Many leagues are starting to use tickets distributed to mask attendance woes.
Just realized this is a stadium thread. Might be better to move the conversation over to the attendance/ratings thread for cleanliness.

In Edmontons case their in game attendance is directly correlated to their piss poor performance not just as a team, but more so their lack of ability to even get a win at home for over 3 years. When they put good teams on the field they get some of the best support in the league. Same can almost be said about the Riders, but at least they can get some wins on their home field… this is something that exists in all leagues.
Likewise, BC’s uptick in attendance is directly correlated to their performance on the field, the star quarterback they have, and new ownership who cares.
Stamps decline in attendance is in my opinion that CSEC is taking on the MLSE playbook, where they really just don’t care. Also McMahon is way long past overdue.
