Says a lot though that brand new owners in mtl and a guy starting his second campaign as owner in bc will combine for 3 large concerts for their game day experience while the mighty mlse does jack $&@!

Argos owners probably furiously hounding the rock for some money or something. 

[JuranBoldenRules]

Let's be honest.  LL Cool J and OLP aren't drawing anyone in 2023.

People who were maybe on the fence about going might be swayed. Nostalgia shouldn't be underestimated either.

And like Noeller said, at least they're doing something. 

We can add Cgy to the list of owners who doesn't give a ****.

Idk. I think it’s smart marketing. That youngish 90s kid has money and is half the prime target demographic. 
 

 

[Atomic]

I'll take LL Cool J over the TSN house country band. I wonder what song we will be blessed with hearing 50 times a game this year?

If "youngish" is 45-50.  I'm almost 40 and LL Cool J was hardly a relevant performer in my lifetime.

His hits were mostly late 80s to early 90s with his last and one of his bigger hits with jlo in 02 and biggest solo hit from 90. May not have been relevant to you, but that doesn’t mean he’s a 70s guy. I’ll bet he’s far more relevant to the majority of cfl players that all the country acts we’ve had in the last 20 years. 
 When I lived in bc it was kind of starved for big concerts too. Though I wasn’t in vc.

The crucial audience they need to get into stadiums is a generation or two below anyone who will be interested.  That's my point.

The acts they need to get into the stadium to attract the fans they need are people we won't even recognize the names of.

Shocker from 3DN:

Sources have confirmed to me that Derek Dennis has been released by the Stampeders. 

 

Dennis was a candidate for Most Outstanding Lineman last year before an injury ended his season .

Derek Dennis being cut is shocking. Who is Calgary going to use there?

I could see the Riders scooping him up.

400 pound guy struggles to rehab from broken leg.  Story at 11.

[Brandon]

I thought I read that Dennis was going to retire?

[17to85]

Dennis also seems to struggle to stay consistent year to year 

[Bigblue204]

To go from potential MOOLM to cut in less than a year....thats rough

[Noeller]

Veteran DL Mike Moore expected to unretire, rejoin Stampeders: report

I'm a huge Our Lady Peace fan, I don't care if I'm the only guy there, more of an intimate show then.

[Mr. Perfect]

Noticed the Riders cut LaFrance. Would gladly take him back and let Augustine go.
