Two things. I'm not going to push the panic button because attendance was announced under 19K on a Thursday night early in the season. Winning, exciting football can cure some of the ills and should get it back to respectable numbers. I also don't want to speak ill of someone in poor health, especi...

Didn't I read that Skulsky stated the season ticket sales are up this year ? If so, are the new ticket holders masquerading as empty seats ? at least 1/3 of the season ticket holders didn't show up for thursday night game, just watched it on TV ... stop scheduling thursday night games or they will ...

Braley is the owner and as such, ultimately responsible for the performance of the team on and off the field. The buck stops with him. This situation with the Lions attendence continuously dropping is edging dangerously closer and closer to what the Argos dealt with during Braley's ownership. You c...

I don't necessarily think that they're "not getting it done." It almost seems like this organization is in a holding pattern until it does sell, unfortunately in Vancouver the best way to get fans back is to put a winning product on the field. You can market and market and market the team...

I agree Dennis has go to when this team is sold start fresh like when ackles came here.

A lot has changed since Bob Ackles died. Every game is on TV now and everyone who watches sports on TV has a big HD screen can watch at home for free, with an unlimited supply of cheap beer and snacks. TSN is paying the league $40 million for the right to televise every game in the time slots that ...

There is no way the lions would have slipped in attendance if bob ackles was still with us in fact we probably would have had close to 30,000 season ticket holders and probably averaging close to 40,000 at the new bc place Ackles would not have allowed the high prices and the way Brailey has run thi...

Man that building looks empty I don't attend games often (about once a year). I briefly considered heading downtown tonight, but traffic from the 'burbs on a Thursday? No thanks. Traffic is so bad two of the guests on the pregame show missed their segments because they were stuck in it. I imagine a...

Man that building looks empty

Thursday night games really are not great for the Lions attendance. I'd suggest that's because the team is pulling so much from the interior/island/Fraser valley - which is hardly a novel idea - but it's been really bad for the team. I know TSN is pushing hard for it, with a doubleheader today, but...

Pretty sad that the Lions only had 16,000 fans on average at the 9 regular season games last year. The damage done by a number of years (starting at the end of 2011 when they moved into BCP 2) of ridiculous pricing has been enormous. If you look at it, after the 2012 WDF is when the interest in the...

Just shows you how far the Lions have fallen in regards to fans in the stands. So much of it self inflicted with moronic ticket pricing (albeit starting to improve this season.) Lions and whitecaps need to build there own stadium together like the Argos are at bmo field , with new owners on the hor...

Looks like tickets are selling not bad for a Thursday game. First, I HATE excuses, but let's face it. It's a Thursday game against an Eastern opponent so I would expect a gate similar or even less than Week 1 against the Stamps. Also, this is a fickle market and it takes more than 2 wins to turn he...
