The @CFL kicks off the season on Thursday night w/a great matchup between the #Alouettes/#Ticats!

Establishment of a Quebec City expansion @CFL team has been in the works for over a year, spearheaded by several prominent businessmen from Quebec City region.

Quebec radio host Sylvain Bouchard also indicates that the construction of a 25,000-seat stadium on the Colisée site is being seriously considered, with a construction cost estimated at approximately $350 million.

Hopefully nothing serious for 🇨🇦 Addae. Nice to see 🇺🇸 Henderson active, even if limited, after a significant injury last season. #Redblacks #RNation #CFL

@shawnpensfan @RedBlackGade @OTTRoughRiders @3DownNation @REDBLACKS @TSN1200 @CFL @CFLonTSN @TD_Place @ottawacity Won’t soon forget The Trews playing a pregame show outside Aberdeen Pavilion for the inaugural game. Really cool.

[Paolo | @DefendTheR @DefendTheR]

@RedBlackGade Move some version of tailgating to the streets at Lansdowne? Where the farmers market vendors set up maybe?

[Paolo | @DefendTheR @DefendTheR]

There is a pregame future where all of Lansdowne is ‘activated’ to create a #Redblacks block party. Could be amazing. #RNation

@shawnpensfan @RedBlackGade @OTTRoughRiders @3DownNation @REDBLACKS @TSN1200 @CFL @CFLonTSN @TD_Place @ottawacity What were some of the things that were better when Hunt was running things? I can’t really think of any, honestly.

Maybe it was just the fact the team was new and good?

[Paolo | @DefendTheR @DefendTheR]

@wayner551 @RedBlackGade @3DownNation @REDBLACKS @TSN1200 @CFL @CFLonTSN @OTTRoughRiders @TD_Place @ottawacity If that were true, why has it been big crowds when the product on the field is good and smaller crowds since the team stopped being competitive?

[Shane Ry @Shane_13thman]

Dinwiddie confirms that 🇺🇸 REC Ayden Eberhardt & DE Bryce Carter will be IN & 🇨🇦 REC Nick Mardner will be OUT vs Edmonton.
