Since the renovation, due to wider seats, the seating capacity at BC Place is now 54,320. Pre renovation it was 59,841. Would have to agree though, it's both funny and sad that the Lions cannot average over 35k in a stadium like that. It all went downhill when Bobby Ackles passed away. Yeah .. Used to attend games there somewhat regularly when I still lived in BC. Forgot about the post renovation "shrinkage"

Condos in my neighbourhood here in Winnipeg are going for 375-425k. Doesn't seem too absurd to me. /shrug

Lawless speculating that the RedBlacks could go as high as 250k for Dressler. That would be a huge chunk of cap space tied up in two players (Burris and Dressler). Can't say I'd pay that kind of money.

@CFLDigest: RedBlacks backup QB DeMarco done for year http://t.co/V0Js0FRSIn #CFL Damn shame.

I would think quite a few. BC president failed to tell everyone to read the fine print. The seats will likely be freebies in the rafters that are never full anyway. having sat up there many times I can say they are still darn good seats. It's a beautiful stadium. Its too bad the hipster-douchebags in Vancouver can't fill it. It's capacity is 54,000. You expect that every game? Actually, capacity is closer to 60K (59k and change if I remember correct). But when metro Vancouver has a population of around 2.3 million .. it's a bit comical that the Lions can't routinely draw 35k+ to the dome.

If the organization has that kind of money to throw around .. putting up billboards all over the country .. more power to them .. can't say it impresses or bothers me in the least.

Definitely dig the Als signature jersey .. but people are right .. just underscores / highlights just how god awful ours are.

He was also very disciplined in his rush as well .. generally had good contain .. played the spot very well from a fundamentals standpoint.

Dressler is the better player AINEC, I don't know what AINEC means but absolutely Dressler is better thn Matthews. And It's Not Even Close

And the two guys (Dressler and Willy) might have some familiarity with one another .. coming out of Saskatchewan .. that can't hurt from a chemistry standpoint.

Madani is talking out his rear end. #BearDown

The biggest thing for me is consistency. Every league misses / blows calls .. but the officiating in the CFL is so wildly inconsistent .. the level of unpredictability is what separates it from every other league.

Owens had no chance to protect himself. Tough hit.

Was hoping Toronto might do us a favour and help bring Edmonton back to us a bit .. That said .. A route to the post season through the East doesn't sound too bad

I think the more tangible affect on the CFL might be the expansion of NFL practice rosters .. granted .. the impact is not huge but it further shrinks the pool of potential cuts ..

I'll say, for the record, I don't mind digital camo .. I just feel that Reebok completely missed the boat in terms of branding .. yes the "W" is displayed prominently .. but the colours associated with this club .. are blue and gold .. make an effort to encorporate it into the uniform .. pants .. helmet .. something .. and I've always felt, that if you're going to go digital camo .. just go for it .. something like this would have been nice (just an example of feel - disregard colours): Or just the jersey: It would look far better than what we have now.

I saw that one on the feed too. That's actually better then what I was thinking about. And I like the gold trim around the W. Better than the current design (the "gold" comes off as green - intentional?) .. only thing I'd remove are the numbers from the front .. just too busy and out of place.

Taman's M.O. In full effect. Steal from Peter to pay Paul.

Hated the lighter material myself. Always "felt" like a cheap imitation. I prefer the heavier fabric / tailored fit

The jerseys aren't terrible .. but it's decidedly non Bomberlike ..

Can't understand the angst surrounding a marketing gimmick. If people don't like the jersey .. they won't buy it .. if people do .. they will. There are going to be people in both camps and there are going to be people who buy it simply because it's Bomber related. /shrug

Yeah, but it's different when a guy goes in for a skill position. Just putting Stoudermire in the game won't surprise the defence, as he wouldn't line up at tight end or something like that. The plays themselves is the info that would be barred from public knowledge After last week, it's not going to be a surprise to anyone that the Bombers are going to look to try and get this guy in space and see if he can make a play. Montreal will be very aware of him when he's on the field .. it's going to be a matter of tendencies which will dictate if those plays designed to get Stoudermire the ball will be successful.

My order of preference for Signature jersey's revealed so far: 1. BC 2. Toronto 3. RedBlacks 4. Riders

I guess you have never heard of a man named Moore? Moore was already established in the league .. and while Walters did bring him to Winnipeg .. I think Floyd is talking about how we haven't found a rookie receiver who has made an impact. For all the guys we brought in, none have made much noise.

Of course there are a few dents in the armor .. but the approach I take is that nothing is ever as bad as it seems .. nothing is ever as good .. it's called perspective .. a lot of people lose it after a tough game.
