You guys don't like rain even when your indoors?MacNews wrote:The numbers look encouraging but I'm waiting until the final ticket is sold. Little things such as rain can increase or reduce a crowd at BC Place so I have no idea how many will show up Sunday.
Will we outdraw the 2004 West Final?

Dickenson better come through Sunday or he's down the road

120db writing something other then attendance numbers is shocking at this point. :lol:Lion Guy wrote:No kidding. Come on kid, stick to your noise schtick.Lions4ever wrote:I'm sure you're a nice kid.

I think lower because, as others have mentioned, no CP Air to hype the team/game.
As far as Dickenson being gone next year:
- only if CP comes back (yeah, right), or
- if the Lions need to free up money to sign other guys
Whether he is around still in 2008 is a more interesting discussion .

Given there was no NHL lockout that provided the ?04 game with wall-to-wall talk and hype..... it was a GREAT crowd today.
I must say that I find the obsession with attendance on this board
somewhat puzzling. However, it is worth noting that in the
past year, the two largest crowds for football games in Canada have
been in Vancouver. This should go a long ways towards countering
the often-stated opinion that Lower Mainland sports fans will not
support the CFL.

For the first time since the 1983-87 era, the Lions/CFL have drawn at least one crowd per season of 50k+ in three consecutive seasons. Congrats B.C.!TheZeppo wrote:I must say that I find the obsession with attendance on this board

True enough. Whenever I turn on the Pratt and Taylor show in the afternoons these days, it's always hockey, hockey, and more hockey. Could be my imagination, but I don't recall it being like that before the Canucks went to 1040.

This may have been asked on other threads before, but I'm just suddenly curious again. Does anybody know what the attendance as when the Lions hosted five consecutive playoff games, four western finals and a semi-final in 1986?Ravi wrote:For the first time since the 1983-87 era, the Lions/CFL have drawn at least one crowd per season of 50k+ in three consecutive seasons.
