It's kind of a shame how often the CFL in recent years kind of screwed up the host city for the Grey Cup. The league is obviously quite strong in the prairies but how many times did the Stamps host during their 10-15 years of being arguably the #1 or #2 team? How often did Edmonton or Regina host? Fewer times than what would have made logical sense.
Far too many Grey Cups were played in Toronto and Vancouver to try and drum up support for corporate sponsors and try and play in warmer weather locations. I think it was a missed opportunity for Calgary and the CFL with how few times the league title game was not played in the prairie provinces.
