Probably a bit, but not that much. Ratings for even the Stanley Cup playoffs in Quebec plummet like a stone if the Habs aren't there, so imagine a Grey Cup with two teams from the Prairies. Even if it was taking place in Montreal.
Although total attendance in the stadium itself for some reason was awesome: over 65,000 fans, the third biggest Grey Cup crowd ever.
