Was at BMO for the game last week. Crowd was certainly skewed a bit older than other sports in the area but there were a number of younger families there. Crowd was sparse but those that were at the game were pretty into it. I get a similar vibe at REDBLACKS games but that crowd is certainly more varied in age.

One piece of anecdotal evidence I can provide is that at the same time as the Argos game there was a Kenny Chesney concert going on at the nearby Budweiser Stage. It seemed like the Chesney concert had more people and definitely had a younger crowd...vast majority seemed to be university age which was a demographic mostly absent from the Argos game.
