Mike, I thought about the size and I don't think a CFL field will fit in the Citrus Bowl.
Come on down anyway!

I have been to only 5 US States so far (and 7 of 10 Canadian Provinces). They are Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Michigan and New York. I would like to go to Florida next as it is such a popular destination for Canadian Snow Birds.

I might just take you up on your invitation Challenger99. I just don't think the Grey Cup could/should be played on an American football sized field. It would not be the same. :?

Mike, it is Your CFL, I would not want to see anything change, especially for the GC, that is not normal CFL size, rules just to play in the US.

There are not many US Stadiums that can fit a 65 X 150 Field .

How about holding a Grey Cup in Orlando ? sponsored by Disney as part of Canada Week. A showcase for the CFL in the US and they can still bring in Canadian artists for the half time show.
A million Canadians are living in Florida permanently or for 6 months, another 3 million vacation there. It's cheaper to fly to Florida from southern Ontario than it is out west. Only a one day drive, thousands of hotel rooms and no issues with the weather....... :thup:

Thats why I wish the Miami Manatees would have come to fruition and flourished in the CFL.....

Imagine going to a GC game in Miami? :lol:

G0 Manatees! :lol:

(whose home field would have been the Orange Bowl)

Our Canadian neighbors are always welcome!
Come on down and bring the GC to the Citrus Bowl!

:thup:

I would jump at this idea if I knew that a regulation sized CFL field is possible at the Citrus Bowl. I would love to go to Florida in late November for Canada's "National Annual Drunk" aka the Grey Cup.

The import ratio would have to be scrapped for the game or it would be illegal to play it on American soil.

For a one game Special Sporting Event the Import Rule of the CFL for determining roster players and on field players would not be a problem in the US.

I don't know where he came up with the idea that the game would not be allowed in the US because of the import rule.
It's like saying that the World Cup can't be played in the US because, non-Americans are playing? :roll:

Yet even if they followed your view of labour practices, what team will change their roster the week of the ultimate game of the year because they could play all Americans? This idea of yours does not pass muster for that reason, if for no other.

Winterpeg was probably a poor choice for the Grey Cup, but every city deserves one every decade.

So we should be getting ours soon?

Maybe they should move it here this year...
