Thoughts on the 2015 Ticats Schedule: Sucky

I knew with the Pan Am games that there were going to be some issues with the Ticats this year. But I didn't think it would be as bad as last year. And maybe worse.

The fact the first regular season home game isn't until August, namely on the Civic holiday is crazy. That's a tough start to the season in a league that historically has been quite biased towards the home team. There's actually four home games in August. That's not going to be an easy sell ticket-wise.

The rest of the season isn't so bad. The Cats do get two home games against the Argos, which is nice.

The pre-season home game is also quite early taking place on June 8th. More weirdly, that's a Monday. Not great.

A lot of this stems from the fact that the league is unbalanced with nine teams. Adding a tenth team to the East would make schedule making a lot better.
