Without TSN pumping the faux patriotism down our throats, the teams would be playing in half empty stadiums.... which most teams already do. I would argue there is now more NFL fans in Canada than CFL fans. I find it intersting that the biggest revenue generating event in the history of McMahon.... was a Flames game.

The Stamps can play in that rotting husk for 50 more years for all I care. I understand the CFL is important to some, but they aren't even on the radar in comparison to what the Flames and NHL mean to this city. The number one priority is to secure the Flames future. And if that means 9 less, not even div 2 college calibre football games? So be it. There are probably 10 cities in the US that would take the Flames. There might be 2 or 3 cities in Canada that would even be remotely interested in the Stamps, and if that happened, you could get a CFL team back in a matter of a couple years.

Ask Quebec and Winnipeg how easy it was to get their NHL teams back.

Pylon you hate the CFL. I'm not wasting my time arguing this with you.
