Great game!! Even though Edmonton didn't win, I think that was their best game in a long time. I'm sure they are frustrated, but after a game like that, I think there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You looked great Edmonton!! 🇨🇦
as a Brazilian fan of the CFL it breaks my heart to see the stadiums mostly empty. games are wildly entertaining and players keep delivering high-level football for no one to watch.
This will be Toronto 4th straight winning season and team average attendance is less than 9-000 Think people in Toronto have made it clear that they don't care about the cfl. I must say Toronto was averaging over 20 000 fans when the team was playing at Rogers center So maybe the Argos should move back to Rogers center they will over 20k fans per game
@@freedom1028 the CFL is very much alive if tv ratings are a metric to go by. the thing is, how do you get people to stop being lazy and go to the stadium? I don't know how it works in Canada, but here in Brazil in order to encourage stadium attendance live broadcast is not allowed in the same city as the home team.
There is road construction which made accessibility to downtown Toronto a nightmare and Google weather was extremely misleading that it said that its going to be extreme rain. That's why many people didnt show up on what ended as a great night.
There's a lot of talk about putting a spring football team in Toronto because of the sparse crowds. I don't know how profitable is would be for Dani and Dwayne, but it's an interesting idea for sure.
Good gracious the crew had a lot of calls/non calls overturned on review. And I saw a few holds that were missed as well. Not a good look for the stripes.
@@teo_heel This is what I don't get. The camera is on the same side as majority of people. It makes it look worse than it is. Not that I'm saying it's good, but the cameras somehow make it look worse.
Yeah, but I've read that before the game there were scares about thunderstorms in the area, so yeah... People might not be interested in coming to the game because of that.
No punt snaps again lol Come on. Julien and Haggerty are two of the best to do it. Haggerty had 2 inside the 10 yard line and all 6 of his punts were over 50 yards and not 1 was highlight worthy? Figure it out.
The CFL and the UFL need to unite if it can work in the NHL why can’t it work for a spring football league keep the field and the ball from the CFL move the uprights to the back of the end zone scrap all the whacky rules in both leagues and play football wider field would make it a field day for running backs and smaller de’s and dt’s
Big drop in attendance from last week. Doesn’t make sense considering how much this was promoted as pride night. Also, without a helicopter, getting there 7pm on a Saturday, far too much work.
@@superafinsno it's because Toronto is filled with immigrants who do not care for Canadian sports. It's also a reason why community sports are dying in Canada
@@superafins I mean, Argos for sure are bad. Elks are bad for obvious reasons, results are not helping at all. Lions had a sellout, Als had a sellout, Winnipeg had two 30000+ games. Saskatchewasn for sure will have more than 30000 fans as well. CFL is doing okay in terms of attendance.
actually drives me nuts how all that good of football Toronto can play almost every second or third season consecutively and just go on to win the east and then the grey cup, then they go dead last for maybe one season in the east. its like there due every 4-5 years min. And yet, none of them torontonians wanna go to these games. Not to mention how hella tight the stadium looks, it seems legit. Am I missing something here? the stadium is new. Why do you neglect a winning franchise? like the most consistent dam team in that province and it looks like dawg shite in the stands? what gives toronto 😒😒, Bless up to the die hards we see showing up though.
Edmonton needs to have another name changes the Elks are winless ---how about the Edmonton Explosion or Edmonton Expanse (for all the open area in Edmonton )
Toronto is such a disappointment. The crowds they get are beyond embarrassing. Long past time to move the team to the maritimes where it’ll be appreciated. Imagine how bad it must be for the Argos players😔
Let me help. There's no stadium or prospective owner in the maritimes, otherwise they would have had an expansion team years ago. There has to be a team in Toronto, or the CFL can't survive. It's the largest market, by far, in Canada. Therefore if they hope to get any kind of decent TV deal, which is the largest percentage of their overall revenues, they have to have a team in Toronto. No matter how bad attendance is, as long as there is a CFL, there will always be a team in Toronto.
@@teo_heel The pass interference on a non-catchable ball, for starters. After that, you can see holding happening on key plays, right in front of the ref. It's an epidemic in CFL and NFL to let certain teams/players succeed. Same as NBA with the travelling.
@@TheHilltopPillbox The pass interference? Yeah, I know what play you're talking about... but I disagree that it was a bad call. Defender just didn't let the receiver a chance to even reach that ball. Holdings... yeah, sometimes it seems that you can do a bit too much and be caught.
Supposed to be a National Broadcast but Notice how the Toronto Homer announcer can't help himself as he tells you how Edmonton benefitted from the PI Call from the Video review to score a TD but never mentioned how Toronto benefitted from the same situation TWICE and scored TWO TDS from those calls... CFL is such low budget and 2nd rate!
TSN's has been using game time to do interviews and special features. Instead of play calls, They are doing this so they can jam in a few more commercials. It sounds so totally unprofessional. That's why you are hearing some nobody calling that Argo touchdown. TSN, this practice sucks.
Time for the CFL to close up shop, the attendance is worse than a UFL game, been to high school games with more people watching; Toronto get your NFL team.
I agree they should just have Canadian teams in the NFL like the MLB, NHL, NBA, and MLS the audience is just not big enough to be their own thing other games do get decent attendance but for some reason toronto always get poor attendance
People should start going out to watch this team. Super entertaining stuff.
And very good atmosphere
Doesn't help that the expressway to get there or anywhere near downtown is a parking lot with ongoing repairs. Who would bother.
American here, I went to their opening game while in Toronto and really had a great time: Good crowd and great competition!
That place should be packed every game you’re not going to get this entertaining of football anywhere
And they do.
Great game!! Even though Edmonton didn't win, I think that was their best game in a long time. I'm sure they are frustrated, but after a game like that, I think there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You looked great Edmonton!! 🇨🇦
Yeah. Much better than last year for sure.
I mean except for the 39 pts they gave up. That's some atrocious defense by both teams.
@@JonAlienAbides Yeah... it was a offensive showcase. :D
@@JonAlienAbidesI don’t look at it that way cause those quarter backs were on target wow what a game

That is one loud cannon
@@chazztreat8317 Very quiet "crowd" eh?

Man Edmonton has been bringing it in 2024 but still can't find the keys to a victory
Mighty fine football happening here. Both QBs are superb. The energy is intense. Yay for CFL teams.
What a game CFL has been amazing this year
both teams played a great game. very entertaining.
That PI being reviewed and overturned into a call is wild. Ticky tack.
Great game, great league. --- Thanks for the amazing upload. ---
Top notch football excitement !
If I lived in Toronto, I'd be at their games!
Man, this was an absolute SLUG FEST of a barn-burner! Gotta say, pretty psyched to see this Double Blue offense humming!
Very impressed with the Argo running game
Toronto having real success with AFL players.. I’m an fan
Good football game, down to the last play. To bad there is barely any fan support.
Very exciting game. The CFL talent has increased dramatically over the past few years. Some of these games are more entertaining than the NFL.
Great win Toronto Argonauts. I’m
Glad for yall.
Disappointed at how sparse the crowd is. The CFL is entertaining.
Driving downtown on a Saturday night can be difficult.
There is road construction which made accessibility to downtown Toronto a nightmare and Google weather was extremely misleading that it said that its going to be extreme rain. That's why many people didnt show up on what ended as a great night.
Crowed was fine.

What an awesome game, Go Argos.
Edmonton is playing well. They're a contender. Be patient Elks fans.
What a game.
Seeing really great recaps!!
The biggest surprise this season is the Elks are 0-3 given the talent they have!
What a cool game. Hell yeah
Always gonna miss those old argos 😢
They need a headliner at halftime like BC did with50 cent.... >50000 sold out
50 Cent wasn't performing at halftime, he performed before the start of the game.
been some great games this weekend. first BC over the W and now this!
Great game!
I think the Phoenix Coyotes had better fan support than the Argos' do.
get a ticket and watch the argos instead of complaining.
@@marlonanand4501Exactly
No lol.
@@marlonanand4501 Maybe he's not from Toronto.
Don’t care what the Elks record is, they are consistently good with positive explosive plays ... but then something happens.
This was a great game very exciting, both teams looked good. Go AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGOOOOOOSSSSSSSSS.
that Toronto run game was very effective
So happy I got into the CFL man I'm sick of the NFL
Man the Torontos oline letting their QB get killed in the pocket 😂😂
CFL > NFL 😎🇨🇦
😂😂😂😂🇺🇸
That's a stretch. I think you meant CFL > UFL
@@JonAlienAbides
I said what I said.
@@JonAlienAbides Nah. No Fun League is overrated. Very overrated. It's all about business, less about fun.
Facts.
First Toronto TD was riddled with holds and clips.

Elks has a good team
What a game it was. Edmonton... please... win a game. Stop making stupid mistakes.
LETS GOOOOOO
How bout them Argos!!!
Est ce que l'accès au stade était fermé?
On dirait que ce l'était 🤣
Where can we watch CFL games in the states?
CBS Sports Network for selected games (search for CFL Broadcast Schedule in 2024 for more info), other games will be available for free on CFL+.
CBS SN on Saturdays and Sundays until September. Games not on CBS SN, it will be on CFL+ for free
I hope all 500 fans in the stadium enjoyed that game.
All 10000 fans? Yeah, they did. The camera stand was almost full.
@@teo_heel This is what I don't get. The camera is on the same side as majority of people. It makes it look worse than it is. Not that I'm saying it's good, but the cameras somehow make it look worse.
@@jeffgreen5429 Yeah... same with Edmonton, btw. The same issue.
Go Eskimos😊😊😊😊
Still butthurt over the name change? Me too buddy me too
Couldn't stop the run what killed Edmonton
dommage pour Edmonton,la première fois qu'il joue très bien;ils méritent de gagner.mais il manque toujours un petit truc. next time .
Toronto Ontario again had a crowd equivalent to a Friday night high school game.
Yeah, but I've read that before the game there were scares about thunderstorms in the area, so yeah... People might not be interested in coming to the game because of that.
No.
No Chad Kelly no problem!!!😊
there are more player and staff on the sidelines then there are fans in the stands
What does that speak to in your opinion?
Because who would actually pay to watch Edmonton?
The game was in Toronto though 🤔@@CheeseEnthusiast617
@@CheeseEnthusiast617 me. If I would've lived in Canada, I for sure would've paid for an Edmonton home game.
@@teo_heel why? Commonwealth is such a sad crowd
First like & comment
Edmontons secondary wouldn’t even hold up in Texas high school football bro it’s pathetic
Pretty sure in the high school game those players would destroy their opponents.
Smelks gonna smelk
No punt snaps again lol
Come on. Julien and Haggerty are two of the best to do it. Haggerty had 2 inside the 10 yard line and all 6 of his punts were over 50 yards and not 1 was highlight worthy?
Figure it out.
The CFL and the UFL need to unite if it can work in the NHL why can’t it work for a spring football league keep the field and the ball from the CFL move the uprights to the back of the end zone scrap all the whacky rules in both leagues and play football wider field would make it a field day for running backs and smaller de’s and dt’s
If they merge. The UFL MUST convert to CFL rules. FULL STOP!
That might be the worst pass interference call I have ever seen
Big drop in attendance from last week. Doesn’t make sense considering how much this was promoted as pride night.

Traffic in Toronto is a nightmare. And apparently people thought the weather was going to be worse than it was.
Wow, look at the empty seats. A day after the Alouettes filled their stadium. Difference?
Probably because of the Leafs, Jays, and Raptors all existing in leagues that are the pinnacle of their sports,
@@JosephRocco-mi4cmnot just that, but CFL attendance is generally pretty low with some notable exceptions.

Or go 16-2 and then lose in the East Final.
Looks like maybe 5000 in attendance
10000 fans... the main stand was almost full, but it was the stand with all the cameras.
More than that.
A half-filled stadium? So sad.
Edmonton needs to have another name changes the Elks are winless ---how about the Edmonton Explosion or Edmonton Expanse (for all the open area in Edmonton )
They won't change a name.
Why is it that most professional sports games are being controlled by referee's 🤔 . Toronto should of been called for interference so many plays.
