Also - only 25k at the game? Maybe esquire has an answer?

Thursday night game vs. Friday night game. That's your answer. Hard for many to get home from work and then to the stadium in time for kickoff.
25,000 is about right....might be a 1000 or so no-shows, but remember there are usually a few thousand people milling around on the concourses at any one time. Remember it seats 32,500 and they are all individual seats...not like benches that people can spread out on to make the crowd seem larger than it actually is.
As for "blown call" it may have been a little ticky-tack, but
a) it was only like 20 feet or so from the play, not like it was on the other side of the field.
b) you can't push a player from behind...when will players learn this. Bomber player was pushed from behind. You can't do this!
In the end, the lady ended up receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in (over 500,000?) in cash and prizes. Don't feel too bad for her...especially when the proper call was made as it states in the rule book.
Bomber offense left a lot to be desired at times mustering little if anything for nearly half the game. 2nd game in a row for them so that is concerning. Defense came to play though and despite Ray throwing for over 300 yards, they mostly kept the Argos in check with only 3 points in the second half. Full credit for the victory goes to them.
