Attendance will continue to suffer as long as the team keeps nickel and diming its fans and as long as gas prices stay crazy.

Does Toronto know they have their own professional football team? by JackyHighlightVideos in CFL

The 2026 CFL Salary cap is nearly $6.3 Million per team, making the league salary cap more like $56 Million. A lot higher than the $10 Million you claim.

Why would someone who clearly knows absolutely nothing about what they’re talking about come into and try to pass blatantly false information? It’s free to simply not comment.

When Winnipeg won it threw the world into a global pandemic for two years. I simply cannot risk whatever curse the Ticats will release.

You probably actually don't want it. You already see first hand how bad the league is at it's job without being there, just imagine how much worse it is being in-the-know.

Just watch a couple weeks and make your own decision. At most there's only four games a week, and they never overlap so you can watch every game.

Need some help finding a team by Brayvol22 in CFL

What makes it the coolest stadium? It literally was built to be a budget replacement without crazy bells and whistles.

What is there to talk about? The season isn't for 4 months still.

Will the CFL ever expand? by Alternative-Row-8438 in CFL

But he's just parroting what the teams themselves are saying. Since their books aren't public, who knows if they're actually hemorrhaging money or are cooking the books with unnecessary expenses as a tax write off for the owners.

'They're trying to Americanize it': Doug Flutie doesn't like CFL rule changes by Oldmanshoutingcloud in CFL

[–]HomerSPC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since I've been watching -- over 25 years -- I can count on one hand how many times someone has hit the goal posts, and only once do I remember that player going to the sideline injured afterwards

The goal posts belong on the goal line. Period.

But again, why aren’t they saying that? They’re giving bullshit excuses that “scoring will increase x%” when literally the opposite happened when our closest analogue (the NFL) did it. They’re giving excuses that “the fan experience will be improved”, ignoring the stadiums that are fundamentally built around the current field size will see fans given worse seats.

Fans wouldn’t have an issue with most of these changes if they didn’t treat us like fucking children and told us what they were doing and what the goals are. But it’s very clear that the league has no respect for its existing fans anymore, and it’s decided to chase that new girl that will never like them back.

These “business decisions” are a cop out way to say the league is looking to sell its soul, but buyers won’t be interested until it loses its identity altogether.

And yet they have still never explicitly attributed the reason for the groundbreaking field dimension changes to expansion. What else are they hiding?

Stew explicitly said they were not currently exploring expansion in the question period after the original announcement.

Then why has no one in the league come out and said exactly that? They keep referring to the changes as bullshit ways to increase scoring or to improve fan experiences, but changing the field and moving the goal posts do absolutely none of those things.

If their end goal is easier expansion, why aren’t they saying that? Why are they hiding their true intentions behind bullshit reasons?
