How do the hashmarks being moved in promote offence?

They didn't explain it well on TSN.

Great drive capped off with a Carey 2 yard TD plunge.

Apparently the idea is that the far side of the feild becomes too far away, so the receiver on that side is out of the play.

I don’t know if it matters at all.

It's early, but Bo definitely has some good zip on the ball thus far tonight.

It appeared to be a light in front of them. A green screen on a monitor in front of them?

Yeah, the players know when it's bad as Wiggan was signaling to the Als trainers.

The answer to me with CFL attendance is to lower ticket prices to where every game is sold out. If it’s $5 a ticket, so be it. Build a family friendly, exciting event with a full house every game. Build up that audience and adjust prices up over a few years.

The Stampeders every year see their attendance decline and at this point it’s just a vicious cycle. I watch on tv and I don’t feel the excitement in the crowd to make me want to go to a game, people in the stands aren’t getting that atmosphere and are less likely to return, especially as prices go up every year.

Take a few years at a loss (and potentially a big loss) to get the buzz going again. It’s not rocket surgery. Same old same old isn’t working here.

Pricing is pretty low already.
What they should do is give out free tickets to every single kid in Grades 3 to 9. You force the parents to go! lol
