Maybe someone can add a picture of the Varsity Stadium in Toronto because it has hosted the most cup matches; or Olympic Stadium in Montreal because holds the top attendance records. Donutcity ( talk) 22:21, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
this section could really stand to be expanded. it warrants a whole page if anyone feels like doing the work. a separate page could cover team records, individual records, quarter and half time records; yardage, kicking, scoring etc. Donutcity ( talk) 22:17, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
This article, which is supposed to be about the Grey Cup (and not the Grey Cup television broadcast) has a list of the halftime performances but not a list of who won the cup? I understand that there is a link to that list, but the list of halftime performances is totally irrelevant. -- DMac ( talk) 16:07, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
I agree, this should be on a separate page if it is even retained. Rather than an incomplete table, it could be replaced on this page by a paragraph that summaries in brief the type of entertainment one can expect. i assume most tv viewers change the channel and most people in the stadium go to the can. Donutcity ( talk) 22:14, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
Does this air on American television ( ESPN)? 72.174.134.72 ( talk) 04:54, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
I don't know about renaming it, but maybe it wouldn't be quite so Grey if they would polish the durn thing, don'cha know, eh? Wahkeenah 03:26, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
I suggest that we organize the table of games into a table similar to the one at Vanier Cup. --Zippanova 14:53, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
I remember seeing on tv how the grey cup has such a tradition of being broken. This and a bunch of other things need to be added to this article since it has so much history eh. The Stanley Cup page is a great example and I think this page should be similar Canking 23:56, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
They should talk about the theft and stuff like that so if u r doin a project this page can actually help!-- Gm9 18:47, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
The most practical reason for not including the list of cup games, winners etc is that there have been 98 of them! the list is really long and would weigh this page down. There is a paragraph of information about cup winners on this page, but perhaps a table or list could be made with like Most Wins, Most Appearances etc. One does exist on the page List of Grey Cup Champions already. the editors seem to dislike even the slightest hint of duplication. Donutcity ( talk) 22:11, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
Just wondering why the Ottawa Roughriders were excluded from the table of win/loss/appearances? I know the caption says "active" franchises but it seems like it should include all that played in the professional era. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DWiatzka ( talk • contribs) 00:25, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
Is it now safe to say, that image won't be deleted? GoodDay ( talk) 15:20, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
what the hell - That is NOT the Grey Cup in that photo. and yet over here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1956_Grey_Cup_victory.jpg the guy is chugging out of that same trophy as in the Joe Clark photo... Are there 2 Grey Cups? Plargo ( talk • contribs) 18:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
Egads, this page is in need of some SEVERE editing! Some sentences just don't make sense! 198.103.134.222 ( talk) 14:22, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
I was there and I recall that it was a song-and-dance routine featuring the various CFL cheerleaders. There was no prominent musician involved, but someone has listed "Brook Wong" as the halftime act. Was this someone who actually performed, or is this merely vandalism? -- 74.216.10.165 ( talk) 03:54, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Not being Canadian, I would like to ask for someone more knowledgable to add information on the Grey Cup itself? For example, what is the size and weight of the Cup? Is the current Cup still the original one, first issued in 1909? And what about adding new bands, like the Stanley Cup? The article does mention "new plates" being added to the base in 2008, but nothing more. Elsquared ( talk) 08:35, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

The Baltimore Stallions article has an unsourced statement saying the team averaged "37,347 in 1994 (first in the CFL) and 30,112 in 1995 (second in the CFL)." Assuming these are home attendance figures and the same number of games were played, the numbers don't average to 35,000. Since it doesn't have a source, it is at the moment less reliable than the statement in this article. However, is anyone aware of reliable seasonal attendance numbers for the CFL in 1994 and 1995? (The numbers at [1] and [2] match those in the Stallions article, but I'm unclear if this site should be considered reliable.) isaacl ( talk) 18:44, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
According to the Canadian Football League article, "In 1956, the IRFU and WIFU formed a new umbrella organization, the Canadian Football Council (CFC), and in 1958, the CFC left the CRU, becoming the Canadian Football League." Can anyone confirm that the CFC was part of the CRU until it became the CFL? If it is true, then I'd like to include the CFC leaving the CRU in this article. isaacl ( talk) 03:09, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
Regarding this recent edit, according to the cited reference on the Canadian Football Hall of Fame site, the trophy was donated as an "award for the amateur rugby football championship of Canada." I'm not sure how literally this statement should be interpreted (it isn't very assertive in its wording); has anyone come across other statements on the purpose of the donated trophy? isaacl ( talk) 14:53, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
My usual practice is to link to terms the first time they are referred to in a section, to make it easier for readers to find an appropriate link with minimal disruption to their current place in the article; I see though that this has gone out of fashion at Wikipedia's style guidelines for linking and, naturally with all such minor formatting issues, it has engendered a large debate on the corresponding talk page. isaacl ( talk) 16:28, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
The attendance figures from the referenced newspapers disagree with the figures from the 2011 Grey Cup record book which is also used as a reference. In general, I would prefer to rely on the official CFL statistics for the basic objective facts of the games. Would you have any objection to adding a note for the Toronto and Ottawa number of games hosted as a reminder that they each hosted a game of the 28th Grey Cup in 1940? I realize this is a contradiction in my requests as the CFL doesn't note it in its similar table. But for a while I was confused as to why there have been 100 host cities for only 99 Cups. 99.246.116.118 ( talk) 04:35, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
