CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie speaks at a news conference in Halifax on January 23, 2020. (Andrew Vaughan CP) CANADAHALIFAX news CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie meets with Halifax mayor by admin 9 أغسطس، 2023 written by admin 9 أغسطس، 2023 145 CITYnews halidax \ By Sportsnet Staff CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie met with Halifax Mayor Mike Savage this week as the league continues a long-standing quest to add a team in Atlantic Canada, Sportsnet’s Arash Madani reported Tuesday. Per sources: Halifax mayor Mike Savage met this week with CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie. I’m told Savage is in Toronto on another matter, but the two had lunch. League + Halifax-area sources tell me “they’re still working away at it” on talks about an expansion team in N.S. — Arash Madani (@ArashMadani) August 8, 2023 The meeting comes less than two weeks after a sellout crowd of 11,555 attended a regular-season game between the Toronto Argonauts and Saskatchewan Roughriders at Huskies Stadium on the campus of Halifax’s Saint Mary’s University. No potential ownership group has been publicly identified and current stadiums in Halifax would likely have to be expanded to allow a potential 10th team to play in the Nova Scotia capital. The CFL has been eyeing Atlantic Canada for decades, though it hasn’t been able to make the dream a reality for a full-time team. The league has had a series of games, called Touchdown Atlantic in the region. Wolfville, N.S. and Moncton, N.B. also have hosted Touchdown Atlantic games. A 10th team would make scheduling far easier for the CFL, which has to have at least one team off every week because it has an odd number of teams. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Canadian rapper Tory Lanez gets 10 years for Megan Thee Stallion shooting next post NS Power outlines tree cutting plan to help reduce hurricane-caused outages You may also like ارتفاع إجمالي الناتج المحلي بـ0,3% في تشرين الأول... 24 ديسمبر، 2024 خبيرة إسرائيلية تطالب بالعدالة لضحايا العنف الجنسي في... 24 ديسمبر، 2024 كندا: تراجع عدد الوفيات بأشباه الأفيونيات بـ11%، لكنّه... 24 ديسمبر، 2024 A massive, menacing Steller’s sea eagle is dazzling... 24 ديسمبر، 2024 Three North Atlantic right whales spotted entangled this... 24 ديسمبر، 2024 Quebec doing better job at retaining immigrants, Atlantic... 24 ديسمبر، 2024 Halifax man charged after allegedly hitting police officer... 24 ديسمبر، 2024 Holiday travel could be tricky as Christmas storm... 24 ديسمبر، 2024 عقوبات صينية على منظمتيْن كنديتيْن تدعمان الإيغور والتيبتيّين 23 ديسمبر، 2024 مَنْح الدكتورة ندى جباضو وسام كندا من رتبة... 23 ديسمبر، 2024
