Reading the article on the front page, I learned teams playing in the Grey Cup become the home team and the visiting team following a coin toss. I always thought the western team was considered the home team when the game was in the west and so when it's the opposite.
Does that mean the Lions could have played the game home and be the visiting team? Or is that procedure skipped when the hosting team makes it to the big game?
That'd be funny.. imagine the GM Place loudspeakers telling the crowd to "Make some noise!" for the defense of the team playing against the Lions in that scenario. The response would be priceless.
In 1994 Grey Cup game, the Lions wore their away jerseys while playing at BC Place. Perhaps the historians on line can correct me, but maybe Baltimore was the “Home team” and the Lions were the Visitors.
Not sure if it is the same in CFL, pretty sure it is, but Away team gets to call heads or tails on the coin toss in the NFL. Thats the only difference I can think of.
