What about the fact that this is the first big event anyone can attend in over 16 months? There's going to be people not normally attending Bomber games showing up for that.
Yes, if they generate buzz and get the non-football crowd to go out just to get out of the house, then they will do well. That would be very good for WFC. The question is are they getting that non-footballer buzz?
I should have added that there's another demo that won't go: the "covid-scared". I know a few people who are 2x vax and don't want to leave their house except to pick up groceries. I find it extremely odd, but they do exist (and not old people either!).
How many seats sold are to STHs who aren't 2x vax? I know 2 STHs that will not get the vax, and Goldie if/when he gets the vax (due to health reasons) it won't be in time. Are they accommodating those people (refunds, etc)? Boy that would suck if you had worked up over 2 decades to get front row C field and don't want the vax and you lose your seats and can't regain them when all this nonsense is over.
My lord like
might be Grey Cup like line ups to enter a game!

Funny thing was when I was at the '19 GC game in CGY there was zero line 1hr before the game at my gate and the bag/body checkers just waved me in. Maybe it's because I had a little kid with me, maybe CGY is just a relaxed place. IGF is never that lenient.
