Grey Cup week kicks into high gear as players start to arrive in Regina

By The Canadian Press on November 15, 2022.

REGINA – Grey Cup week in Regina kicked into high gear with the arrival of the CFL championship combatants.

The Toronto Argonauts touched down in Saskatchewan’s capital city ahead of the two-time defending champion Winnipeg Blue Bombers scheduled to arrive later.

The Bombers will pursue a three-peat Sunday at Mosaic Stadium, while the Argos are looking for their first title since 2017.

The last team to win three in a row was Edmonton during a run of five straight from 1978 to 1982.

Regina is hosting the Grey Cup for the fourth time since 1995, but it’s the first time at the new Mosaic Stadium that opened in 2017.

Regina was the host city in 2020, but the championship game was called off because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
