We were in Canada last year and made it to a Hamilton TigerCats game and had one of the best times. There’s a few crazy rules like a Rouge is 1 point, for example, but the crowd was insane, loud, and rowdy af. Season starts next week and I’m actually looking forward to it. We’ll be back in Canada in July and have tickets for another TiCats game.

Also, the field has 2 50 yard lines, with a center field line denoted as "C". Also, isn't it 13 on 13? And you only have 3 downs...

I enjoy watching it the rare times it's on cbsnn. It's a decent appetizer before the real football begins.

I think it's 12 on 12. I like the goal posts in front of the endzone. Field is 60 yards wide and endzones are 20 yards long.

I really enjoy watching the CFL but at this time don't have a good way to watch it.

I like that they use the old high school footballs with the whole stripe. But I like how college football uses the half stripe, it just looks so cool when a spiral is being thrown.

Imagine it's a tie game... no time left on the clock... a team is lining up for a game-winning 40 yard field goal

And the kicker doesn't even have to make the field goal to win the game

Just kick it hard enough so it goes out the back of the end zone or the opposing team can't return it out of the end zone

Rouge awarded... game over

We didn’t go to the game but we’re in Vancouver on a game day. City was buzzing, they really support their team.

They used to have teams in America like in Birmingham. Noone remembers that.

When the Colts left Baltimore for Indianapolis... the CFL moved in

Pretty sure the Baltimore Stallions are the only US team to win the Grey Cup

Hamilton is a city like Pittsburgh, a steel mill city. Their stadium was literally dropped in the middle of a random neighborhood. It was great. Sold out, so about 24,000 people and the passion was crazy. Reminded me of a small town college rivalry game or a rivalry game for Texas High School football.

An American team has won the Grey Cup more recently than an Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup.
