I don't really think that the lockout and CFL are correlated. That's just from the experience within my group of buddies....all die-hard hockey fans, and almost everyone of them don't really care about the CFL....and that's not changing anytime soon.

I'm suprised they dont sell out these games, its too bad, i guess its not much of a luxury anymore, its too bad.

I don't think the lockout will have any affect on the crowd. What will have an affect will be the weather on the days leading up to the game and on game day.

Nope. The weather looks like it will take a turn on Saturday and all the fair weather fans will stay home and watch it on the tube.

Thats the biggest reason why attendance will not be that high. Also it's only the Semi-final which means that most of the bandwagon jumppers will stay at home and watch it as well.

Why. It is the opinion of some people here in Edmonton that it’s not worth going to a playoff game unless it’s the final. Bunch of crap if you ask me.
