Final home games

[Sec223]

The Rider game will be another sell out but the other two games need help. Lots of seats left for the Elk and an ocean for BC. Although he's hurt and Toronto didn't play a game here this year AH would have sold a "boat" load of tickets Anyone else hate the scheduling this year ?

Those will be tough games edmonton and bc. Both will be good. I prefer western teams . its better because usually it affects the standings more . bc will be tough.  Winnipeg is alot better than we have shown. We havent had alot of our players play together all year. I hope they get back and we also pick up sone good back up players on defensive line and offensive line.

The BC game will depend on what hangs in the balance, if anything, when we get there. Could be a cold evening too which won't help walk up.

BC game could have a large meaning towards the final standings for Winnipeg. If we lose the 2nd last game in Vancouver, the series will be decided at home. I'd prefer to have 1st place locked up before that so we can rest some players.

It?s been a wildly successful season for ticket sales.

Lower attendance when the weather changes and the games are relatively meaningless won?t hurt much. We?ll have another sell out game for the West Final.

Bombers gonna make bank this year.

For sure. They turned a nice profit even last year! I think they could see easily a 25-30% up tick this year as compared to last year. I would be nice if that could mean more ST holder bonus stuff. The rings from last were amazing! Maybe drink specials for season ticket holders? Or ST holder exclusive player autograph access. Or feel free to add mention things the club can do for ST holders to say thank you! I am disappointed I missed the fan day autograph opportunity after  the BB as I had to go straight to Saskatoon that day.

Scheduling this year left some question marks.  While the late bye weeks help us now to heal going down the stretch, lots of interesting decisions on the schedule like every year.
If we ever get another east team, that will help with a balanced schedule and I am sure there are many requests or limitations that we dont know about.
Keep the traditional games for sure, there should always be a grey cup rematch to start the year, even out the bye weeks....just a few thoughts.

And start the season a month earlier!!!
Grey cup no later than first weekend in November!  That is an easy call.

Harris injured for a few games now so who knows if he would even show up.

I'd be OK with having the Grey Cup on the 1st Sunday in Nov. Id actually prefer the 2nd weekend but then there would be conflicts with Remembrance Day.

If they ever add a 10th team they can eliminate a bye week so you wouldn't need to start the season a month earlier.

I thought so. Gave it to them again as could not hold full grey cup festival last year due to Covid. Maybe time for Winnipeg to host again after that.

I think the CFLPA (and the league) wanted that 3rd bye on purpose.  Player health/safety.  I think it's working out pretty well and I like the timing of our 2 late-season byes this year.
