What do they think a watch party is? Our biggest sport is hockey and our premier NHL teams don't even charge to enter a watch party, lol. They could have made a crap tone of money off liquor sales AND had a huge point of pride in the CPL on TV with a few hundred showing up to be part of it and watch on screen. But have fun with the dozen or so willing to pay that over just going to a pub.

I like Tommy and the players, it’s just unfortunate that this team’s management continue to take their fans for granted. It feels like every season they have done something tacky in an attempt to turn a quick profit…
Last year I wasn’t even upset about the game in Victoria, I totally understood why it wasn’t feasible to play it at Spruce Meadows, but instead of making an affordable “close to cost” get away package to get their fans in the stadium, they went and charged a 250% markup from what it would have been to book it yourself through Expedia.
But $40 to stand in the cold November air to watch a screen is absolutely insane. Even the Oiler watch parties in Edmonton were $10 with the proceeds going to charity.
They keep striking out on literally the easiest lobbed softballs.
