I was in Vancouver over the weekend. Watched the Lions game on TSN near downtown Vancouver. I was a first time visitor since early 2000. New stadium looks cool. Wish you should have built a new outdoor stadium but oh well. I heard clearly as I live in the U.S that attendance was a bit crappy and media cov'g has turned on the team for whatever reason.
Now unless it was even better before I was so surprised how popular and how much the Lions are involved in the city and province. I was at a Canucks game and ppl were talking about the Lions and their playoff chances.
I got free newspaper and even today you go online to read the Province or the Sun which I take are your 2 big newspapers. The Lions are dominating talk. Turn on the CBC and CTV local news and its Lions leading off the sports just like the 2 big NFL and NHL teams in my city would be. Turn on the radio you have TSN radio which must be new and its all Canucks and Lions talk.
Is this due to Wally being back and a great exciting QB?
There must be a reason why attendance isn't like sold out but I was pleasantly surprised of how great Vancouver is as a sports city. I'm not a Canucks fan but I have been watching the CFL for quite some time as a former canadian and the Lions since the mid '90s have always been my fave CFL team.
Good luck in the playoffs
