Looks like CFL week was a success. I do think the CFL missed an opportunity to host it in a city outside of Saskatchewan and it should have been held in Ottawa this year. To say the city of Ottawa is in a CFL frenzy right now is an understatement. Last week Redblacks ownership announced that 17,000 season tickets have already been sold and each season ticket is averaging 1 Grey Cup ticket sold. There is also a waiting list of 10,000 who have put down a $50 deposits to buy a grey cup on its own when they go on sale. So its not an exaggeration to say that approximately 27,000 grey cup tickets have been sold already. I think that next year could have easily been held in Sask and the CFL would have had 2 good years to start the week. A little nitpicking and Grey cup update.
