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.

Also kinda sad how Calgary has had the dominant team in the league for forever until recently and their miserly ownership won't build a proper stadium that would be worthy of hosting more Grey Cups. I know McMahon, with the temp seats, is big enough but it's a dump.
