varsity which will be a packed with 5K, which hopefully some kids think is fun and ask their parents to take them to another game
