Remember in 2011 when the Stamps played a preseason game against the Lions in Vancouver the same night that the Canucks were playing the Bruins in the cup finals? There were about three hundred people in the stands.

Better to have a couple games overlap with the nhl playoffs then losing fanbase after week 12.
If you ever get into the nfl you'll know why it's hard to pay attention to the cfl. Don't get me wrong, the cfl is a good league but it's like driving a jaguar then switching to a ferrari. Jaguar's nice when there's no ferrari around.
Move the season up a month or two or make a dome in calgary to keep your fanbase.
