CFL News in 1987

The Canadian Football League celebrated the 75th Annual Grey Cup game at BC Place Stadium on Sunday, November 29.

The Canadian Football Network, which was a syndicate of Canadian television stations was created. The CFL experimented with their blackout policy by blacking out four televised games in both, Hamilton and Toronto (two in Hamilton and two in Toronto).

Game rosters were revised from 35 to 34 that included 19-Non-Imports, 13-Imports and 2-Quarterbacks. The reserve list was increased from three to four.

The Montreal Alouettes folded for the second time on June 24th. With the team's demise the CFL revised the season schedule and moved the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to the East Division.

The playoff format reverted back to its pre-1986 format.
