Let's add more team! Spread the love!
As a American I love the NFLand the CFL yes there game is different but entertaining to watch I would love to see the CFL add a 10th team soon
Sarah is the best! Go Alouettes!!!
Yes!!! It's about time we got to 10. I'd love the league to look like this...
West: Victoria, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg.
East: Ottawa, Toronto, Hamilton, London, Montreal, Quebec City, Halifax.
14 teams!... in my dreams.
10 teams is enough.
@@billbaird2273 Nah, dream big!
@@jeffa6841 Victoria and Saskatoon would cut into the Lions and Riders fan base and none of these team would be viable. Quebec could probably support a team.
YES !!
I don't have a preference, but it has to be easier to make.a.schedule.with an even number of teams. How about having Halifax and Quebec split the home games of a new team evenly for 2 or 3 seasons. If one emerges as the clear leader in attendance and having a better stadium, then that city could get the team full time.
Honestly I’ve been watching the cfl as much as possible the last couple of years and it’s a lot better than what other Americans think. I’m always trying to get my buddies to watch it since so many people have stopped watching the nfl because of the injection of politics into it. I think that expansion would be possible but if the cfl really wanted to expand they should have better exposure into America. Right now they can gain a lot of viewers who just want football and not the politics. Plus I live in Nashville Tn and how can I watch it live when it kicks off.
🔥🔥🔥
If not for the pandemic it would have happened this year , hopefully soon !
Thanks for the content Sarah! But is the sound quality a bit off?
Tradition hmmmm. You know what nice about having nine or some other odd number of teams? Every week one team gets a week off (a bye) to recover from injury, develop, practice up for a rivalry game or change momentum. Also, a city such as Toronto with about six million people, built a new stadium within less than 50,000 capacity. Hamilton? Less than 30,000. Montreal, big city, used to draw 60,000 to Olympic Stadium. 40 years later, they act happy to have 23,000 at Molson Stadium. It sounds nice to expand, but CFL margin of profitability is thin and expansion may spread it even thinner. Imagine a new team, new ownership, new 20,000 seat stadium on a cold rainy night in late September, 12,000 fans show up and if that expansion team is losing, a third of them have left by the fourth quarter. Economy of scale. If the stadium is small, then ticket prices will be higher in order to be profitable. Football tickets are a luxury. Can / will the population base support a team long term? Like 10 years plus? The commitment has to be there in the form of season ticket holders. I would love to see both Quebec City and Halifax awarded a CFL franchise and build a stadium of at least 40,000 seats enclosed to deal with the weather. Modern luxury and press boxes and deep, stable finances. Good parking as well as mass transit options. Last year I drove from Montreal to Hamilton to see an Argos vs Ticats game. Parking capacity at the new stadium was about 2,000 cars. Then street parking for miles in all directions in some questionable neighborhoods. The stadium was nice, new, merchandise was sold in a beautiful store, the CFL Hall of Fame was on the property, yet closed, boasting ridiculous hours. The seating area for halftime eating and drinking was ridiculous and this place was new. After the game, we had a refreshing 20 minute walk back to the car! C'mon, be serious. The solution would be to buy up enough property in the area to build a secure parking garage for 5,000 cars. Charge ten dollars to parking and gross fifty thousand dollars every game.
Not only should the league bring in a tenth Canadian team, they should bring back the teams in the U.S..
Definitely expand the CFL to Halifax , Quebec City, Vancouver Island and in New Brunswick!
The CFL needs to add another team because that will provide more e opportunities for players and it will add more money to the league because without growth the league
My Fiancee Sarah Skarr And I Think The 10Th Team Should Be Halifax Schooner Or Quebec City Queens
Step 1 All teams should redo their territories. Fort St John in BC is closer to Edmonton than Vancouver for example. Lions should have Washington State, Oregon and parts of Idaho as their territory for promoting the CFL only. Every year the individual teams should be visiting the football programs in their area.
Step 2 Training camps and pre-season games. All 9 teams should do this in America. They have cheaper food and it costs a lot of money to feed those lineman. The travel would be better as well. The cities should be Philadelphia, Easton PA, Piscataway NJ, Columbus, Massillon, Oxford OH, Chicago, Notre Dame and Racine WI.
Step 3 Try to get 3 owners interested in investing in the CFL. Instead of being in one city have 9 cities for each team. Biggest capacity stadium gets played in first then the capacity gets lower as the season goes on.
Step 4 Figure out which cities give you the highest amount of revenue. Start eliminating the lower revenue cities.
If Step 3 and 4 can't be done in America. Then try to find one owner in Canada willing to spend money on a pop up stadium in the long term. Have them agree to play in temporary stadiums in Halifax, Moncton, Quebec City, Windsor, Thunder Bay, Saskatoon, Fort McMurray, Lethbridge, Kamloops and Victoria. Eventually eliminate the cities that don't bring in revenue. Call the expansion team "Canadian Bacon" temporarily until the name of the winning city can be named.
I wouldn’t say there’s a huge Lions fan base in the Pacific Northwest part of the US but, A lot of players in the north western part of the Pac-12 teams end up doing very well in the CFL. Plus, I do know that the success of exhibition games being held in Portland, Oregon was what spurred off the American expansion in the 90s despite that city not having a team. In Oregon at least I can say the CFL is taken seriously by people who who know football well as well as a player would. Not lost on folks that the rematch of the greatest Grey Cup ever played, was a preseason exhibition game played in Portland.
@@timcombs2730 I wouldn't say it was huge either. I'm just saying if the Lions had someone on the payroll going around to the different cities doing a) community work b) football related activities ie. coaching, play with the pros, mini-camps and c) putting what they are doing on social media via digital content, then at least their profile would be a little higher. I don't see why the Lions couldn't fly out the Oregon Ducks team in June or July to see a game live once a year. Washington Huskies is a bus road trip. There's a cost involved but the CFL is having a recruitment problem right now and sometimes you have to invest in the future.
@@theodoreking8468 Lions should play Elks in an exhibition game in Oregon.
@@timcombs2730 I wouldn't mind seeing a regular season game in Oregon eventually but your idea is valid.
Another team or two would be good, but the big question is do you know of another Canadian city that would actually support another CFL team? Any research on this?
Halifax could if Regina can
Maybe, but Regina fans are dedicated fanatics!
As an American, the problem with CFL expansion to the US is Americans see the CFL as “minor league football”. We don’t see the CFL for what it is, a separate code of gridiron football. It is it’s own sport and if Americans can see that, then American expansion can be successful
As someone who lives in Toronto, it's not just Americans who see the CFL as some sort of minor league...
Well, it is less prestigious and the players do make way less money than the NFL the athletic talent and ability that it would take to play CFL is not necessarily minor league in that regard. The players are just as equally talented, but have a specific skill set that is better suited from Canadian football
The fundamentals of what it takes to play football are equal to the NCAA or NFL despite the Leauge infrastructure
Especially compared to the level of ability of something like in the arena league or even the XFL or USFL, which are so clunky and awkward compared to the CFL
I Think The 10 Th CFL Team Should Expand To Quebec City Or Halifax!
Well I guess they could retry the American plan
With the success of the NHL in Las Vegas, do you think the CFL might be interested in coming to the Desert? Oh Wait, The Posse, Oh Yeah, Nevermind!
My God, are you serious? Let’s just shut this thing down finally.
baltimore stallions needs to return back
We saw the American expansion, which was a complete disaster, the league lost money in that fiasco. Until there's a real viable ownership, with an owner with money to actually do it, not owners looking for cash to get it started. Right now it's perfect with 9 teams, expansion is on the horizon maybe, but right now it's just a dream.
I’m sorry, but the CFL should give Nova Scotia a CFL team!!!!
Relocate the Alouettes to Quebec City.
Atlantic Schooners!!!!!!!!!!!!
the cfl needs to shape up it's pretty bad football
hmm clueless or what
A CFL team in Halifax will not be beneficial to the league. What will happen is drain the funds other specific teams pump into the league… Saskatchewan,Calgary,
Winnipeg,Edmonton….maybe Montreal…..Sorry that’s pretty much the only teams who brings worth to the table
did u really just say edmonton lmao that city has abandoned that team
in other words the western teams only. What a load of pure crap !!
