On March 25, 2008, the CFL Board of Governors awarded a conditional franchise to an Ottawa group that includes 67's owner Jeff Hunt. The franchise will be condition free when the Hunt group negotiates a stadium deal with the City of Ottawa. You are invited to show your support for the franchise by reserving a seat in the stadium for the team's first season. Each seat reservation is $25 and special consideration is being given to former season ticket holders of the Ottawa Renegades and/or Ottawa Rough Riders.
Reserve your seat(s) at Capital Tickets by following this link:

The mayor is all for it. If you go back to when this stuff was just rumours, he was just dying to reveal it. The ownership group ended up announcing themselves a little earlier than they wanted because the mayor couldn’t help but spill the beans of an ideal ownership group waiting in the wings.
One councillor is particular is vocally opposed and getting a lot of press because the stadium in his ward. He’s still only one vote though (out of 23). He’s probably the one giving you that impression.
Hope you guys get an owner that actually knows what he is doing. Use Rougriders again,it bothers the americans and makes the cfl more unique. Then the next time you play sk in the GreyCup final, in 3007. The loser has to give up the name.
I am trying to get a collection done where as two tickets can be bought. Not sure what I will do with them at this time. But if that helps for one season what the heck .
Good idea (including jm02’s input), and thank you. When Toronto and Hamilton struggled, I went to watch the Renegades at their place. If I get a team back, I’d continue to do the same. In my opinion, that’s part of being a fan of the league.
A popular charity here among the players was the Boys and Girls clubs.
I am uncertan the fans will really support another O team. The R's attendance was poor despite the development of a star QB and some very good players- many were snatched up quickly when the R's folded.
I'm from Hamiton, I reseved 2 tickets when i posted this. If it happens, I will head down to Ottawa and check out a couple of games. Ottawa is such a great city! If they have the never waste a ticket like Hamiton does i will save them up and use them when i can or donate them.
I also bought Argos season tickets this year. same goes for Toronto.
