August 25, 20195 yr comment_420381 The Halifax expansion is a bad idea for many reasons, but hearing the ownership group talking about playing in 2021 and "playing a couple seasons" in Moncton while a stadium is built in Nova Scotia is complete lunacy. They'll be bankrupt before they play a game in their stadium. Based on the crowds showing to these games they are likely to lose $10-15 million a season on operations in Moncton, plus the initial costs of starting up. There's truly no benefit to the league. Is TSN going to cough up a bunch of money because there's now a team in the coveted Atlantic TV market of half a million people?

I believe they also missed 3 separate dates to present their proposals to the Halifax city council as well. Additionally, its a market that isn't growing, with governments that have debt issues so severe that they have to cut essential services.

There are weekends when there is not an ER open on Cape Breton to facilitate the doctor having a couple days off. They can't justify giving a dollar to a stadium.
August 25, 20195 yr comment_420387 Black asked member of ownership group whether he had ever called a CFL game. Prospective owner said no. Rod responded "neither have we". What a bizarrely wonderful response.

August 25, 20195 yr comment_420395 Rod Black just literally read Geno Lewis' dad's Wikipedia page but in a way that "he watched him play at Southern Alabama." Junie Lewis look it up!

August 25, 20195 yr comment_420402 I advocate for the “change of scenery” option. BC and Toronto should trade coaches. Irony is: no one in either city would notice.
August 25, 20195 yr comment_420411 Began watching at the triple reverse touchdown play by the Als. Heck, this is pure entertainment since then!
August 25, 20195 yr comment_420420 Good game so far, surprised the Argos didn't take the easy F.G. with 1:30 left to play.
