I don't know why TSN seems to get suck love on CP. They have an hour long Sports Centre and they approach it like 2 concurrent 1/2 hour shows with pretty short highlights. Use the full hour, show one full highlight package (instead of 2 abbreviated ones) and then I'll make a point to watch instead of just watching every so often and getting annoyed.
Back to the Jays, I think it will take a while for the fans to come out in big numbers. 80 games x 40,000 is a lot of people and the fans there are just like on here - they have seen too many seasons that get hopes up only to be disappointed. When they start to believe the team has a real shot then they will fill the place again.
Edit: Just noticed a G&M article about attendance at the game yesterday.
Quote:
The Toronto Blue Jays were expecting, at best, a crowd of just over 30,000 for last night's game between the Jays and the New York Yankees.
So when 43,737 poured through the gates at Rogers Centre – the second largest gathering of the year outside of opening day – to witness Roy Halladay battle A.J. Burnett, there was elation in the front office.
Jason Diplock, the Jays vice-president of ticket sales and service, said this morning that there were about 13,000 walk-up sales on the day of the game, an event he said has been unheard of dating back to the World Series days of the early 1990's.
