@ slodrive /
I think I was clear and generous about the attendance figures. I was just putting things in an historical scope; it's clear that attendance has slumped, though not to historic lows.What I questioned was the assertion that "this is a 130 year old institution that brings upwards of 28,000 into the lower city 10 times a year." In fact, this is a 141-year-old institution that brought upwards of 28,000 into the lower city 12 times since the 2003 season began. Via Wikipedia:
Sept 6, 2004: 29,170 vs. Toronto Argonauts
Oct 15, 2004: 29,220 vs. Ottawa Renegades
July 2, 2005: 29,032 vs. Saskatchewan Roughriders
Aug 6, 2005: 28,822 vs. Ottawa Renegades
Sept 5, 2005: 29,600 vs. Toronto Argonauts
Aug 12, 2006: 29,010 vs. Toronto Argonauts
Sept 1, 2006: 28,891 vs. Toronto Argonauts
July 7, 2007: 28,198 vs. Toronto Argonauts
Sept 3, 2008: 28,644 vs. Toronto Argonauts
Sept 1, 2008, 25,911 vs. Toronto Argonauts
Sept 7, 2009: 30,293 vs. Toronto Argonauts
Sept 6, 2010: 30,319 vs. Toronto Argonauts
Hypothetical: If HECFI brings half as many downtown twice as often, should the city build a replacement for Copps?
