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.

Last years GC was in Calgary on Nov.24, the year before in Edmonton on Nov. 25, the year before that in Ottawa on Nov.26 and so on.
All outdoor venues.
Does moving it back 7 or 14 days really add that much of an issue as far as conditions go?
Could be nice, could be brutal, could be in a dome....who knows?
Just not that big of a deal.
