The team that qualifies for the Grey Cup and has a superior regular season record to its opponent will host the Grey Cup Game. This gives all nine CFL teams a shot at hosting the Grey Cup in this unprecedented year. We are also considering moving the Grey Cup into December, as we explore every option that will allow us to play as many games as possible in 2020.

This is asinine in my opinion. If the Grey Cup is played in December it has to be indoors. Realistically thought of outdoor football after October is wrong because of the weather. Sure the weather might be acceptable on any given weekend in Calgary, Toronto or Montreal but more likely than not any given weekend in Nov/Dec is going to be cold and/or snowing in Edmonton, Regina and Winnipeg. I feel bad for the players and broadcast crews that might be exposes to this ####. Are fans of the CFL actually going to care about a Grey Cup game if it is played outdoors and it is -30 or a blizzard? The game will suck.
