I need some CFL teams for my fantasy league.  We'll use the Schooners and Quebec, possibly the voyaguers.  For a 12th team considering either Portland, Anchorage, Victoria, Thunder Bay, Sudbury, Windsor.  I wouldn't mind taking Thunder Bay it is Green Bay sized anyway.  I need to think of a good team name.

I am not imagining a world where a city or the CFL could afford to build new stadiums for CFL in the USA, so there has to be a stadium in place that with some adjustments could hold a CFL field.  That means mostly football or soccer stadiums, which rules out cities like Milwaukee and Omaha, which only have large-ish baseball stadiums, and some smaller cities such as Duluth, which is both way smaller than even Halifax and also does not have a stadium capable of holding even 15k. 

 

So, we are looking for cities with populations of about 500k or more, and with a football stadium of at least 18,000 but less than 60,000.  It makes the options list a lot smaller, doesn't it?

 

 

 

What about the Milwaukee Mile? The Packers played in the infield of the race track until County Stadium was built.

Albuquerque should also be considered for potential CFL expansion.  The Duke City is known for its annual balloon fiesta. Can you design a uniform for the Albuquerque Aeronauts that would feature turquoise? 
 

And St. Louis might also be considered for CFL expansion.
