I have a pair of season tickets and I usually bring my oldest. If I could, I would bring my wife on my second ticket and bring my boys free. I would, of course, make my wife sit up high with the youngest. They're only there for the experience anyhow. 

So, kids getting in free, as long as it's not only with the $20 tickets, would be good for me. 

I said the same thing. I'd snap up free tickets for the kids or a set of cheap tickets in a heart beat. The kids are the ones who will continue to support the club so why not get them there young. And the amount I spend on food and drinks when my kids come is trippled so it's a no brainer for the club IMO.

Plus its not going to be like you are getting 10,000 kids getting in free but I could see where you would have 2000 to 2500 kids a game coming for free. You probably would get 10-15 in concession for each of those kids.

FYI: the Riders have fired their D-line coach. Funny- they were one of the better parts of the team this year.

I see you know my children!

theres no big money to be had in the XFL....

I thought XFL had contracts around 750 000 American?

Last home game I spent $40 on my son just on concessions. Hes 10 lol. They easily would have made up for a free ticket. 

The three dollar hot dogs are great. Can get two and drink for 11 bucks. 

And the $3 spring rolls are tasty too lol!

hell no!!...u added a zero

in the past, the XFL, which was co-owned by McMahon and NBC, paid players about$45,000 for the season. This time salaries for the 40-man squads are expected to average $75,000 with players who are "in demand making much more than that," according to reporting from Darren Rovell.Jun 30, 2018

Stories have been reported they are willing to pay up to 200k for "exceptional" players...but what is their idea of exceptional...and how many players would earn that max? I would think not many

Drew Edwards furiously writing about how this will kill the CFL yet?

I saw him on the sidelines and he seemed a bit shorter than 13 feet tall. 

I disagree - he was 20 feet tall if he was a foot. Arms like tree trunks. And on top of his head a shock of hair - red as the fires of Hell.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced Saturday that quarterback Jeremiah Masoli will miss the remainder of the 2019 Canadian Football League season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

Yikes, too bad for Hammy and the league. We need our marquee players on the field. 

Speedy recovery JM. 

 

That's brutal. As much as it makes might help the Bombers quest for a GC I sure don't want to see that to any team. What a shame. The whole situation was exactly what happened to Nichols in camp last year but didn't hold him out quite as long.

You know that when a guy goes down without contact that it's probably not going to be a fun injury. 

I don't buy the crap about Masoli being one of the star quarterbacks in the league but cripes the QB play is bad enough as is without starters getting hurt. 

Montreal for 1st in the east now? Ain't that some **** eh?

With Reilly looking like he'll be going down soon, this is the last thing the league needed

 

Sucks for Hamilton and their fans and the league as a whole.

In terms of the league, the East was bad already and this is only going to make it worse imo. Montreal for first since they seem like the best of the bunch? Crossover not only back in play but a better route to the Grey Cup?

No one knows how old he is, but if you ask me, and most people do, he's a hundred years if he's a day.

Agreed we need our best players on the field, but this injury had nothing to do with the new rules that protect QB's         ( and I realize you weren't arguing this). In fact, I can think of a few QB injuries where it was just a "freak" thing.Sad for Masoli though. Opens up the east now. I wonder if Toronto is now thinking, "So you say there's a chance!"

And then there were 3... Nichols, Harris and Reilly are the only starting QB's left standing this year and Reilly's been taking a beating.

Has Glenn been contacted by the ticats yet?

What are you guys talking about? Hamilton is so good that they made us look like pure crap WITH THEIR BACKUP QB! I won't be feeling sorry for them any time soon.
