    But also .. isn't it largely what the Bombers have been doing already?  

    Passionate owner?  Community owned but you can't deny Wade is passionate about the Bombers and the CFL.

    Successful coach?  O'Shea was an inspired choice and was allowed to grow without interference or be subjected to knee jerk decisions (THIS WILL BE VITAL for the Elks).

    Get out into the community?  We do that .. in spades.

    Special events to attract fans?  This is all part of the bigger game day experience and something we've improved upon year over year.

     

    The biggest hurdle Edmonton has to face is fan apathy and that cavern of a stadium (which was a similar problem the Argos faced playing in Skydome).   That won't be an easy task but it starts first with removing barriers for families to get out to games - make it cheap.  A butt in a seat at a good price is far better than an empty stadium.   

    The last few years the stadium elks have offered free seats to kids to come with their parents.  I know last year we went with 20 people and probably only paid for 8 seats.
