Cfl Grey Cup Tickets

The inaugural season of the league was played in 1958. However, the history of the Grey Cup dates back to 1909. This cup is the legacy of the Canadian governor general, Earl Grey who was the first to take the initiative to create the trophy. After its inception, the trophy was made available as a prize for the national champions of Canadian Football. The Grey Cup is the second oldest trophy in North America. Teams in the Canadian league are divided into two groups of four which play in two separate divisions namely the West and the East Division.

The Grey Cup championship game is the country’s biggest television and sports event and is known to draw in an average of four million viewers in Canada. The top-tier teams and players that compete in the league have their own individual legions of fans. Toronto Argonauts has won the most number of championships amounting to 16 titles. They are the current defending champions and at last year’s final they managed to overpower the Calgary Stampeders with a final score of 35-22. This year every team of the league has its eyes on the prize. However, defeating the Argonauts would not be an easy task as they maintain the most impressive winning percentage of .727 among all the eight teams of the CFL.

In the upcoming season, teams to look out for include the 2011 winners, BC Lions, the 10-times champions Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the 13-times champions, Edmonton Eskimos. The teams of the CFL are packed full of talented players. Some big names in the CFL are Anthony Calvillo, Chad Kackert, Travis Lulay and numerous others. Calvillo is the current quarterback for the Montreal Alouettes and some of his astounding achievements include his top position in all-time CFL passing yards record. Apart from this, Anthony also tops the professional football list of all-time passing yards surpassing names like Peyton Manning and Dan Marino of the NFL. Kackert is the recipient of last year’s Grey Cups Most Valuable Player Award whereas Lulay won both the MVP and CFL’s Most Outstanding Player Awards in 2011.

The match is scheduled to take place at the Mosaic Stadium in Saskatchewan, Canada.
