The Lower Mainland is populated enough that they should be able to sell out BC Place stadium every time. The problem is that football just isn't as big of a sport there as it is on the Prairies, the Maritimes, and the US. It will take the continued resurgence of the CFL nationally and perhaps a provincial rival in Victoria before Vancouverites start supporting the Lions in large numbers.
Actually, a provincial rival for the Lions would help immeasurably. Same goes for the Alouettes. It's things like this that build interest.

Why? Bisons on one end and Bombers on the other would have been perfect. Everyone knows it's Blue Bombers, but we don't have to write the whole thing out. The key to a good graphic is to keep it simple while conveying your message. Not only did they write the whole thing out, they added 'Winnipeg' and the logo on top of that. It's way too busy.
Look how sharp UWO's end zone looks below. Everyone knows where they are. There's no need to clutter the graphic by writing 'The University of Western Ontario Mustangs'. They get graphics. The only distracting thing is the cut off corners due to the track and soccer lines; both beyond their control.
