The CFL realigns along real and created classic matchups heading into Labour Day Weekend.
The Alouettes are on their "regular" Thursday Night Football rotation as Montréal welcomes the BC Lions, a team coming off the bye.
The prairie battle traditionally on the Sunday before Labour Day features two struggling teams with the Blue Bombers in Regina.
The traditional Labour Day doubleheader is in place with the Argos in Hamilton and the Esks in Calgary. All 4 teams are very good this season.
The Ottawa RedBlacks get to sit back like the rest of us and watch a lot of football this holiday weekend.

Large crowds at Grey Cup games may be growing infrequent in coming seasons. The newer fields are designed for intimacy, not numbers. This year's Grey Cup in Winnipeg was aiming for 41,000, a somewhat low number for a modern Grey Cup.
However, the north end of the field, which was to hold extra people, will now hold the entertainment portions. So the 41,000 mark will drop to 36,634. Regular capacity for Investors Group Field is about 33,000.
Last week's TSN commentators:
MTL-HAM: Black/Forde
TOR-EDM: Cuthbert/Suitor
CGY-WPG: Miller/Dunigan
SSK-OTT: Black/Forde

This is very helpful. Thanks, Tyler. The only non-TV game in the States was the game for Miller and Dunigan.
