@CFL_News This is what a stadium at that site could look like.

[Québec Citadelles @QuebecCFL]

@2andOutCFL Going to have to tune in for this discussion

[Québec Citadelles @QuebecCFL]

I know a good name and logo if this team happens.

[CFL News @CFL_News]

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.

After reading this, we might need to see if @TheJCAbbott is interested in coming on board to help with our Québec CFL 2027 shadow team! #CFL

@TheJCAbbott Not surprising if you watched the outstanding CFL Draft coverage by @3DownNation. You guys were down on the Alouettes' draft from draft night.

[Québec Citadelles @QuebecCFL]

@barnes777 @TSNDaveNaylor @3DownNation QB and OL would be the biggest weaknesses if you just used released/practice squad talent.

[Québec Citadelles @QuebecCFL]

If we started our team with a RB room of Matthew Peterson, Mario Anderson and Deonta McMahon, we would be ready to compete day 1.

All of those guys were released and/or added to practice squads yesterday.

The CFL needs expansion.

[Québec Citadelles @QuebecCFL]

If you want proof of the need for a 10th (and 11th and 12th) CFL team, just look at the amount of talented players cut yesterday.

There were also a lot of young Canadians cut who could have a chance to develop on practice squads if there were more teams. #CFL #CFLExpansion

[Québec Citadelles @QuebecCFL]

Speaking of our team identity, what colors would you like to see the Québec team wear?

[Québec Citadelles @QuebecCFL]

We are about halfway through the vote for our team name and Citadelles has a huge lead.

Make your voice heard. Help us name Team 10.

[Québec Citadelles @QuebecCFL]

It's time for the final vote for the identity of the Québec CFL 2027 shadow team.

Please choose the name that most closely fits Québec and the CFL.

Spread the word and help us find our identity.

@soupelipton I didn’t need any friends, paid for it myself with a ChatGPT account. About $20 a month.

We agree with @TSNDaveNaylor, we think Québec is the perfect home for a CFL team.

[CFL News @CFL_News]

.@TSNDaveNaylor - "When it does comes to expansion, I don't think the league is thinking Atlantic Canada. I think they're thinking Quebec City. I think they (@CFL) think that's the market that has more potential."

@terrykhoyt1 No, unlike them we already have a stadium and a GM.
