For me that simply isn't the case anymore. It's just not good football.
And in Calgary the situation is even worse because I will never pay $ to watch a game in a stadium as bad as McMahon.

It's a lot of this for me. I still watch some games and have some interest. But I have very little interest in actually going to McMahon for the 2nd best football experience in the city (Cavalry ftw!!). It's just a terrible fan experience, from the bad access/parking/getting there right through to the stadium and amenities. The game can be good, but it's just plain not that fun. I almost feel bad saying that. What that means though, is that my kids are also not going to games, and that next generation won't likely be fans either. Pro-sports is a tough enough sell going forward, but the CFL has a major issue coming.
I'm surprised the CFL got through the pandemic, so good for them. But to me, the league would have to make some huge changes to gain relevancy these days.
