October 22, 20213 yr comment_533077 I'm actually super interested in the conversation about "level of fandom".....I find all of that super interesting.

October 22, 20213 yr comment_533083 I'll be real... the first game I took my daughter to was vs BC a couple years ago now. Why? Cuz I knew there would be less people. Historically BC seems to draw 20 to 25k here... Maybe clinching the west factors in this time tho. And the fact they are ******* good.

I think we are looking at low 20s. Saturday night Jets games are prime games.

Agreed. This is a non-starter, except we can all agree that if you don’t attend the games in person at IG Field, you cannot be looked at as a “true fan” and any excuse like “I live in a different Province” is weak, lame, and a pure cop out. Right Noeller? 😉

October 22, 20213 yr comment_533101 I'll say 24,000. Oh and don't real fans camp out over night outside IG Field before every home game?
October 22, 20213 yr comment_533103 Taking our grandsons to the game tomorrow....section 232 gets 2 more fans tomorrow!
October 22, 20213 yr comment_533106 I gonna saw whatever they announce it will look like a lot less, as for Harris give me as long as he needs and have him ready for the big game, might as well give Collaros some down time to after we clinch on Friday

Harris, apart from being a talented athlete with a big prey drive, is a money player. He gets better and better when the games matter.

Swervin Mervin was a great player but didn't get the same reaction that Peanut Butter Kapp did back in the day. Kapp drove people to the stadiums of opposing teams just for their hate of his arrogance. He was a showman for sure that is somewhat lacking in some respects today.
