    I would like the field size changed in the CFL. It would take care of this type of problem league wide and the game would not change.

    Make the size of the field 60 yards wide X 100 yards long with 15 yard end zones and hash marks on the 2 goal posts. I know some of you won't be able to sleep now but the game itself won't change when you think about it.

    Also lets get rid of the on field ratio juggling by getting rid of this rule, keep the team ratio but let the situation determine who plays on the field. It's the next step in the evolution of this game.

    Liked the game yesterday even though we lost. Had some young folks with me and they were entertained all game. The Game - music - cheer teams - bands - games - freebees - kiss cams - they liked all of it.

    On the Hamilton station they were talking about how bad the north end surface is for players. Seems it is widely known by other teams that the surface is unacceptable. There is nothing that can be done this year but it would be nice if someone from MLSE, would let us know their plans to solve the problem.

    At this point, I doubt that MLSE even knows what their plans are to resolve this issue.

    And do you want them to switch to 4 downs too? And put the goalposts at the back of the endzones?

    I like your thought on field dimensions. I was just thinking that if the CFL ever tried US expansion again they should have those dimensions as an option. opens up the small MLS stadiums as potential homes rather than trying to move into an over-sized football stadium.
