With all the news coming out of the Mistake By The Lake, I wonder if Braley and his Lions are that western team.

“In our view, Moncton is hosting a mini-Grey Cup, a celebration not only of Canadian football, but of our pride in being Canadians. And we’re going to show the country what an Atlantic Canadian welcome is all about.”
That would be a 6 hr flight and a 4 hr time difference would it not? Yikes!

Well, this might be a regular trip if there is ever a team in the Atlantic. For this game, an eastern opponent make more sense. Montreal would be good considering the Francophone population of New Brunswick.

If the Lions are going to be displaced next summer due to BC Place construction, wouldn't it make sense to have a Lions home game at a neutral site instead of T.O.?

Cohon said on our local sports show that he doubts it would be the Riders as they have a great gate for the Argos when Sask comes to town and he's not sure if the Argos want to give up the $$$.

Edmonton, perhaps?

I would think that it would likely be the Argos worst gate opponent. In that case, it very well could be BC. Edmonton also seems like a possibility.
