I get why the CFL doesn't want to start the season earlier (end May/early June) because then they have to fight with the NHL playoffs for attention. Funny thing is though by choosing to keep its current starting schedule, it ensures the season gets to this point where its going to be -6 as a high Sunday, with 15cms to fall Friday and Saturday. Getting people to pay for that is next to impossible when HD TV exists. If the season ended the third week of October you might get crappy weather, but you have a good chance of also having nice weather as well. Otherwise yeah without a dome this time of year, who wants to freeze their ass off and pay to do it when there's the balmy living room and wonderful HD?
