BMO Field of Dreams! Good luck to the Argos stadium-mates Toronto FC

[1971GreyCup]

Wonder what the CFL BOG (hey - GOB spelled bacwards) types would be asking for an Atlantic expansion team franchise fee ?

IMO - they should bend over backwards to let them in for free basically - cause it would be such a huge shot in the arm for the league and all franchises; but that would fly in the face of biz-ness/profit motive & gouging deep thinking.

Also wonder what old cheap-skate Braley is expecting to get for the Lions? - did I hear he was asking 15 mil ? = that's a total joke IMO.

I read somewhere that Ottawa paid an expansion fee of $4.5 -$5 million. I suspect that unless the CFL would like to return this fee, they'd better recover at least that amount from a new team. Look for MLSE to except value-added ideas to the league.

Braley reportedly wants around $20 million.

Free expansion team ? I don't think that's a good business move by the League - Basically saying that CFL teams are worthless, and I'm pretty sure the League and it's team are a $200+ million business.

OSEG paid $7 million.
