Grey Cup Glory: The 2021 CFL running thread

I know a number of Bills fans, some with season tickets, some who head to a couple games a year down there. I cannot imagine what a shit show it will be at the border for their next home game on Nov. 21. It's always mobbed on weekends with cross border shoppers and those heading to Orchard Park but it will be a complete gong show trying to get there and back the rest of the season.

 

It’ll be fun the next time Leafs are at LCA
Wings always get a big Windsor crowd for that one

 

It’s not as open as people think. You still have to get PCR test to come back which is about 150 to 200 which makes taking day or overnight trips expensive.

 

JC is right, as long as that's a requirement (and there are rumblings the federal gov't is assessing whether that should still be the case) people will be hesitant to go to Wings, Sabres or Bills games (and the Lions have a pretty good fan base in southwestern Ontario) but there will be that segment that won't give a shit, especially on Black Friday, and that group better have some patience for crazy long lines, especially returning to Canada.

 

Seeing a team dump a bucket of frozen Gatorade on a coach's head would be great TV.

Or maybe not?

Did a Gatorade shower kill George Allen?

 

Great overtime game in Regina in the West semis. Riders hang on as Calgary's kicker misses in the second extra frame.

Hamilton-Toronto. Saskatchewan-Winnipeg.

 

Why does the CFL schedule playoff games on Sunday afternoon. I would think they would get much better ratings for games by scheduling on Saturday and avoiding the NFL.

Also, if the NFL ever decided to plant expansion teams in Toronto and Vancouver or Montreal would htat effectively take the CFL out?

 

I can only speak as a Toronto guy but an NFL team would be a massive success here. There are fans of every team in this area, the Bills have always sold loads of tickets in southern Ontario (even if the Bills in Toronto series was a disaster due to a shitty Bills team and larcenous ticket prices) and the Lions (like the Tigers and Red Wings) have long had a strong fan base in southwestern Ontario that might be tempted to drive to Toronto eight times a year for their own team. But the NFL's public stance has always been they are not interested in impacting the CFL by expanding north.

 

Although making the Dolphins play at Edmonton in December would be AWESOME.
