Preliminary match of BC Lion Vs Edmonton Eskimos before Grey Cup's Main event

On Saturday morning of last week; there were over 100 different countries competing at the Taekwondo World Jr. Championship and I heard non-stop cheering by the athlete's teammates/coach between 5 simultaneous matches.
By late afternoon (5 PM), most of the participating countries who didn't make it into the semi-finals left. Leaving the remaining country's fan/teams, staff/volunteer/officials and spectators (ticket patron) to stay, cheer & clap which amounts to an incomparable small fraction of what I witness in the morning.
What I am saying is:
To Michael Copeland,
Please *(consider) add(ing) a preliminary match between "BC Lions" and last year's Grey cup champion "Edmonton Eskimos". Fans would appreciate the opening act before the featured presentation of Stampeders & Redblacks; Yes it's okay to classify this as a supporting act to CFL's Grey cup which many would enjoy (#BattleForTheBronze).
To Festival Directors, Corporate Sponsors & fan service manager 'Arlene':
There are many incentives in there being additional match during the 6 days festival prior to the main tournaments. (Pre-)ticket sale & interest can raise when fans know their team(s) will be playing in the Grey Cup to plan their pilgrimage early and without having to decide only after last Sunday's result. Reducing ticket price is a great & final ace in the hole attempt at secure a sellout to fill the stadium but ~adding more flexibility~ for the attendee saves them far more and most importantly "enables people an extra opportunity to be part of Grey cup's game...".
To city committee council members, benefactor and media outlets:
It's important to gather the data of hotel cancellations and of flights to Toronto made between November 20-25th for evaluation purpose then reassess rather the risk compare to the positive impact to your province is worth it. Can you make the formation of 'bronze cup' which can be hosted on a different day (ie. Friday or Saturday) happen?
With the right marketing, the total attendee & returning attendee between two games during the festival has the potential of exceeding the maximum capacity of 1 day's game, or help secure the ticket sale (without reducing ticket value) & boost additional media coverage prior to the finale. Undeniable truth is that [Ice] Hockey Basketball and Soccer has more presence than Rugby (in Toronto), especially in terms of numbers of younger children taking the first steps to 'Play' them with friends on their free time & without the requirement of supervision [Ground Hockey].
To me myself and other Fans
We, I honestly just want to see more games played by the team I am cheering for there. Thank You for your time in taking any action(s) to help fulfill this eleventh-hour request appeal.

Would you like a "Bronze Medal" match be added to Grey Cup 2016 & in the future too?
(The teams that didn't win at the semi-finals can play against each other during the Grey Cup. This is if facility allows and as an opening act to the Grey Cup Championship.)
