CFL to confirm 2010 Cup headed to Edmonton
EDMONTON -- The Edmonton Eskimos have called a news conference for Tuesday
afternoon where they are expected to confirm they'll host the 2010 Grey Cup.
Rumours surfaced late last month that Edmonton would host the Cup, following on
the heels of the 2009 Grey Cup this November in Calgary.
Canadian Football League commissioner Mark Cohon, Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach
and Edmonton Mayor Stephen Mandel will all be on hand for the announcement at
Commonwealth Stadium, which coincides with the Eskimos annual general meeting.
Eskimos director of marketing Dave Jamieson would not confirm the rumour last
month, but at the time said he wasn't surprised to hear Edmonton was being
suggested as the host city, adding: "Given the success of the last three (in
Edmonton) we're eager to host another one."
