CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie says making sure Atlantic Canadians feel welcome is a big focus of the league, whether or not a franchise ends up on the East Coast.

Schooners Sports and Entertainment is laying the groundwork to try to land a franchise, but there’s still plenty of work to do.

“There’s an effort being made to really look at the stadium model,” said Ambrosie. “There are two sites I’m familiar with that are being looked at. The stadium site issue is what Halifax regional council referenced in their announcement — they will provide financial support for the stadium, but not for where it was originally proposed. Yes, it’s quiet right now, but that’s because lots of work is being done.”

Ambrosie is in the middle of Randy’s Road Trip. In a tour across the country (the final date is March 11 in Toronto) speaking to CFL audiences, Ambrosie made his third stop Thursday in Hamilton. Halifax is up next on Sunday.
