I am guessing the LR games are well attended because they've been doing this for a long time.
The Razorbacks are the closest and only thing to big time sports for the entire state to identify with so I see why it works.
Though tonnes of grads must live in LR so it's almost like them attending a game on campus again just like in the old days. So this part would be different than proposal we are discussing. Plus we're talking about two different provinces here instead of one state.

When I first started watching football (both CFL and NFL) as a kid the Green Bay Packers used to play some home games at the Brewers' stadium in Milwaukee. The field was often a mess due to the mud from the baseball infield.
I can't remember how many games a season it was but it was more than one.
