Cody Fajardo is not a good QB, but his O-line is giving him no time to throw the ball.

So what’s the issue with attendance in Calgary? Indifference? Not happy with the team or the product? I don’t think ticket prices have substantially changed, so are there other/better options for your entertainment dollar? Or maybe people pinching pennies a bit more post-Covid and/or due to current inflationary pressures?

I know in prior years I’d see a totally bizarre cross-section of people in the stands, from obvious fans to random looking people you would never expect to see at a football game.

The Lions might be the best team in the league, if they aren't, they are not very far behind the Bombers.

41 yards for Fajardo. My prediction is bang on so far.

I know you always want to finish as high as you can but it wouldn't hurt my feelings if the Stamps ended up in the cross over game. Just hate going on the road for the playoffs.

Franchise QB who can't complete passes over 20 yards. Terrible play calling by Dickenson. Defence who can't stand up during closing drives of the game.

Holy crap these search lights are really obnoxious at the stadium. Are they looking for criminals who wandered into the stadium after stealing a tractor?

Awful game day experience, bad stadium, zero marketing.

The only two teams drawing better than Calgary are Saskatchewan and Winnipeg.

I think it's a combination of the league being less popular and summer vacation.

BC might not be the best team in the league, but they are the most fun to watch.

Yeah they are the best team in the league and they are the most fun to watch.

This is like watching Canadian Doug Flutie!

I think the Stamps try too hard to play a low risk, boring style of play. Couple that with inconsistent results, a terrible stadium, and people don't see the value proposition for the prices they're charging.
