Power outage tonight at Hard Rock in Ottawa. Cut off what was a fantastic set by The Fab 4, a really good Beatles cover band. People were ushered out after the audience did a Yesterday sing-a-long with lights out. Several of the slot machines also went dark.

Unfortunately, due to the forecasted weather conditions this evening, tonight's planned flyover has been cancelled.
While we're disappointed to miss this Home Opener tradition, we can't wait to welcome RNation to TD Place tonight as we kick off the 2026 season together!

Ryan Dinwiddie says RB Greg Bell is dealing with some stiffness in his neck. That’s why he’s a late scratch. Expect a 1-2 punch of Elijah Collins and Daniel Adeboboye tomorrow vs Edmonton.

Because he is listed on reserve, Greg Bell could still be activated and play tomorrow for #Redblacks.

Hearing the #CFL new six-year broadcast agreement, everything combined, is worth about $500 million. That's very very significant. Not only does the deal continue the league's longstanding partnership with Bell Media but adds DAZN and YouTube as partners. Solid deal all around.
