- Toronto's Canadian National Exhibition Stadium suffered from controversy for it's long existence. Between dense fog, driving snow, and stinging rain, sports fans would brave the weather to see the Blue Jays, Ti Cats, and many concerts. Possibly the most infamous game every played in the stadium was the 1962 Grey Cup. A game so hampered by fog that it had to end early, creating a new rule in the CFL and giving fans one of the greatest games never seen.

Blows my mind that that they didn't delay or postpone the game from the hop. And of course the CFL would screw it up later on due to lightning. The CFL is a treasure trove of 'did you know' content - hope to see more down the road.
There are so many weird CFL stories out there. Stay tuned!
What an obscure bit of history. I definitely mist this bit of trivia. Moist excellent, good sir!
The puns just keep coming! Thanks for watching.
1:55 wondered when I was going to hear "mistake by the lake." :-) good job getting it in early.
Right off the hop because, after reading about the CNE, it truly was the sum of mistakes. Thanks. We are trying to get in that grey cup crowd ;).
You might want to change your description, it says Toronto fans came to see the Ticats when it should be the argos.
I was going to correct this since it's about the Grey Cup but yeah " Toronto fans would brave the weather to see the Blue Jays, Ti Cats, and many concerts" should be Blue Jays, Argonauts, and many concerts - good catch. Wish my viewers would read the description.
Thanks for the catch! Changed to sports fans instead.
