While CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie isn’t going to throw a guaranteed Grey Cup game into the mix for any potential owner of the Montreal Alouettes, he says the city would be a great host for the national championship.

With the next three Grey Cups in Calgary, Regina and Hamilton, in that order, the school of thought is Montreal will get the 2022 game — and maybe it will.

“One of the cities that has a capacity to take a Grey Cup to the next level is Montreal because of the size of Olympic Stadium,” said Ambrosie. “The Grey Cup game is something we definitely have in mind for Montreal.”

As for a potential new owner, reports say brothers Peter and Jeff Lenkov, who grew up just outside of Montreal and live in California, are still in the mix. Coming forward again Thursday was potential buyer Clifford Starke, who has added former CFLer Eric Lapointe as an adviser.

The CFL took over ownership of the Als from Bob and Andrew Wetenhall last month, with reports suggesting the franchise lost $12.5 million last season.
