It would be bad timing to hold a Grey Cup until things are resolved.

Sucks for Hamilton for sure. They are so overdue. The city and the fans deserve it. I have heard many times over the last couple of decades about how they aren't able to hold one, but I have never understand it. They have a great owner, strong team management (notwithstanding the egomaniacal- but still competent head coach) and a super fan base. Still all-in for an Edmonton Grey Cup!

Jesse Posted June 2, 2017 Report Posted June 2, 2017 Way prefer Edmonton to Hamilton from a personal perspective. The wife has family out in Edmonton, I could totally make this work.
Noeller Posted June 2, 2017 Report Posted June 2, 2017 I read a couple weeks ago that it's been down to Edmonton and Calgary for awhile now. The league was deciding between their two bids.
17to85 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Posted June 2, 2017 I think it's pretty much a guarantee that Hamilton gets it when they actually want it but they don't feel they are in a position to host the thing at this time.
Zontar Posted June 2, 2017 Report Posted June 2, 2017 HAM isn t ready yet. Too many stadium and legal issues. Hotel space and hospitality questions remain too.
