This is the third time in history that the Stampeders will play an Ottawa-based team for the Grey Cup.

In 1948, the Stamps capped off their undefeated season, winning their first Grey Cup in their first appearance in the Championship game (and only their fourth season in existence), with a 12-7 victory over the Rough Riders.

Twenty years later, the Roughies got their revenge, winning the 1968 Grey Cup game 24-21.

Both previous Calgary-Ottawa Grey Cup games were played outdoors in Toronto, just as this one will be. All three will have been played in a different stadium (although BMO Field stands in the same location as Exhibition Stadium).

Go Stamps Go!
