A couple of years ago, with the entire world still going through the COVID-19 pandemic, professional sports franchises in B.C. seemed to be struggling.
A lot has changed since 2021. Fans are back inside stadiums and arenas, and there is renewed energy for two professional franchises. The BC Lions have been under new management since August 2021, and have won seven of their first nine games in the current CFL season. The Vancouver Whitecaps welcomed two Mexican teams to BC Place as part of the North American Leagues Cup and are hoping to improve on their average game attendance in 2022 .
The CFL has had a complicated time selling the game to younger Canadians in this century, partially due to the increased presence of the National Football League on Canada-wide television broadcasts. A winning team on the field is certainly helping generate more fan interest locally than in 2021.
