Curious to see if there is any chance the success of the Jets, the return of the Moose and the Goldeyes impacts Blue Bomber attendance? I read an infuriating comment on another board ridiculing Bomber attendance. Don’t get me wrong, the Blue Bombers are third in CFL attendance this season @26k~/average per game. FOOD FOR DISCUSSION.

Jets 2017/2018: 628,161 fans @$120 average ticket price (guess)

Moose 2017/2018: 200,526~ fans @$20 average ticket price (guess)

Goldeyes 2017: 219,556~ fans @$20 average ticket price (guess)

Well, glad you mentioned June. June can be nice for sure. However on the flip side, I've seen some crappy ones in my life both in Calgary & Winnipeg. We're also talking weekend games. People have cottages & they're at them in June.  In Calgary, tens of thousands of people head out to the mountains in Banff, K Country or SE BC. I also find June is a busy month for a lot of people. Going to a Bomber or Stamps game isn't a priority.

Yes, I'd like to see Thurs games in June.  You're always battling cottage country in Winnipeg but its only a fraction of the total population of Manitoba that needs to show up for the games.

I thought having a Stamps game on the Sat night of the August long weekend was crazy but that's TSN. They said 27,000 showed up but I know McMahon Stadium & there's no way. More like 23,000. I was in Winnipeg & I watched the game at my In Laws. I know the fan support for the Stamps right now in Calgary is luke warm after what happened the last 2 Grey Cups.  They wouldn't get a bigger crowd for a game on a long weekend on a Sat nite.

I agree with SpeedFlex that some tickets need to be lowered. Endzones at IGF are an example.

In my life time ...  I've had far more friends/family say they don't wanna sit out in the freezing cold then them saying "I don't want to go because it's June and I want to sit at the beach" .....

Both are realities. It is what it is. 

I just watched part of the game on TSN.  

I disagree with you all, TSN has been doing their part to make me go to home games. It’s called the “Rod Blackout”.
