From Spots Business Journal last summer.
"League-wide ratings in the age 25-54 demographic have “increased by 29 per cent year-over-year through Week 11.” Average game day revenue for the Toronto Argonauts, BC Lions and Montreal Alouettes is “up 26 per cent year-over-year through Week 10.” Viewership for games involving “at least one of these three teams is up 27 per cent in the 25-54 demographic” through Week 11."

The Star claimed 1000, and it was called a "rally", not a parade. Mayor John Tory skipped it in favour of a council meeting.

Geez, when I was a kid we used to go down to CNE stadium and the place was packed. And that was for a losing team.  AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOS!!

Sad story. And curling? I live 500m from a curling rink. Don't see a lot of cars in the parking lot these days.

But Rachel Homan still has beautiful eyes, so there's that.

Guess it'll take more than Lululemon pants to draw a crowd. I enjoy watching curling but ten ends is just a little too much. Games could easily be decided in seven ends.
