I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions they would implement to help grow the league. I think the CFL needs to start thinking outside the box a little.

Here is something I would implement right away:

Ticket pricing: The league needs to get fans back in the stands again at all costs. I would drastically reduce ticket prices and create a consistent league wide ticketing price point. General seating prices should be $200, $150, $100, $50, and $20 based on stadium location. Teams can designate which sections and how many seats fall under each category but we need to lower prices, especially for the worst seats in the building. Nosebleeds, endzones, and corner seats should not exceed $20.

It would be better for the league long term to reduce ticket prices and sell out stadiums rather than keep prices high but only have half full stadiums. Full stadiums create atmosphere, which creates excitement, which creates demand. When stadiums sell out they can raise prices, but for now they need to follow the German soccer leagues tactics and reduce prices in order to sell out stadiums.

Teams need to focus on attracting families and younger kids. They are the future season ticket holders so they need to get them hooked when they are young. More family and kid promotions is a must. They should also focus in on high school and university students. They need to make going to the stadium an event and worth everyone's time.
