There was an obvious thirst for sports, and the television was the piece of technology best equipped to quench that thirst -- and to provide advertising space along with it (MBC 2010). It has even been suggested that without the decision to broadcast sports on television, the medium would have had a much slower and uncertain beginning, and radio would have remained more popular (MBC 2010).
From the trajectory of the events listed here, it might seem as though the invention of the Internet would have to come next. This was not really a major step in the development of sports marketing, however; it altered the method of delivery but provides largely the same content as television. Instead, the general trend in the 1980s and 1990s that made athletes not only well-known figures in their fields, but celebrities and product endorsers, was a hugely important moment in the world of sports marketing. Technically, this type of activity began in the 1920s with Babe Ruth, but it didn't really catch on in a broad manner at this time (OA 2010).

The Canadian dollar currently trades around $0.95 U.S. dollars, but this has fluctuated significantly in recent years. Should the Canadian dollar drop to the $0.80 or $0.85, the team still needs revenues sufficient to cover players' salaries and other U.S.-denominated expenses. The price point is lower than that of the BC Lions, which reflects that the club wishes to have strong attendance and be competitively priced against their main
