The following is a statement from the Canadian Football League regarding today’s pre-season game at McMahon Stadium:
The first pre-season game of the season featuring the Edmonton Elks and the Calgary Stampeders has been delayed by 30 minutes due to additional time needed to monitor the air quality and to ensure both teams have ample time to warm up. The game will now kick off at 2:30 p.m. MDT.
The decision to delay the game in consideration of the weather protocol was made by the league, both competing teams and the CFLPA.
The weather protocol was jointly developed by the CFL and the Management Council comprising Club Presidents to address in-game situations where the safety of players, officials and fans may be affected by inclement weather.
The league will continue to monitor the situation leading up to and during the game.
