CFL Argos Draw Record Crowd, Will Face Stampeders In Grey Cup

A crowd of 24,929 attended the CFL Toronto Argonauts' home playoff game yesterday against the Saskatchewan Roughriders at BMO Field, "the best in two seasons for the Argos there and big for a team that averaged a CFL-low 13,913 in the regular season." The Argos' win places them in next Sunday's Grey Cup game, their first appearance in the CFL title game since '12 (CP, 11/19). This was the "biggest Argos crowd at BMO Field" to date, and "only chucks" of the crowd were wearing green in support of the Roughriders (TORONTO STAR, 11/20).

Meanwhile, the Calgary Stampeders advanced to their second straight Grey Cup with a win over the Edmonton Eskimos at McMahon Stadium, where the "announced attendance was 30,116" (CP, 11/19).
