The largest market is the Golden Horseshoe surrounding the west end of Lake Ontario with 7.7 to 10 to 11 million people depending on where you draw the lines.

There are two CFL teams: Toronto and Hamilton. As a comparison, that combined market has one NHL team and one NBA team, whose salary caps are an order of magnitude higher with far fewer players. They are big money sports.

CFL television contracts are much smaller money and much smaller advertising dollars.

I just did a quick check and Calgary Stampeder single game prices look to be CA$ 25-73 (plus up to 7 for Ticketmaster; you can buy without their fee at a box office I assume).

Our stadiums hold from 20-56,000 people.

The team salary cap is $6,000,000 so with 45 players that's an average $133,333. I'm sure there are players only making $60-70,000 who have regular jobs in the off season. Apparently the very highest paid players are in to $250-600,000 range.
