Rumours say a regular-season CFL game will be played in Halifax this summer, the league will officially announce the game today.
It is expected that the Saskatchewan Roughriders will play against the Toronto Argonauts at Huskies Stadium at Saint Mary’s University on Saturday, July 25th.
It will be the first regular-season game played at Saint Mary’s. The CFL held an exhibition contest there in 2005. I worked that game fifteen years ago putting the music soundtrack to the game, it was a beautiful sunny day until kick off when the fog rolled in for the 10,000 fans at SMU.
Schooners Sports and Entertainment (SSE), a group trying to secure a CFL expansion franchise for Halifax, will again sponsor the game, it did so last year as well in Moncton.
Let’s hope for a great CFL game and Halifax experience!
