Yeah that's the downside that they are losing the almost 3 month jump on the NFL/CFB.

Not sure the CFL really steals fans when they overlap anyway, so I don't think it's a big deal.

BC/Sas game was crazy. Sas jumped up 31-0 and then had to hold on to win 32-29.

You can score 1 point without it being an extra point?

Yep, called a single or rogue. Any kick that goes into the endzone other than an extra point or made FG and isn't brought out of the endzone results in a point for the kicking team. Also a punt that goes out of bounds in the endzone is a point, but not a kickoff.

It's made some interesting finishes before where a missed FG could still win the game if the other team doesn't get out of the endzone.

Go Winnipeg. They have a very nice stadium, very fan friendly. Only holds like 30-40k or so I believe. But it’s a great place to watch football

Lol yeah I've seen crowds at Argos' games....not sure that's much of an advantage but I think they come out better in the playoffs.

That's a pretty big crowd for a CFL game.

True. It wasn’t sold out the games I went to. But it was a great game atmosphere. Not a bad seat in the house, good parking, and super accessible amenities.
