Renos, and a team rebuild. Hosting a GC when your team sucks takes the wind out of the event's sails. Winnipeg has had the misfortune of hosting two of our four Grey Cups in seasons where the Bombers were atrocious and pretty well out of the running by August long weekend, and it just killed enthusiasm for the whole thing.

Getting the Als back on track should make for a better Grey Cup in 2022 or whenever it happens. But they are certainly due. I guess the only question is whether Braley gets his hands on a game first... there is MLSE too, but I can't imagine the league would want back to back Grey Cups in the GTHA.
