At the time, CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie said there was nothing to confirm but he was hoping an announcement would be made within a couple of weeks.

Later that same day, Stamps president/GM John Hufnagel confirmed the Stamps were hoping to host the big game.

“We’re in the process of making a bid and hopefully the league will make a decision in the very near future,” Hufnagel said.

Wednesday’s announcement at the Shaw Court building will have Ambrosie and Hufnagel in attendance, as well as Calgary Tourism CEO Cindy Ady, Alberta Culture and Tourism Minister Ricardo Miranda and Shaw Communications CEO Brad Shaw.

The last time Calgary hosted the Grey Cup was in 2009.
