it looks like tickets are moving steady but i do predict there will be one more bigbang of ticket sales later todaY AROUND 12:00 PM, SO WE CAN ALL EXPECT OUR LARGEST CROWD SINCE 1985,

I am still predicting over 56,000.

You for got the 1987 western final Edmonton at bc 46,895

blocks of 8 no longer available?

what about the time there was 59,621; missing that one

Section 4, Row RR 8 in a row

As I said earlier.... this is where Ticketmaster's best available is somewhat flawed in that these high rows were skipped over once the east end zone sections opened up. Unless you dealt with a ticket agent, on the phone or in person, who would have no idea there was still $29 seating opposite the replay screen.

No they are still there in section 5 row vv

Just heard on cknw expecting a crowd of 55,000 but they would not say how many are sold.

I want more than 2004, so 56,000 would be very nice

I'm sure they're doing this so as to not scare people away. BEEECEEE reported last night that we were closing in on 55,000. They may scare people off by saying its looking like a near sellout (read: "you can get a seat but you'll be sitting in the last row of the highest section of the farthest corner from the field)...

... of course that's what it looks like when I check TM: Sec 5 Lev 4 Row ZZ. Still, I'd be willing to sit there to be part of this crowd, if I didn't already have seats that is.

Interesting that with all the playoff games played at Commonwealth Stadium over the years, only one 50k+ crowd. I guess the weather can be a factor in November.

Final attendance: 54,712

Still a number to be proud of. Good job Lions fans, too bad it was the wrong outcome today.

A good goal to set for next year -- at least one home game that goes over the 40,000 mark for attendance. Doable?
