Re: 2016 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions
Dropping the Price is not the answer the lions and the CFL is just not popular enough , If this was anything else that had hype to it a event a movie etc it would be packed . The CFL and the Lions only has them to blame . I don't disagree, Tom. And I think the Lions should take a fair bit of the bl...

Re: 2016 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions
The Lions must drop ticket prices. There is NO doubt about that. Quit pretending you're on the same field as the Canucks, Seahawks, etc...and drop them. Make it easier to get into games. Make it reasonable to bring a family of four. I have family in the Bay Area. They used to be able to get four tic...

Re: 2016 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions
In defence of footballtom's Canadians comment, the Cs have managed to sell out 35,36 home games this season at 6000 fans per game. Yes, that pales in comparison to 22000 for the Lions. But honestly, who knows anything about the Northwest league or any of the players? They have no TV coverage and rel...

Re: 2016 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions
I hate to be the jerk who brings this up...but have you tried skytrain to games? From Langley, you could get on at Scott Road station. Take the new South Fraser Perimeter Road, and it goes right there. From Ladner, get thru the tunnel and then jump on at Richmond Centre. It's not ideal...and it's bu...

Re: 2016 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions
I maintain, as I have for a while, that Lions management thinks the team is a big player in the market - and those views are backed by TSN telling the Lions that they're a huge property. Because of all that, I truly think the Lions feel they don't need to offer cut-rate prices on tickets. They feel ...

Re: one time I am in favor of usa gun rights
yes, shooting down a drone in a residential area is a brilliant idea. And a judge approves. God bless the United States of America.

Re: 2016 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions
I agree so much with this ^^ There HAS to be a push to get younger fans and families into games. I went Saturday and was pleasantly surprised to see how many there were - but there still weren't many. And you're really going to struggle getting families in when four tickets cost $200 (or whatever, I...

Re: 2016 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions
That'll cost the Lions a ton of money that they simply don't have. The fireworks bring something like 400,000 people downtown. An extra West Coast Express makes a ton of sense for that. It probably doesn't for a team getting 20k fans to a game. I think we'll have to make do with extra skytrain cars

Re: 2016 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions
Brian, you need to stop shredding the MLS and think more about what the Lions are doing. And quit using TV numbers to show how strong the Lions are. The Argos are a complete afterthought in Toronto, and get similar TV number to the Lions. TV numbers are becoming a red herring for a lot of CFL fans. ...

Re: When the Hell is this team going to be sold?!?!
The TSN money has been a big factor. Skulsky told 1040 before the season started that he wasn't too concerned about attendance because the TV money made the gate revenue are far smaller concern. I'm paraphrasing, but I was shocked. How do you say that? But beyond that, I truly believe the great TV n...

Re: When the Hell is this team going to be sold?!?!
^^and that's really my point. It's easy to pinpoint Braley and suggest he's the reason this is faltering. But it's not that simple. The Argos didn't struggle in Toronto simply because Braley was their owner. There are a myriad of reasons why the Argos are in an uphill fight - Braley just happened to...

Re: When the Hell is this team going to be sold?!?!
I'm not sure that Braley is the big issue either - but there's certainly some merit to the idea that a group of owners would have incentive to really hit the pavement and figure out ways to make this team more intriguing to the non-hardcore fans. Which, in a way, is saying that the current managemen...

I dunno. I thought Bo had his hand under Ray's head, pulling it back. I don't think that's a bad call.

Re: Argos vs. Lions Game Day Thread
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...
