  • HKS Inc. designed Mosaic Stadium. They also worked on AT&T Stadium and Lucas Oil Stadium.
  • The Alouettes stadium has a trapezoid-like end zone.
  • The BC Lions have the only domed stadium.

There are nine teams in the CFL, and with that, there are teams founded at different points in time, and thus, the stadiums differ somewhat mightily.

One stadium opened in 2017, and another was built over 60 years ago, and each increases a team’s CFL odds of winning on its home turf.

Below, I’ll rank each CFL stadium based on my personal preferences.

1. Saskatchewan Roughriders – Mosaic Stadium

Opening on July 1, 2017, Mosaic Stadium is the newest stadium in the CFL and home to the Roughriders. It cost $278 million to build, and the modern look is incredibly appealing to the eye. 

HKS Inc. designed the stadium. This is important because they worked on AT&T Stadium and Lucas Oil Stadium in the NFL. 

The partial roof does enough to shield attendees while giving them an authentic outdoor football experience while sitting in the unique green seats. 

2. Toronto Argonauts – BMO Field

The Argonauts share a field with Toronto FC of the MLS, and the colour scheme reflects that of the soccer team. 

Besides that, the soccer stadium feels quite open and has a modern look and feel. Its multi-use nature allows for a unique viewing experience. 

I’m also a sucker for a stadium right off the coast of a body of water, which is the case here. Depending on where you sit, it makes for an even better viewing experience. 

3. BC Lions – BC Place

Hey, it’s quite cold in Canada, and BC Place is the only domed stadium. While I like the lakeside stadiums, having one indoors allows games to be devoid of the natural elements and gives the players on the field the best opportunity to perform. 

So, with BC Place, I’m willing to sacrifice some modern indoor appearance for what could lead to excellent offence on the field. 

4. Winnipeg Blue Bombers – Princess Auto Stadium

Another modern-looking stadium is the newly-named Princess Auto Stadium. The name change came in April 2024. 

This feels somewhat similar to where the Seattle Seahawks of the NFL play with the unique roof designs. The seating also feels compact and goes all around the stadium in a way that makes you feel closer to the action. 

It also helps that the Blue Bombers have been to every Grey Cup since 2019. 

This stadium has also hosted NHL games, including the Heritage Classic in 2016, in which the Winnipeg Jets lost to the Edmonton Oilers. 

5. Edmonton Elks – Commonwealth Stadium

The scattered paint-looking seating colour scheme makes this incredibly appealing. Additionally, the placement of the Elks logo extending nearly across the entire field is unique, unlike a turned logo that’s more centred on the field. 

The only issue is that the first-row seats feel far from the field. 

This stadium shined in 2023, hosting the seventh game in the Heritage Classic series between the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames of the NHL. 

6. Ottawa Redblacks – TD Place Stadium

Like Commonwealth, TD Place Stadium also has limited seating behind each endzone, but the roof design is unique.

One side has a straight roof design, protecting fans from elements, but it could obstruct some views. 

On the side, there’s a NASCAR-like fence, which makes this one of the more interestingly designed stadiums. 

7. Hamilton Tiger-Cats – Tim Hortons Field

Commonwealth Stadium feels somewhat like Acrisure Stadium, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers, thanks to the seating colour scheme and the openness from endzone to endzone. Acrisure has seating whereas Commonwealth doesn’t, but the openness allows passersby to look over during game days and perhaps get a glimpse of the action. 

8. Montreal Alouettes – Percival Molson Memorial Stadium

While I’m all for unique stadium designs, I’m not a fan of the quirky endzones. This happened during the brief CFL expansion in the 1990s with the Memphis Mad Dogs, and I don’t enjoy the lack of uniformity in this stadium. 

The stadium feels more compact, which is OK, especially with fun architecture toward the right end zone (if you’re looking for a bird’s eye view of the stadium with the Alouettes logo facing toward you). 

Ultimately, the end zone kills it for me. 

9. Calgary Stampeders – McMahon Stadium

Sometimes, old stadiums can have charm, but that’s not the case with McMahon Stadium. It was built in 1960, and while there were two renovations, the most recent was close to 20 years ago. 

This feels like a high-budget high school field as opposed to a professional football stadium/venue.
