I'm a Red Blacks fan... But you are comparing a freakin SEMI Final, to the Grey Cup Finals.

Toronto FC, despite their on-field failures, has for all intensive purposes bailed out the Argos. TFC consistently outdraws the ARgos, and the ticket prices to TFC matches must be 5 times more than the Argos...thats if the Argos aren't giving them away.

In Ottawa, its the CFL team that runs the soccer team. Not the other way around. MLS is simply more relevant than the CFL in Toronto.  CFL has an old fan base too so most will die in 20 years. MLS, its mostly millennials or people in the earlier side of middle aged. 

The Red Blacks also has a young audience so that team is here to stay. Argos...not so much.
