- nice to see what looked like a decent crowd in TO
- i thought initally rourke looked very nervous, then seemed to settle down a bit, would amke some plays and then the wheels would fall off again or the bobmers d jsut made plays. take your pick
- not a great day for collaros, but was good enough to get the job done. he will be an obvious storyline this week
- some crazy turns in the game for both teams, that seemed to make the end result closer than it should have been
- oshea noted his team did not exhibit a lot of football iq. i'd assume that third down int was at the top of his list
- brady olivera has now really emerged from andrew harris shadow
- nic demski is awesome

No offence to Winnipeg but the only reason why I don't want Toronto to steal another Grey Cup is because it probably means they stick with MBT which increases the likelihood of Bo to Sask.

I don't recall any specific rule; I remember in 2009 when the Grey Cup was in Calgary, they put temporary stands in end zones to increase capacity to something like 40k or 45k, but I don't believe they did that last time (in 2019).
Bombers won the First game at the new Riders stadium, the first playoff game and now ideally the first Grey Cup at the stadium. Perfect way to stick it to them.
Stamps beat them in 1971, but since then the Argos have won every time they played in the Grey Cup which are the following:
1983 vs BC
1991 vs Calgary (that was the Rocket Ismael beer can game)
1996 - Doug Flutie led Argos
1997 - Doug Flutie part deux
2004 vs BC
2012 vs Calgary at Skydome (Rogers Centre)
Edit: I forgot the 2017 Grey Cup (still bad memories)

Conventional wisdom would say you're right. But the Argos always seem to have fairy dust that helps them win GC games even when they're huge underdogs.
The forcast calls for very cold and windy conditions, so it could be a 2017 type situation again (albeit without the heavy snowfall).
I'm less confident about this game than I was about the BC game. As mathgod said, Toronto has horseshoes up their ass as an organization when it comes to Grey Cups. Deserve ugotz, any given Sunday.
