CFL Stadiums

We all love to go to the football games to cheer on our favorite teams but which stadium provides the best experience for fans. Below you will find links to each stadium.

West

BC Lions - BC Place Stadium
Calgary Stampeders - McMahon Stadium
Edmonton Eskimos - Commonwealth Stadium
Saskatchewan Roughriders - Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field

East

Hamilton Tiger-Cats - Ivor Wynne Stadium
Montreal Alouettes - Molson Stadium
Toronto Argonauts - Rogers Centre
Winnipeg Blue Bomberes - Canad Inns Stadium
I am looking for the answer to two questions:
  1. Of the stadiums listed above, which is the best for fans?
  2. Of the stadiums listed above, which have you been to (Personally, I have visited Canad Inns Stadium, Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field and McMahon Stadium)?

2007 CFL Season

In the off season I love to predict who will finish where in the CFL during the regular season. I see this year being very competitive. I love the salary cap as it ensures that all teams will have their chance to win the Grey Cup this year in Toronto. It does hurt a lot of vets but it is always time for some new blood. I do wonder if the cap is fair for all teams, as it is more expensive to live in the larger cities. In the past I believe that Saskatchewan was at a disadvantage because players did not want to go to Regina, but now players could make less and still have more in Regina.

Here are my predictions for the upcoming year:

West
Calgary Stampeders
Saskatchewan Roughriders
BC Lions
Edmonton Eskimos

East
Toronto Argonauts
Montreal Alouettes
Winnipeg Blue Bomberes
Hamilton Tiger-Cats

What do you think will happen this year? Am I way off?

Alouette Fans

I am excited to start this new blog. I hope that I am able to interact with Alouette Fans from all over the world. Make sure to check this site often, as I hope to start an online community dedicated to Alouette Fans. I also encourage you to leave comments.

This leads me to my first question. What is the best part about being a Alouette Fan?
