maybe things are turning around in B.C....hopefully they trounce Jones and give that crowd a reason to come back

Wonder how many paid and how many were given away though... Only time will really tell. If we see 10k in the stands and a packed house at half time, its the show. If we see a low crowd in the seats and it tapers off as the year goes on they gave a ton of tickets away.

Now, I have to go back to the Lions website. Thanks a lot, Booch.

A pre game concert could be a disaster for attendance lol.

If I was in Vancouver, I'd consider going but lately, lately, I've been losing sleep, so I might just have a nap instead.

Imagine 50k people at the pre game concert and 10k for the game? Ouch. Hope that doesn't happen but I'd be nervous if I was in bc.

[Noeller]

nah, that won't happen... not for kickoff anyhow. Some may peter out depending on how things are going for the Leos, but at kickoff it'll look pretty full.

[rebusrankin]

Gates will be locked until after quarter one. Armed guards will be posted and told to shot if anybody tries to escape.

No worries, you will have plenty of time to listen to Suitor try while a football game plays and they ignore the game completely.

Even Costco has loss-leaders- where else can you get a cooked rotisserie chicken and hot dog and pop for those prices?

I’m not talking about the investment lost. I’m talking how bad it’ll look for the fan base.  Imagine if you are winning a close game at home and your crowd is leaving in mass. Or if 5x more show up for the pre game then the game. 

[Goalie]

Not gonna lie, that's pretty fn cool and huge to get one republic out for a cfl game. That's better than the Grey cup half time acts normally 

Bombers should bring in Slipknot or something for a game.

Is the upper bowl open? I thought they were limiting the seats to lower bowl only? Damn, you, wbbfan, now I have to go back and check. 

 

Ugh, yes, lower bowl only. Capacity 28,0000. Still, if they can get 3/4 of that out, that would be great momentum for them. 

 

For reference, the White Caps are averaging 16,405 this season. Up from just over 10,000 last year (Covid).

Ah ok well that’s not soo dramatic then. I feel like the lowlands want to get out to white caps games. I don’t think they care about the Leo’s. But it’d be great if the new owner can turn that around. 

[Goalie]

Ppl want to go out again too tho

They're just talking about it now, due to demand.

But it isn't yet.

Lions game, say 15,000 extra peeps in seats, 10 beers each at 10 bucks a brew, guzzintas, carry the naught, that’s $1,500,000 extra revenue!
