Touchdown Atlantic returns as fans, league look to add 10th CFL franchise
Touchdown Atlantic is back, and with plenty of buzz for an expansion team in Halifax.
“That’s the goal,” said Greg Dick, the CFL’s chief football operations officer and head of Grey Cup and events. Toronto enters Saturday’s game with a 5-0 record and sitting atop the East Division. Meanwhile, the Roughriders are 3-3 and behind the BC Lions and Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the West. The Leggetts came in from Sunken Lake in the province’s Annapolis Valley, where last year’s host venue Acadia is located, to take in the weekend’s festivities and cheer on the Argos.
“It’s been phenomenal, from the second you get off the plane, people are so welcoming and greet you with a smile,” said Roughriders wide receiver KianSchaffer-Baker, who’s enjoying the Maritime hospitality despite being out after undergoing hip surgery.
