I agree with you and Cecil about the CFL getting a bad rap. It has to be said though that hype matters as to how people percieve a live sporting event. The same people who can watch a 6-3 NFL snoozer and be engaged but can't bother to watch the CFL are the same people who refused to go to Flames games prior to '03-04 and all of a sudden post lockout have tickets to every game. If a team is the 'in' thing in town it seems that the on-field product is secondary for a lot of people.
