Just keep in mind I have no real opinion on the matter. Pad attendance figures, don't pad them I don't give a crap. Lose our sell out streak at Taylor Field, don't lose it, it doesn't really matter.
Although it did piss me off when Calgary played at home a few weeks ago and they kept referring to the crowd as being "over capacity" even though the stadium wasn't even full. Like I said though, regular capacity is about 35k in Calgary, with temp capacity is about 45k (I think).
So even though the regular stands only had about 33k and the temp had about 3-5k of their 10k or so capacity the CFL still sees it as 37-8k people in a 35k "regular" capacity stadium, they considered it over capacity because they viewed it as 38k there/35k available. Even though the real numbers for that game were 38k there/45k available.
When I say "they", I mean TSN kept saying that and it was annoying.
