The history and scope of the CFL is unique in Canada. Its roots go back to the 1860s with the first game being played at the University of Toronto and its evolution is tied to Canadian rugby. The first Grey Cup was awarded in 1909. With over 50 per cent of the players required to be Canadian, it was the first — and remains one of the only — institu...
The difficulty is that unlike many of the larger professional sports leagues, the CFL is a league dependent on having paying fans in the stadium. A majority of CFL revenues are tied to game day sources (tickets, parking, concessions). In comparison, only 18 per centof the revenue from the NFL’s Washington franchise comes from game day.
