I've been to 6/9 current stadiums.

Calgary and Edmonton are the bottom, but Calgary becomes a place to not watch a game because of the stadium. By far the worst. 

 

From a pure stadium perspective, BC is my favorite place to watch a game. Winnipeg is second.

 

The three I haven't been to are Toronto, Montreal and Regina

You gotta get to sask bud, Those games are a riot. I enjoy montreal a lot too even though the stadium isnt great.

When we were living in Saskatchewan, the wife and I attended a couple of Bomber games at the old stadium. It was mostly fun and an intimate experience although there seemed to be more than average numbers of jackholes who were rude and crude.

That whole province is a **** hole... It's what happens if Rural Alberta gets to be a whole province. Hard pass from me...

oh 100%. I’ve run into way more of those than you’d think normal in my ventures into saskabush.

The border is only two hours from home, but then it's another 5-6 hours to get there 😂

the stadium is kind of small time but damn is it a fine place to watch a game on a summer night.  Love the setting up on the mountain with the campus buildings wrapping around the stadium. Absolutely gorgeous scenery.  Need to get back there someday.

What a joke thanks to Randy Ambrosie. He actually believd that the Maritimes could support the CFL? All it took was 6 years to get the money back. Imagine what a **** show that franchise would have been?

Whew..... Ottawa hires Dinwiddie as HC and GM. Wow... Osh to Toronto??

Crazy times.....

[Noeller]

Pinball will give Osh a blank cheque... Curious to see if he takes it.

Crazy indeed. I was just opining that we would offer him a similar role...

I still can't believe the Argos messed up that badly. Their problems didn't occur because of Dinwiddie. Pinball kind a seems like a coach killer... 

I wonder if toronto makes the same offer to Mos, boy this off season could be real interesting.

Right? They already have some of his old buddies too in Eiben, Marshall, and costanza.  

[ShyGuy]

If Toronto is looking for a replacement I know a real up-and-coming offensive co-ordinator that might fit. 

[blue85gold]

Dinwiddie is a hell of a coach. As a GM, who knows? The talent pipeline coming in to Ott isn't anywhere near what it was in TO.  How he does will depend a lot on which of the scouting team comes with him.

With the restrictive nature of the front office cap, I think this is more of the future. AGM/Senior DPP assisting with in-season stuff and letting the coach run more of the team. 

I think ott has a lot of good pieces already, if Dinwiddie pilfers the argos like usually happens they should be in real good shape next year.

Yeah...why couldn't we have dangled that carrot

Ott got exponentially better in one swift move

We could have done the same...He plays best players...plays no favorites...will pull a guy mid game..heck mid drive 

Schooled us in 2 cups 

Damn...but good job ottawa

Dinwiddie has a good hand in recruitment and lotsa connections...wayyyy more than osh and walters combined

[rebusrankin]

Not sure about him as a GM but Dinwiddie is an excellent coach. Would have loved to have him as our coach.

[wbbfan]

This makes the QB situation in the east even more interesting. Dinwiddie was tight with Arbuckle. 

I can't imagine he will want to bring him or the pest to Ott when they have brown. (Boy brown and Dinwiddie could be a deadly combo) And Idk if Arbuckle wants to go back to ott lol.

The replacement in Toronto might choose the pest over Arbuckle. 

That is, of course, if Mos doesn't go and take Zach back to the market nearest his home LOL

[Booch]

Kudos to ott for not sitting waiting and getting their 2026 rolling...take note Miller before we relegated to settling...again

[bustamente]

Maybe Collaros knows more that has let on with his I have options comment

[Noeller]

I could 100% see Osh going home and taking both Zach and Brady with him... Tho Zach is under contract so it'd have to be some kinda trade.

I doubt BO would follow Osh anywhere
