The Jets only control so much especially with the untouchable and constant "Next Year" Stanley Cup Champion Leafs playing on the same day. This schedule mix up doesn't bother me at all. The Bomber game is going to be way more fun and the Jets still have dozens of home games left. Like Noeller said, easy choice.

The Bombers aren't backed by one of(the?) wealthiest people in Canada so every person in the stands matters.

I don't think anyone who was going to choose the Jets considered the Bomber game in the first place.

Jets season ticket holders for sure are going to some meaningless game because it is so expensive to pass up. Plus, if you are in a ticket share you only get so many games. It impacts attendance, you will never convince me otherwise. Edited October 22, 20213 yr by Geebrr

The flip side of that is that when people have turned out the Bombers, more often than not, have **** the bed. Tonnes of good will, 30K+ in the stands .. lay an egg. If we get 25K tomorrow I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Casual fans don't respond to that. They've played plenty of really good games in front of packed houses. The reality is that with covid and TV every team is having trouble at the gate this year.

October 22, 20213 yr comment_533072 This time of year, if there was no Jets game, I could see north of 25k, but with the Jets game (not just people in attendance, but those that will stay home to watch the Jets on TV) at the same time, I think they'll be around 20k.....
