Who should adopt the Orphanauts?

[Wobbler]

A recent article on 3down discussed the prospect of playing the 2020 season in the West, with the Eastern teams being temporarily "adopted" (https://3downnation.com/2020/06/09/cfl-considering-adopt-a-team-model-for-2020-season-report/). If that happened (omitting BC, as the article suggests), where would you want the Argos to be billeted?

I went with Winnipeg. For TV purposes our 'home' games would run earlier than the other locations.

As tough as it is for the team to have exposure, having a few in the Mountain and Pacific start times will be better.

If this idea comes to fruition (and I remain doubtful), I don't see why games couldn't be scheduled in alignment with the time zone the "home" team normally plays in. Toronto's "home" games could start at 7:30 ET even if that is 5:30 locally, since I don't expect there would be any fans in attendance anyway.

Great point. If it happens, it's going to be strictly a made for TV thing.

Fort McMurray?

Fort McMurray?

Argos have the best CFL record of all time there.

Fort McMurray?

with oil prices being what they are now, Fort McMurray is just another orphan.

Yes sir, that game felt like it was being played on the surface of the sun it was so hot.

[Wobbler]

For the record, I did vote for Edmonton because of the (mostly) positive Fort McMurray experience.
