Having been to a game or two recently, and having been at Mosaic Stadium, you need to get the fans closer to the game. Commonwealth you feel very far away from the play sometimes.

Love the idea. Wonder what it'll do to ticket prices.

I think if the Elks can sell out the lower seats between the goal lines, they can open up the upper seats.

Keep in mind that this is only for Elks games. I'm certain the upper levels will still remain open if there's a major concert by Metallica, Rolling Stones or AC/DC.

A good start, but terrible second and inability to convert second downs... looking forward to next year.

CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie said Tuesday the league is encouraged by talks with a potential expansion team owner in Atlantic Canada, but wants the league to make a final decision on the location in the near future.
A potential eastern expansion has been discussed a possibility for the league since 2016, but the previously involved Schooner Sports and Entertainment dropped out of an ownership attempt during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I can tell you that we have been in a conversation with a highly engaged, very qualified potential owner in Atlantic Canada,” Ambrosie said during his state of the league address ahead of the 110th Grey Cup. “And those conversations will continue through the Grey Cup weekend, and beyond.
