99th Grey Cup: A Small Preview.


The oldest professional football trophy in north America will be awarded this Sunday as the Lions and Bombers are ready for themselves to tackle on 60 more minutes to their season.

It's been five years since the Lions won the Grey Cup while the Bombers, whose last Grey Cup appearance was in 2007, haven't won since 1990. One of the longest droughts in the league.

However it's the crowd that will make the difference, for the first time since 2008, the host venue will have the host team in the game as the Lions will play in the newly-refurbished BC Place Stadium, which took over a year since the closing of the Olympics in February 2010. The new BC Place, which reopened this year, is complete with a flat-screen video board at center field, almost similar to Cowboys Stadium.

The game will be LIVE and exclusive to TSN and ESPN3 Sunday night.
