The '1994
Canadian Football League season' is considered to be the 41st season in modern-day
Canadian football, although it is officially the 37th Canadian Football League season.
CFL News in 1994
The
CFL admitted three more
U.S.-based teams with the
Las Vegas Posse, the
Shreveport Pirates and the
Baltimore Colts - making it 12 teams in total, six in each division. However, the Colts name was revoked from the
Baltimore franchise due to
NFL pressure and played the entire season as the "Baltimore CFLers". The new teams would start play in 1994, with
Las Vegas joining the
Sacramento Gold Miners in the
West Division and with Baltimore and
Shreveport joining the
East Division.
In February,
Bruce M. Firestone purchased the
Ottawa Rough Riders from the
Glieberman family. In May, the
JLL Broadcast Group purchased the
Toronto Argonauts.
BC Place Stadium played host to the
Grey Cup game on Sunday,
November 27th, making
Vancouver the host city for the twelfth time-more than any other
Western Canadian city. In the Grey Cup game, the hometown
B.C. Lions were against the Baltimore CFLers, becoming the first ever Grey Cup game between a
Canadian team and an
American team. The Lions ended up defeating the Baltimore team by a score of 26-23, on
Lui Passaglia's game-winning field goal in the final seconds of the game.
'
Records:' In a
July 14,
1994 matchup of the
