Argos want what TFC has - and vice versa

Maybe the CFL could target US expansion again and look to put teams into MLS specific stadiums.... now that would be something and I am sure with the love for real football they could generate a deeper TV contract then MLS.

Except most Americans don't consider the brand of football played in Canada to be "real" football. There was no MLS to compete with in 1993-95, yet we didn't see the CFL getting on U.S. network TV, so why would it happen now? The U.S. expansion days are over and won't be repeated IMO. Get into Halifax if possible (of course there's no stadium and a million other reasons why it's far from happening) but anything above a 10-team league in my lifetime would be a shocker.

I agree that I do not see the US expansion again. I don't think it should be completely dismissed. One of the real issues back in 1993-5 was the fact it was done in a rush as the league needed the cash infusion. I think if we look at the USFL example it is possible to get a foot hold in that market. But like you said I too do not see it happening again.

I would like to see Halifax and Quebec City along with another city. That would be great. I saw on 3downnation.com that the Comish was talking about expansion but more forcefully. I hope it happens.
