Rivalries, Late Starts, & Game Days - Attendance

Four things the league should change coming into 2019:

1) The Thursday night games are a dud in the stadiums. They may have provided a small bump in TV ratings, but Thursday nights don’t work anywhere when it comes to ticket sales and even worse, it makes things difficult for football ops with so many quick four or five day turnarounds between games.

2) Begin the season with divisional rivals. Seeing Saskatchewan in Hamilton or Montreal in Edmonton does nothing to get fans excited to come to the stadium. Always begin and end the season with rival games. Give the fans the best games to begin the season.

3) End the 8pm starts in the West. It’s difficult to bring families to the game when the final gun goes at 11pm at the earliest and it’s two-hours later in the eastern time zone so no one is watching.

4) Finally, play Sunday games until the NFL starts on Labour Day. Sundays are for pro football, let’s keep it that way.

👁‍🗨I agree that these points are relevant and do affect attendance to a large degree. I don’t know who all came up with these thoughts, but Odd Rod has put them out there to think about. 

The League should think about it..
