'21 was a pandemic Cup, where they couldn't really do a lot in terms of the parties and such. They got '23 as a thank-you and a chance for them to actually make some money.

17to85 Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 Hamilton went a long time without hosting so they deserve a real grey cup party. rebusrankin, Goalie, Jesse and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 Thought I read the conservative govt was hoping for 2025 but can you do BC 2024 Wpg 2025? Probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably Pretty sure Winnipeg was pushing for either 2024 or 2025.... 2025 gets us to year 3 of Collaros' contract, so that will be the one to break Edmonton's record of 5 in a row. I believe that the league generally tries to alternate between East and West every year, but with the pandemic, that got all messed up too.

Noeller Posted November 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 I feel pretty certain that the league promised Winnipeg either '24 or '25, and would not be at all shocked if that's a part of why they wanted Collaros locked in for both of those years. I have absolutely no information to back this up, but I sincerely feel like WBB FC *DESPERATELY* would love to win a GC in front of the home crowd, because it'd be the only thing they haven't done yet. I mean, there is absolutely nothing more you can do as an organization. Wade Miller could tip his cap and say good night after that one. They really REALLY want that home GC win, I think...

We'll just have to win it in B.C. I thought it was just kind of accepted that it was BC's turn. Probably Montreal in '26. JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCon Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 CFL pretty much invites teams to host the GC. Then the team goes to gov't to collect money. Horse trading. The only wrinkle was the Hamilton 2023 game. I believe that was supposed to go to BC. Then back to the East for '24, then to the West (Winnipeg) for '25. Montreal will have to wait an extra year. blue_gold_84, Noeller and Jesse 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 2024....2025....makes no difference as this team will retain the core that needs to be retained, augment it with new blood where needed, and is an easy draw to grab a new shiny toy in FA....not concerned at all and we know that in yr 2023 and 2024 moves will be made with 2025 in mind for a solid core and not a huge task to load up for that home Cup win...basically the polar opposite of what Sask did the last 2 years .....fools GCJenks, Sard, Noeller and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 Montreal really does not have a facility to hold it in. I think they have to watch with the Big O incase they get snow on the roof to a certain depth they cant hold events in it. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 I always expected it in ‘25, so I’m nonplussed. Sets up out record breaking 6th consecutive Grey Cup to occur at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I love dashing other teams hopes and dreams too though. That GC win against Hamilton in their own barn was fantastic. Watching Banks and Simoni walk away empty handed again while the Bombers partied in their stadium was just amazing GCJenks and bearpants 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) Kind of shitty that the Grey Cup is being treated as incentive for potential owners and/or bailouts. Maybe time to reward the cities more that support the league and give some incentive to others to get on board, actually market their teams. I'd rather have a 9 year rotating schedule than the BS we have now.

Every city has hosted the game since 2013 except Montreal. 2013 Regina. 2023 Regina 2014 Vancouver 2024 Vancouver 2015 Winnipeg. 2025 Winnipeg?
