March 18, 20241 yr Author comment_691753 I'll tell ya... I was at a concert in Commonwealth last summer that was a sellout... so 60k+ in the seats, plus the field was full with "floor" seating. It was bonkers in there... it's quite the atmosphere when they DO fill it.... Report
March 19, 20241 yr comment_691759 The real reason you don’t see renovations on old stadiums is because the cost probably to renovate is close to the cost of a new modern smaller one. let’s be real, you starting taking things down in old buildings and old homes for that matter, there’s gonna be **** behind the walls you don’t wanna see that doesn’t meet todays codes. It’s a mess once you start opening up walls in old homes and buildings. The asbestos removal costs alone would be millions. Sometimes it’s cheaper to knock it down and redo it so you don’t have to in 10 years. Putting lipstick on a pig makes the pig cuter but it’s still a pig. Edited March 19, 20241 yr by Goalie Report

March 20, 20241 yr comment_691860 Man I don’t like the auto scrimmage from the 40 after a td. Maybe if it’s a none offensive td and make it automatic after a fg. I’d rather move the teams closer and make it slower speed for td kick offs. And or the no one can move until the ball is caught. Kr is a pivotal part of the Canadian football identity. Report

March 21, 20241 yr comment_691876 Maybe it’s me but didn’t notice many of what they mentioned during kick returns. Yes there were hits and stuff but in football you can hit people and the ppl being hit know that so I don’t see the problem. Keep it as is. Kick returns is what makes the cfl different than the NFL. Gizmo or Keith Stokes. Grant. The dude from Ottawa before. I mean. Those are get me out my seat plays. The media pushes it more than the league tho. Not sure why. It’s a contact sport. But in reality you can get injured pretty badly crossing the street. Or get a concussion from golf if a ball hits you in the head, so. I don’t get it. Edited March 21, 20241 yr by Goalie Report

Probably based on the NFL study that indicated that was the case. https://operations.nfl.com/updates/the-game/nfls-prioritization-of-player-safety-leads-to-promising-injury-data-for-2023-season/ Maybe it's the CFLPA pushing for the change, cause I can't see any GM's being overly concerned.

Yes, people blaming the media are out to lunch. The league doesn't want to make the game less exciting. They know people react poorly to these types of changes. Report
March 21, 20241 yr comment_691890 Only thing I'd do for kickoffs is not allow the cover guys to move vertically until the ball is kicked. Would open up returns a bit and reduce speed of collisions. Not a fan of the XFL setup. Think you can accomplish the same thing but still allow a wedge. Report

I’d be happy if that was the extent of the change. Maybe not giving the option of kick offs on fgs any more would be ok too. 17 hours ago, Fatty Liver said: Probably based on the NFL study that indicated that was the case. https://operations.nfl.com/updates/the-game/nfls-prioritization-of-player-safety-leads-to-promising-injury-data-for-2023-season/ Maybe it's the CFLPA pushing for the change, cause I can't see any GM's being overly concerned. You’re probably right. But I don’t think it’s fair to compare apples to orange league to league. If that’s the case it’s just lazy on the cfls part. Report
