Edmonton owned by MTL and maybe a good mid-season grounding for this team.

Going to see Elks Argo next weekend and hope we get back on track.

A bunch of us going to the tailgate and game.

Looks like the crowd and excitement is coming back

Love that you can tailgate, we are missing it here in BC

Any idea on how they will configure Commonwealth with the new field dimensions? Almost seems like they should skew it to the one end with the fieldhouse otherwise both endzones will be VERY far away

^unsure.

I was hoping for 25k+ due to the weather, but there is momentum with this team/org and its fanbase.

The tailgate is quite late established now and very popular.

Modernization is a tough balance, but stats help me see the real story
For live updates on how rule changes affect game flow, I use rubiscore.com to track scores and trends across leagues
It keeps me informed without the noise and I find it useful for comparing how different styles of football actually play out on the field

How does making the field incompatible with every soccer, rugby, and existing football field in the country, "grow the game". They all had goal posts at 100m/110yards, now they won't.

Set of these and you were good for all three sports:

Tremendously pleased, and intrigued, to see that amateur and university football will not be following the CFL in adopting the new American-style rules.

https://www.sportsnet.ca/cfl/article/foo...mplementing-cfl-changes-for-2027-season/

This could create a real schism between the CFL and university sides at shared stadiums, to say nothing of furthering the perception that the CFL will no longer be playing Canadian football.

That's great to see. This lends some real weight to the fan pushback against these.

Never give up baby!

What a second half by the EE and comeback win in the rain!

Looking forward to next week's rematch; 1st in the west.

Any reports on attendance this past weekend?

Calgary looked low due to weather, but otherwise things looked pretty good from the TV.

Calgary was 25,698
Hamilton was 25,274 (standing room sold over capacity)
Sask was 34,352 (standing room sold over capacity)
Montreal was 22,752 (283 short of a sell out)

So overall a great weekend

DAZN has already hired Chris Streveler for the 2027 CFL season. He is also doing some NFL stuff this year, so I think it is content like this that is going to help fans cross over to both leagues. Here is his post below.

Guys I’ve got some big time news!

I’m joining
@DAZN
for their NFL and CFL coverage! I’ll be involved with NFL gamepass internationally and will have an NFL show on platform.

I’ll also be part of their CFL Saturday night football broadcast team starting next season!

Finally, See it Like Strev will also be made available on DAZN platform!

I’m beyond excited for this opportunity! Can’t wait to attack this next chapter with the same relentless energy I’ve always applied to my career! Thank you guys for all your positive words and encouragement, we’re just getting started!!

@DAZN_CA

@NFLonDAZN
