Would you say the Jays play on a baseball pitch? Or the broncos play on a football pitch? Why do MLS fans strive to be so European? Why not come up with North American values and traditions. You people are stalkers. That's what I love about the CFL it's purley Canadian, it's not some watered down NFL wannabe.

Gridiron football is an evolution of "rugby football" (its original name) which has a tradition centuries old. No need to be hypocritical, if it were truly North American it wouldn't be called "football" but rather "egg ball", "Huron ball" or "pointy ball". If you can say football, we can say pitch.
