Just came back from dinner with Bob Young. The "Red Hat" and "Lulu" guy and owner of the Hamilton Ti-Cats.
Funny guy and pretty down to earth for someone worth $4billion and scares Bill Gates.
:P

It apparantly boils down to making the customer happy.
Listening Ford?
Yes he did things like new electronic bill boards but the biggest physical change was flowers in the womens washroom. Women buy (on behalf of their families) more than 60% of tickets.
The team itself has the same win/loss average as it did before he took over. The year it won the Grey Cup they were one third capacity on average for the season. They have filled 98% of the seats since he's owned it.
What is interesting is he says when you survey people they tend to lie to you. When asked "why don't you go to Ti-Cats games?" the question was:
a ) usually asked of men 18-35
b ) the answer was they T-Cats tend to loose
As we deep down know a "good" experience at the game whether the home team wins or loses is what counts.
He's a smart guy.
