On February 23, the Sacramento Gold Miners were announced as the CFL's ninth franchise, during the league's annual meetings in Hamilton.
The team began play in 1993 at Hornet Stadium in Sacramento, California.
Calgary also played host to the Grey Cup game for only the second time in history on Sunday, November 28.
In that game, the Edmonton Eskimos defeated the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, 33–23 before a crowd of 50,035.
[1] This season was rare in CFL history in that no single player gained 1,000 yards rushing.
