I'm almost certain the CFL season will try to trudge ahead because I truly don't know if it would survive another year off. Remains to be seen how the ticket gate will affect them this year and if they can survive that also.

I bought season tickets for the first time last year, and I do think think I would probably go if they did. Commonwealth is so big that spacing seats should be feasible, and being outdoors should be fine. May still mask up though, not sure.

And I may even have the vaccine by then anyway.

The biggest question I think is shared spaces like entering/exiting and washrooms. Maybe there are certain sections assigned to each and maybe there is staggered times. Not sure how they will handle that at either Commonwealth or Rogers.

The CFL won't survive without ~ 20-25k gates.

I thought they only had that many fans in 2-3 centers anyhow. Don't Toronto and Montreal's venues top out way below that?

Maybe I'm overestimating their attendance and facilities. Remember when the Esks used to regularly draw 50k or so?

Yeah - it always seemed packed when I was a kid.

I think that the NFL becoming a lot more accessible has hurt the CFL, as well as having a lot of years of incompetence from team management too. The amount of damage Tillman alone did to the brand is enormous.

It's hard to pinpoint what all the team has done wrong in the past 20 years, but I don't think kids are excited about the Green & Gold at all. Do they still have the kids get in free night (in normal non-COVID years?) I always thought that was smart. The stadium was always packed to the gills, and I think it helped build some engagement.

I’m predicting that all sports going forward are going to see a decline in popularity. Liking football in America and liking hockey in Canada won’t be the common trait that it once was.

A lot of my friends and their kids like to watch video game streamers on Twitch or e-sports. It’s only a matter of time, this is what the next generation does.

Clean house or bust
