1984
The biggest trade since the Kapp deal brought all-star James Parker to the Lions defence from Edmonton. A number of new faces gave the club more depth than ever before, but a second straight first place finish was dampened by the late season loss of Dewalt to injury. In a repeat Western Final matchup at B.C. Place, Winnipeg triumphs and goes on to win the Grey Cup. Average crowds in excess of 40,000 in each of the first two years in the new stadium reversed the club's fortunes financially and debenture holders are receiving early repayment. Both Joe Kapp and Tom Brown were inducted into the Football Hall of Fame.
