I say this as a long time season ticket holder who was in attendance for all but one of the games listed in the OP, but:
CFL isn't 'Big League' enough to generate enough buzz outside a hardcore group of ~25,000 fans to regularily sell out in a city like Calgary anymore. It happened in Toronto, BC, and Montreal, before us. Once a city gets to a certain size there's a perception that only the top teir professional sports will do for the scenesters and casual fans. A new stadium like Winnipeg's would change this probably for 10 years, but after that it will be the same old core 25,000 who buy tickets.
