CFL's problem with scheduling is a team has to have a bye every week because of the odd number of teams. Now ideally you'd just get rid of the Argos and their Coyotes-esque attendance, but like the Coyotes eliminating that TV market is unacceptable to the league. Assuming you could revert to an 8 team league a schedule like so could work well. 17 game season, play your division teams three times each and other division twice each. Season starts June 1, there's a shared bye week after week 9, same playoff format as now, and the Grey Cup is played in the third week of October instead the third week in November.

Indoor stadiums are terrible though. Take it from someone who watched the expansion Als go from likely total failure to being saved by going outside. That scheduling conflict for that BC playoff game in I wanna say 97 was a godsend for the Als. I don't think going inside would help Stamps attendance at all, not when tickets would be more expensive, and especially since CalgaryNEXT reeks of a second rate amateur facility (which, I mean it's kinda supposed to be right?).
