Losing Costs money

as we all know the Eskimos are in the middle of a very untimely losing streak. Now making the playoffs is not their only worry. The attendance for an Eskimo home game is usually a little more than 30 000 people; but their last home game brought in a crowd of 17 000. this event has occurred for a number of reasons: their poor effort in recent games, and the cold weather. The huge drop in attendance for the last game has cost the football club over 100 000 dollars. In CFL terms that's almost three players yearly salaries. With only nine home games a year, this just goes to show how important winning is; not only to the fans, but to overall ticket sales.
