I disagree with the NFL vs CFL argument. I don't think the NFL has anything to do with it.
TV definitely plays a part, and it certainly is nice to be able to watch any game you want at home.

But like a lot of people have said it's about the experience, and I agree with that. A new stadium, or renovated stadium would help out. Lowering ticket prices is a huge factor. I can't believe that nose bleeds are 40 bucks each. A family of four is still shelling out 160 bucks for crappy seats, that's not gonna lure fans in.

Make beer cheap, lower ticket prices, renovate the stadium, and I would bet more people would show up.
