Is it not already confirmed for Tim Horton's Field in Hamilton. I thought this was a promise made to Bob Young and the city once old Ivor Wynne was torn down and rebuilt as Tim Hortons Field. Would that not make more sense since it is completed. Perhaps even for 2017 if not 2016. Remember TD Place in Ottawa is also slated to host a Grey Cup game. These are 2 completely new or renovated stadiums that are prepared to go where as BMO construction has not even started yet, as far as making those moveable stands. In the construction industry, you never know what delays could occur?
My bet is Ottawa or Hamilton for next year, if it has not already been announced.
With expectations of Eastern teams moving to or refurbishing stadiums with less capacity, does this mean that will never see a Grey Cup with 50,000 fans in the east unless it's in the big O in Montreal. Maybe not even 40k. I really think that once the Argos finish playing their last game at Skydome, there will never be another Canadian Football game at any level played there. I think rogers will be gutting the entire 100 level removing the track that rotated the seats and making a permanent baseball venue with club seats in the 100 level as well as install grass, so you can probably forget about any Grey Cups or Vanier Cups ever being played there again.
