CFL News in 1994

The CFL admitted three more U.S.-based teams with the Las Vegas Posse, the Shreveport Pirates and the Baltimore Colts - making it 12 teams in total, six in each division. However, the Colts name was revoked from the Baltimore franchise due to NFL pressure and played the entire season as the "Baltimore CFLers". The new teams would start play in 1994, with Las Vegas joining the Sacramento Gold Miners in the West Division and with Baltimore and Shreveport joining the East Division.

In February, Bruce M. Firestone purchased the Ottawa Rough Riders from the Glieberman family. In May, the JLL Broadcast Group purchased the Toronto Argonauts.

BC Place Stadium played host to the Grey Cup game on Sunday, November 27th, making Vancouver the host city for the twelfth time-more than any other Western Canadian city. In the Grey Cup game, the hometown B.C. Lions were against the Baltimore Football Club, becoming the first ever Grey Cup game between a Canadian team and an American team. The Lions ended up defeating the Baltimore team by a score of 26-23, on Lui Passaglia's game-winning field goal in the final seconds of the game.

In a July 14, 1994 matchup of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Edmonton Eskimos, Matt Dunigan passed for a remarkable 713 yards, setting the CFL record that still stands (as of 2006).[link]
