Yes, more NFL hopefuls who did not catch on there may be tempted to come to the CFL, but it also means that NFL teams are more likely to raid the CFL for our stars. It's not a raid if the players are pursuing those opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strongly doubt it rivals major U.S. high school fields I can't say for sure but based on the interview I heard and the $10 million cost of construction and brand new turf it's better than anything we have that isn't IGF and I bet the turf is better. Sounds a lot like the high school field described in the Zach Collaros story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying it has better turf than IGF’s 10 year old turf is also a low bar, the soccer fields next to IGF probably have better turf. You said it rivals major high schools in the States…I strongly doubt it. Edited November 17, 2022 by Geebrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captaincanuck12 Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 Football is a way of life down south. It's evident in high school through college through to the NFL. Even people who are not interested in football, they go to the games because that's what everyone is doing. When I was driving through the East coast of the United States, I was amazed at how many football fields there were with lights just for high school teams. It's ridiculous how nice some of those venues are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBlueFanatic Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 The closer we get to this game the more I want the 3-peat, as if that was even possible. 2019 people loved the story of breaking the drought 2021 people kept on about the single point, ignoring the wind, ignoring all the amazing plays leading up to the victory 2022 I’m almost sick to my stomach wanting this so bad. The Dunigan years in the 90’s should have been a dynasty but the football gods left us bent over the barrel. Bombers have defied streaks, curses, stats, injuries, refs, fate on the way to the top. I don’t think a new dynasty is too much to ask or hope for! rebusrankin, Noeller, JCon and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I am not... Also, I prefer to sit atop the mountain look back at the climb to here and enjoy the view from here. I am not interested in flinging **** downwards. Lol But yeah, 30 years of people laughing and pointing and "unfinished business part 11" and blah blah... yeah, I can see why lots of people have a bag of "**** yous" to hand out.

Rourke will probably make a virtual appearance to accept the award if he wins. From watching numerous interviews he seems like a humble individual and he has a great personality, the Americans are going to love him. Nothing fake about him.
