I always assumed it was sports attendance, marketing and TV ratings in Canada - not that the sport itself is necessarily Canadian. Isn't the thread title just taken from the now defunct weekly Yahoo article "The Great Canadian Ratings Report" - which gave ratings for sports televised in Canada?
Of course, we haven't talked about XFL ratings in Canada - so I guess we're off topic. So, I'll ask - how's the TV ratings for the XFL in Canada?
Yea, I figured these teams would limit their ticket sales - so all the fans are gathered closer together and it doesn't look as bad... but they're still playing in a stadium much too large for their needs. If they have any hope of surviving, they'll need to improve the game atmosphere by trying to piggy-back off an existing smaller stadium - like an MLS stadium.
