The Stamps have not put a good product on the field the last two seasons which has certainly impacted attendance at McMahon, but the league overall is in pretty good shape as revenues have increased as well as the salary cap.

The CFL’s salary cap for the 2025 season has jumped over $400,000 due to increased league revenues.

Teams expected the salary cap limit to be $5,65,000 million for the 2025 season. However, it has jumped by $412,365 to $6,062,365 million — a 7.3 percent increase. Compared to the 2024 salary cap which was $5,525,000, it’s up $537,365 — a 9.7 increase. The lift comes from the revenue growth-sharing model in the collective bargaining agreement.

Glad to hear that.

I wouldn't want a world without the CFL, I enjoy the tradition.

But man McMahon is a tough place to watch a game. Hard to get to. Hard to relieve yourself. Tough overall experience.

My friend missed the 2nd period of the outdoor game going to the bathroom.

The whole thing was a terrible experience but yeah it’s bad.

It’s the worst stadium in the league now with all of the teams that did upgrades or new builds.

Sask, BC, Winnipeg, ottawa, Mtl, Toronto, Hamilton

Edmonton probably next worst.
