Maybe they should try that in Toronto (play at a university stadium) looks better for the CFL showing fans in the stands

That should be a penalty against Stanback. If you loose your helmet tou need to stop running.

Although even if you get Victoria people excited enough to want to come to mainland games, it's a very difficult trek.  Not something the average fan would want to do every other week all season.

That's pretty good

They didn't go over the cap signing Rourke. They signed him for 250k and released their other QB.

Dolegala was maybe $110k.  Probably $70k already paid out.  So they save $40k cutting him.  Might as well be $0.

So Rourke instantly puts them $200k (rounding for brevity) over.  Betts another $150k.  $350k over.

I'm not sure why some people are unable to see down the road (or admit) to when CFL announces the  overages how BC will be over by 4X+ any other team has ever done before.  I would bet Walby burgers on this.  If you think BC will just go over by the "regular" $100k, I really don't know what to tell you.

Weak block attempt by Macinnes by the goal.

Lions have a special ticket offer for fans on Van island for some games in Vancouver...

And the ticket gets you from ferry to stadium and back. So they are building their fan base with this game.

There are a lot of Prairie cfl fans on the island. My bro in law from Regina has been to two games v riders in vancouver

This can be easily proven by the fact that three teams went over the cap last year. Why would any team choose to pay fines last year when they could have just paid more of the contract as marketing money instead?

Because no one else thought of cheating in this manner until Doman came along?

I'm not saying the "loophole" is real or not, just saying if it is, he could simply be the first to a) figure it out and b) be such a douche to ruin the CFL by using it.

Marketing - owner can afford to lose some money to get exposure across other markets in BC.  if he is in for the long haul in BC it might make sense to do things like this to build relevance and get people talking about the team.  Could see them doing something in the Kelowna area some day. 

Pretty small stadium- did they announce the attendance?
