lions pick their dates first. whitecaps have no impact on the lions, they have to pick their dates around the lions. lions have priority on everything from seat colours to who got the first home game.B.C.FAN wrote:The Whitecaps have a home game tonight (Saturday) so Thursday was probably the only available date for B.C. Place this week. In fact, the Whitecaps have four home games in 11 days, including two straight Saturdays, and a road game on the following Saturday, July 23, which I believe will also be televised on TSN1.That's part of the reason that the Lions will go five weeks between home games.Qman wrote:I would like to point out that TSN is showing showing sweet F*** all right now at 4pm on saturday.
We could have had 20,000+ plus and 800,000+ on TV right now vs the argonauts
looking at the CFL schedule, this game was on a thurs because Toronto has to play their next home game next wednesday due to Molson Indy Weekend in Toronto.
we have 3 road games and a bye between home games because skulsky wants it that way. so they can have 5 fall games.
Ironically, the eskimos want the opposite schedule from the lions. Esks have 6 in summer and 3 in fall. I assume this happened after they didn't get their way in moving the schedule moved back.
