@FarhanLaljiTSN@sask_kyle@CFLonTSN Cracked 30000 last year. Biggest crowds in EDM have routinely been vs SSK even in recent lean years. Riders also haven't played a non covid affected summer game in Edmonton since 2018. #TractorFactor is real.
@TheElksHerd Open the upper deck, and they will come.
Why risk NOT selling the upper bowl just because you want the lower bowl filled? The same business prowess that's resulted in 16,000 avg attendance.
@JasonGregor@IAmMoLarr@LWillson_82 This year, if the ball is on the 50, it's a makeable and exciting 57 yard FG attempt (50 yards to uprights + 7 for snap/hold). Next year, if the ball is on the 50, it's a 72 yard FG attempt (65 yards to uprights + 7 for snap/hold).
You will see more punting next year.
@SAMsOttawa@LWillson_82@ObsidianSasky Even if you ignore the "Americanization" theories and take the commish's logic and reasoning for the '27 changes at face value, the belief it will result in anything significantly positive is crazy.
@SAMsOttawa@LWillson_82@ObsidianSasky Sorry. Should've included #sarcasm. My point is NOBODY stays away because of goal posts or uprights. And the league thinking these changes will lead to exciting football and increased attendance/ratings is laughable.
@CFLonTSN@TSNDaveNaylor The end of Elks/Ti-Cats took 11 mins? Why is that? Two mins due to injuries plus a HAM timeout. Replay Centre called down to call a penalty NOT called on the field (1 min) and a challenge with 0% chance of success took 2 mins. Fix the reviews and penalties!
@LWillson_82@Bighill44 Curious how it grows the game. Were people staying away because of the goal posts and rouge? Well, ticket sales will now skyrocket.
Command centre still garbage, website and stats still garbage, coaches cap still in place. CFL investing $0 to "grow the game."
