That Rhein comeback was pretty fun.

Attendance in BC looks like Memphis.

KWABOTY

>>149351358
I think they usually hace around 8-10k attendance not sure tho as those numbers arent released by the League except for tazon

Went to the Elks home opener.

UFL-like attendance.

Tre Ford sucks.

>>149352686
Do they usually sell out the stsdium? Or other teams do som

>>149353420
During pre-Elks years we had attendance on par with the Battlehawks.

After todays games , if Arcangeles beat Osos, a strong team but thats Will likely sit down all their starters, they secure the last seed, if they loose, Dinos gets it

>>149353539
Fuck >we will never recover

Stampeders attendance from today.

Understandable. Weather is pretty rough and parts of southwest Calgary got snow.

>Where are the crowds.

I'll explain this for the Americans on here, it's kinda interesting.

At least in my lifetime (born 1992) we've always had American cable TV channels like Fox, NBC, CNN etc. We can watch NFL games easily and cross-reference how much better NFL players are compared to CFL.

Madden was always sold up here and NCAA football started being sold up here in I think 2004 (the one with Fitzgerald on the cover). Madden is how millennial kids got into football. CFL was absent in it even though NFL Europe teams were featured, and later they did a few Arena Football games for the PS2 only. EA Sports took the initiative to build a CFL game in 2012 and showed it off to the CFL themselves (basically just needing their licensing approval), but CFL front office declined because they were completely out-of-touch boomers.

https://kotaku.com/maddens-developers-built-a-working-canadian-football-ga-5916481

Sports Bars heavily promote NFL sundays. You can walk into either Boston Pizza or 1st Rnd here and there's NFL stuff on the walls. There is basically no promotion of CFL games.

Everyone under the age of 40 here now holds an unchangeable opinion that CFL is completely irrelevant and full of nobodies. The name change killed all support here in Edmonton, other teams are dwarfed by bigger franchises (Vancouver Canucks, Toronto Maple Leafs/Blue Jays). Saskatchewan and Winnipeg are the only profitable teams.

Arcangeles did It, they play against the mexicas that just lost their starting QB so they have a good chance at going to the owl which Will be held in their city

>>149381057
The Final is the 12th right?

>>149381106
Yes

UFL cleaning house on a lot of their full time positions. Fired the local business heads for Houston, Arlington, and Birmingham. So for all of reddits "They don't care about attendance" it seems pretty clear they do.

>>149383619
As they should, even if ticket sales money Is not the main income empty stadiums look bad on TV , you need that enviornment to have an attractive TV product

>>149383619
More ufl news, players that have been with a team for 2 years are now open to "free agency". Biggest name I expect to be on the move is Corral.

Eskimos name is officially coming back.

Team applied for the trademark back in March.

good to see you again LFAanon. i'll try to bump your thread when i can

It's harder to keep it alive because of the soccer fans.

>>149425470
Also UFL pulled a lot of people, we have the semis on the fifth so for now we should focus on ELF

>>149425470
is there a big thing happening in international soccer atm? i don’t really keep up with soccer

>>149428881
Kind of, it's mostly brazillians screeching and europeans complaining.
>>149427702
Also some CFL tonight, might as well shitpost about it in the general.

>>149428881
it's the newly expanded Club World Cup. And yes it's mostly Argies, Hues and Euros shit posting.

Only Winnipeg and Saskatchewan are profitable CFL teams now.

>>149431928
This also introduces a fun new component into the Elks rebrand.

The Elks rebrand wasn’t just cringe, it was financial suicide. They went from a top-tier CFL franchise to playing in front of 4,000 people in a 60,000-seat stadium because some Inuit lobbyist and one irrelevant sponsor cried on CBC in 2019.

Now it turns out the team just re-filed the trademark for “Edmonton Eskimos” in March 2025. Meaning they know the rebrand failed and are quietly locking down the old name again.

If they keep sticking with "Elks" while attendance tanks and fans rage in the comments every week, that’s not just cope — it’s a legit violation of fiduciary duty. You can’t run a business into the ground to save face over a Twitter moral panic from 5 years ago.

>>149431928
When did the other teams stop being profitable?

>>149433083
Roughly 40 years ago.

>>149433179
Sheeeiiiit

>>149433083
They literally had to use US expansion to keep the league afloat in the 90s. The US teams paying expansion fees gave the rest of the league a financial boost.

>>149435183
RIP Baltimore Stallions

>>149435318
Still won the Grey Cup more recently than a Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup.

>>149428881
Club world cup ive heard more about empty stadiums because of ICE fears/retarded organization (yeah Lets play the peruvian literal whos vs Saudi retirement age mercs in Atlanta during a wednesday noon and expect people to show up) than about the actual tournament

This will probably be a booty blasting but go Edmonton.

Heh....my boy tre-lingz.....he just needs more time

Is this sport just an excuse for Mexico to import BBCs or something?

>>149442055
Almost all their players are natives.

It's not the same without UFL

Bravos 57-0 some kraut gayniggers

>>149467323
They've gone from winning the Grey Cup just a season ago to being a complete mess of a team (currently 0-3).

Any Mexican handegg today? Or just north of the border? I see Madrid fucking BOOTY BLASTED Hamburg, to the point of Sinnett having more TDs than incompletions.

>>149475322
No, semis are the fifth, they all got byes to revolver from injuries, plan the game ahead and all that

>>149473484
I meant like did they lose key players, staff, etc.

>>149464302
And now Chad Kelly ruled out into week 7. REDBLACKS don't even need Dru Brown to put belt to ass tonight

>vikings-raiders

>>149499227
why are almost all the games blowouts? too many teams but not enough talent and competent coaches to go around?

>>149500185
I'd guess so.
But these two teams were usually neck and neck. No idea why the Raiders are so far behind now.

>>149484408
>I meant like did they lose key players, staff, etc.
They're was a good deal of shifting that took place on defence in the offseason and Chad Kelly has been out with injury, so that has really impacted things.

OH NO NO NO NO NO

apparently american audiences can watch this CFL game on CBSSN

>>149512774
CBS Sports Network has most CFL games. It's not 1:1, but that's where you're gonna see it if you want to watch.

>>149512827
interesting. i might try watching some while i wait for cfb/nfl to restart. which team is this year's designated comedy relief team?

>>149513003
Edmonton seems to have the most >high melanin QB moments.

Imagine letting a fatass lineman spin on you like that.

Why is Crum still out there? Is the backup really that bad?

Is Lansdowne Park on a fucking Indian burial ground?? What the fuck is this game I'm watching?

>>149513711
There's 2 other guys. Tyrie Adams had a good preseason game but tore a ligament or something and now we can't use him. Schiltz was number 2 but threw a billion picks right into the defensive line in week 2 and presumably was put behind Crum in the depth chart.

Why are these cunts talking about this overrated punter? Why does anybody like him?

What a fucking moron. Stopped to let the dude sack him.

>>149512827
Good to know

why is the east division so shit this year?
>1 team above .500

Wasnt the play desde when the ball landed in the end zone

>>149530827
Guelph endzone looks so sexy. Ottawa should copy the red and black checkerboard.

>>149530827
Damn that's gotta suck. Was this a game decider?

>>149532559
Im not familiar with all the CFL rules. I know the reffies reviewed this play but I dunno what exactly they were reviewing.

>>149537993
nah this kick happened during the 2nd quarter of the 2013 playoff game between the Alouettes and Tiger-Cats

Here's some Arena highlights for the fellas
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEOd0fDPU94

>>149532559
Nope. A ball kicked into the endzone is always live in Canada. A ball that is kicked into the endzone must be recovered and returned out or a rouge is recorded. What complicates this is the ball immediately bouncing back out, being touched by an Alouette, bouncing back in, recovered by a Tigercat, and then a tackle being made. Could be a rouge or a safety idk the exact rule here but my guess is safety.

>>149539218
I was wrong. I went back and watched the play the final ruling was
>no yards against montreal (declined by hamilton)
>rouge, +1 point montreal

>>149539318
Intresting thanks Canada bro

>>149548102
Based but go Ravens. It's probably going to be a bloodbath. How much?

>>149522027
I basically choose which Canadian city I hate the least between the two. It's usually colored by hockey experiences or personal feelings. Fuck Winnipeg, fuck Toronto, and FUCK Montreal.

There was a press conference earlier today about tazón , gave the events calendar for the owl weekend, open door practices and media day on friday, fan zone starts at 2 PM, 300 soldiers + an army marching band to deploy the giant flag and jets flying over the stadium, "surprise performer" for half Time

I'm taking VIP tickets this time kinda as a birthday gift to my wife. They offer food and merchandising so they might end up being worth it, they looked comfy ngl

Absolute kek, ill admit that LFA officiating can be subpar at times but this was clearly not the case, also if the League was to rig a game It would have been Arcángeles as having the local team in the owl Is a good thing for tickets sales, also caudillos fans are known to be the most hardcore and they always travel in big numbers certainly they would have sold More tickets than Osos
