CFL Commissioner - Randy Ambrosie's Fan Tour

[Scooter McCray]

Familiarity breeds contempt. My preference is for a full interlocking schedule. And keep the crossover. That way only the best teams make the post season based on straight up competition. If the East remains weak (likely as they have the expansion team) than they will only put 2 team's in the playoffs. I don't want to play Hamilton 4 times because the rivalry will get watered down. Team's already travel so the budgets are already in place.

You wouldn't play anyone 4 times. Commissioners suggestion was to play divisional teams 3 times each, and 6 games in total vs the other division. The CFL thrived when the teams played their own division more often than the other. IMO, it makes a lot of sense to do it. Not to mention, more games within reasonable travel range for the visiting team, IMO would mean bigger crowds.

With pre season and playoffs you might play one team 5 times. I'm just thinking from a marketing standpoint in Toronto would it be easier to sell tickets and make an event out of playing each team once at home. For example we could play Hamilton on Labour Day and thanksgiving making those must see in person and on TV.

I agree, for those reasons and because I want to see every team at least once a season in person.
