Quote from: Tecno on Today at 02:21:50 AMWell, it all depends on if each game shows a profit or a loss! The "poor" teams, are they losing money for every home game they host (incl reg season)? Is the "poorest" team (TOR? EDM?) running every single game at a loss?
Clearly each stadium will have a break-even crossover point in terms of butts in seats. It shouldn't be hard to run the math.
If so, then every extra playoff game they might host would just cost the team money, assuming they don't get a better-than-normal turnout (which is probably a safe assumption -- why would they, it's like a reg season game if they are 6th place facing the 7th!).
Quote from: Tecno on Today at 01:57:36 AMOf course, and that is most likely. What Daniels might do is make it so we really never have to dress a 7th when he's on AR. Very handy.
Condell is known for his max-pro (6,7,8,9 pass-pro guys). This all gels into that.
No idea what Eli's max ever was but he's listed on cfl.ca at 287 right now. And this jives with the fact that he's always a bit undersized and gets pushed around. I would think/hope that if he's starting C he'll beef up to well above 300.
287 would put him lighter than a couple of the heaviest DT's!!!
Quote from: Sir Blue and Gold on May 04, 2026, 10:39:13 PMCan you explain to me h
How about you explain to me how adding playoff games that never existed before wouldn't earn significant revenue?
Quote from: tlf on May 04, 2026, 02:49:42 PMNo thanks. I cancelled my seasons after a long long time. I do not support this crap. I will go to the odd game but they will not get $2000 off of me this year. Wade voted for this to get money. He likes money. That's his only thing. As a Canadian I expected better from him. But he's about the party and the money, no longer the tradition of the game.Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
I loved the CFL and the 110 yard field and the 3 downs and the long end zones you could make amazing plays in. We have 3 downs for now, but who knows for how long.
That playoff format is a farce. I thought Ambrosie was bad...well he looks good now. Wow. Many cannot afford multiple playoff tickets. Some can, but how many? I guess it's ok for some, but I'm not sure all cities will sell.
Want the next gen of fans to come? Get halftime shows. We have a crappy band playing. BC gets it. We do not.
I'll buy a jersey but that's it for this year, maybe the home opener to see how awful it is. I want to support my team, and I will a bit, but Wade doesn't get my full money this year.
