I also wonder if games are really affordable for families? Especially if you want to hit up the concessions. I don't drink but is it safe to stay at beer is over $10, a bottle of water is $5, pop is over $5. That really starts to add up, particularly in this economy.

I'm taking my parents to a Stamps game (Oct 29 vs the Riders). When I went over the home games with them months ago the discussion for yesterday's game was "Toronto is pretty bad. I'd rather go see the Stamps play the Lions or the Riders."
There was also some sticker shock at the ticket prices, even for the Argos game. We thought maybe we could get a deal on the Argos game for the same reason as above but they aren't trying very hard to fill those seats. If they want to sell out the stadium, they need to cut ticket prices in half. And no, I'm not sticking my parents on the end zone in bench seats for 3 hours with who knows what weather - you can't predict that it would be nice and warm back in June.
