Amongst the World's different pro leagues, the CFL rank well down there. having said that it doesn't matter as it is our league.
That's not...........???
That's not fair and YOU are taking everything out of context..........we were comparing Eskimos ticket prices to Oilers prices and someone mentioned the Oil Kings.

Does anybody know where Chris Schultz is? I haven't seen him on the panel for a while and his chair is empty. I can't find anything online about him either.

A few games they've been doing this now.
Esks are devastated by injuries to key players yet they won't stop talking about the guys missing for the other team.

So I missed the full review, but man that one play looked close as hell to a lateral live, was it actually or did they screw up?
Also, TBH, i think that the Lions should have been awarded that one PI after the one awarded to the Esks on the scoring play... or they shouldn't have awarded us one.

I'm surprised he didn't get injured on the play considering how our season has gone so far.
We deserve some good karma in other places, because it certainly isn't going towards staying healthy.
The irony is that this game would have been a LOT closer if Whyte was actually healthy. Take two TDs off the board and make them FGs instead and it's a lot closer in the end.

Never in my life do I recall a rash of injuries like this before it's even August. Maas and the coaching staff deserve a lot of credit for having new personnel prepared to step in time and again.
Did Whyte's injury look bad? I was at the game and didn't notice he was out until King and Odell were doing kickoffs. Was trying to figure out what compelled them to go for it on 3rd and 14.

Ticket prices are determined by supply and demand. The Oilers can get away with sky high ticket prices because that's what the public is willing to pay at this time. Until the building stops selling out, they'll continue to increase them.
The Eskimos pricing structure is such that they'll draw around 30,000 which is barely more than 50% of capacity. Huge supply, little demand at the current price point. Multiple people in this thread alone have stated they would go to more games if prices were lower.
It makes sense. Why pay $50 for a ticket at the top of the upper deck when there will be many rows of empty seats up there? Shouldn't the team just accept what you are actually willing to pay (say, $20 and whatever you will spend on food and beer), as opposed to getting $0 across the board? Right now, the Eskimos seem content with that $0, which can't possibly be a good business move. Younger people that are able to go to games because it's affordable eventually become season ticket holders when they're older. I'm an example of this. I could never have afforded $50 for a ticket as a teenager. But I could afford $10-15 and went to many games. Now I am older and have more money, so I have season tickets. Is the generation behind me going to have the same experience? Given how few under-30 fans I see at the game, it appears not.
Apparently Whyte suffered a hip flexor last night. Can take anywhere from 1-8 weeks to heal.
There are all..................?
There are all kinds of reasons by the Oilers are more popular than the Eskimos.
Yours is one of them..........but it is not just pricing.............a few off the top of my head...........a summer sport versus winter sport...........more things to do in the summer time.........less things to do in winter.
The CFL is considered a minor league compared to the NFL..........is another reason why people don't go to games.
The NHL.....we are competing with the New York, Toronto, LA, Chicago......all the bigger cities.
The gambling aspect.........I have friends who love to bet NHL, NFL but would not touch any CFL games.
The grass roots of each game.......most of us has played minor hockey in our school years......not many of us has played football (size, too violent).
