As the CFL returns to Atlantic Canada for a neutral-site game this weekend, commissioner Randy Ambrosie is pointing to Hamilton as a reason why a stadium — and therefore an expansion team — can work in the region.
Indeed, the stadium affectionately known as the ‘Donut Box’ has had a big year, highlighted by the Maple Leafs-Sabres outdoor game and Canada’s dramatic World Cup men’s qualifying win over the U.S. They’re the kind of events many had hoped for when $145 million in public funds was used to make Tim Hortons Field a reality in 2014 .
With the pandemic changing everything, plans for a potential stadium in Halifax were discontinued in 2021.But Ambrosie says Schooner Sports and Entertainment, headed by Gary Drummond, remains very interested in putting a team in the region . Moncton, while significantly smaller than Halifax, is known as a hub city because it is centrally located in the region. A little band called The Rolling Stones played a concert in front of about 70,000 fans in Moncton in 2005.
In the meantime, the CFL figures to be able to paint a rosy picture Saturday. All 10,000 tickets for the game in Wolfville, which is about an hour from Halifax, sold out in an hour.“I’m not the most patient guy on the planet,” Ambrosie said. “I’d like to see it happen fast, but more importantly I’d like to see it happen well.”• The Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

The CFL handed Marino a four-game suspension, the longest punishment in league history for on-field behaviour. The Roughriders should take the next step and release Marino, who has a bad history.
