Can't wait until Winnipeg gets their new stadium, it's long overdue

If by some chance I took a job in Canada and the town I moved to had a CFL team, I'd follow the team, I'd go to games. It's a fun sport IMO.

I knew that Montreal did lost the ball before catch... SASK WON THE FUCK GREY CUP..FUCK CFL for good for a cheat

@99rojas5: Of course we like it. We've been playing it since the late 1800's.

I've been a huge CFL fan since 2005, it's fun and entertaining and they don't compete against the NFL which is why it's still alive and going

@cfl4evr also in high school every state except florida and arizona and california play state championships in the cold. same goes for conference championships in college. The rewarding games such as bcs bowls in college and the superbowl are played in warmer climates.so its a reward for good teams to play big games in warm weather.

Im not talkin down on cfl players but NONE of them will complain about the cold because they are happy to still be playing for a living.

@cfl4evr im from the great football state of oklahoma.the reasons why green bay and chicago cant host a superbowl is 1.the airports are always frozen over and delays are frequent. The media and sponsors would complain and so would the players and fans with snow and frigid winds blowing.Miami,Phoenix/Glendale­,Pasadena are ideal winter vacation spots in late january early feburary. Therefore they as well as dome teams get to host superbowls.

@cfl4evr : I wish it was played in colder cities, but rather have fans travel to the southern warmer states because most tourism happens down there and the northern states are at their coldest in the January like the blizzard we had in Chicago. NFL also thinks they can generate more money, revenue and fan interest playing in warmer climates. This year Superbowl is actually playing in Indiannapolis but it's in a dome and I never liked dome stadiums with that stupid astro turf!!

[cfl4evr]

@codeking32 So why don't they play the Super Bowl in Green Bay, or Chicago?!?! It would be like old time football, not the sterile plastic domed stadium thing! I wish they still played on real grass too. Actually the CFL allows each league city a chance to bid on the Grey Cup, and it can get a bit chilly out on the prairies at the end of November, but some of the greatest Grey Cup games have been played under less than ideal weather conditions. That's what football is all about, not dollars.
