The crowd was about 39 000 !

With Alouettes in, we could reach out around 62 000 next week !!!

Frankly, good luck to the visitor, that crowd will be hostile

I really really really f***ing despise the Alouettes, ESPECIALLY Calvillo.

Go whoever comes out of the west. Yes, I'll even cheer Calgary over those assholes!

What a crowd, what a game!!! 38,102 spectators!

We could do 60 000+ next week.

You're bitterness and hate makes 3,800 000 Montrealers sleep well.

I can't say that I'm disappointing the Alouettes won; it's pretty much sweet vengeance for us Bomber fans. They dominated the majority of the game.

I predict a BC-Montreal final.

What a sore loser.

39,000 fans for a division final seems a little disappointing to me. BC's last regular season game at bc place was that much. The western finals in bc place are always over 50 thousand with a smaller population

Rico Rommheim · #**490** Posted **Nov 15, 2008, 10:51 PM**

I think our last division finals game in the big O had a crowd of 34000!

But that's hardly surprising, Montreal is not a sports town, its not even a hockey town...its a HABS town! Anything else is just secondary!

In 2001, there was 54 000 for the division finals game.

Anyway, this is what I hate about Montreal !

Likely one of the worst sports city in North-America.

a mediocre effort by a mediocre team after a mediocre season led by a mediocre coach. Not bad enough to force a change, and not good enough to get any better next season.

It might be a little bit dissapointing but the crowd was really loud and it definatly helped us today!

Wow, you really are a sore loser. Montreal played a better game in the second half, just like Edmonton played a better game in the second half last weekend.

Some people really need to grow up around here.

Already 55 000 tickets sold!!! Should go as high as 70 000

Quote:

Hoping to break the record for highest attendance for a Grey Cup game, the organizers will expand Olympic Stadium to almost 70,000 seats.

Quote:

The organizers of the 96th Grey Cup want to break the 70,000 attendance mark. The current record for highest attendance was set at the 1977 Grey Cup, also at the Big O in Montreal (68,318). In the 2001 Grey Cup, Montreal had the second-best attendance at 65,255. Last report the pre-sales have sold 55,000 seats. The 96th Grey Cup expects to be sold out.
