Its funny because Rider fans like to brag that they fill up half of McMahon, but I've never seen that, its a significant crowd, but its not an overwhelming one.
On top of that the majority of them already live in Calgary so its not like they're forming caravans of schools busses. And its funny because the week before you can see the same fans in the stands wearing Stampeder colors.
As it stands right now, there are a lot of empty seats at mosaic as the current Riders have replaced the F-Troop as the most inept franchise in CFL history winning 6 out of I think the last 35 games. They'll get a boost in the new Stadium, but it won't last forever, Rider fans are having flashbacks to the bad old days where they would avoid games because it was harvest season.
