I played briefly (very briefly) in Canada and the three downs and 110 yard field takes some getting used to. If the field looks crowded, its because there are 12 men on the field!
There is a lot of snow coming down too, making this the first snowy Grey Cup since 1996.
The Canadian Football League season runs a little earlier than the NFL, starting in July and ending in November. That is to avoid the awful weather of the Great White North's winter. Sometimes the snow hits anyway!
I have always been surprised by the amount of passing in Canadian football, especially considering the whether. That is what happens when you have three downs instead of four. It can come as a bit of a shock when you grow up with Pittsburgh-style smashmouth football.
When it comes to things Canadian, I'm a Westerner, so GO CALGARY!!!
