I disagree. In the 80's and 90's the Riders barely filled half of the stadium. They have always had a small hardcore base of fans but now the whole province is acting like they have been fans for years now when it's only been three years where they've all been on the bandwagon. And IMO they are more hooligans than fans.

Chances are the Alouettes are going to get the Stamps' dressing room.

Montreal is the home team for the Grey Cup anyway.

I am not sure if they'd be right, but it has been mentioned on the Fan 960 numerous times that the Riders will get the Stamps dressing room.

EDIT: It appears that regardless who is designated the games home or away team (jerseys and such) the Riders will use the Stamps dressing room because they are West teams.

As for the "home" team thing people can't seem to come to a concensus on the forums I checked. Some think it alternates and in odd years the East is the home team but Calgary wore white last year when technically they should have been the home team because it was an even year. Other people say it is a coin flip done this week.

old article but it's a coin toss.

Interesting, I wonder if they still do it that way.

When you look back over the years, the East and West ahve alternated wearing the home jerseys in the Grey Cup as long as I can ever remember, the only exception being last year when the Stamps I believe were the home team and chose to wear white.

How's the party so far? Had to chuckle at this article.
