Redblacks hope for more home success against West-leading Stampeders
OTTAWA — The Calgary Stampeders have not felt all that welcome in the nation’s capital over the past few CFL seasons.
The West-leading Stampeders haven’t won a game Ottawa since a 32-7 victory in the Redblacks’ inaugural season in 2014. They’ve gone 0-1-2 At TD Place against the Redblacks since, and suffered a devastating 27-24 Grey Cup loss to Toronto at the stadium last fall.
But while the Redblacks would like to think home field will serve as an advantage again when they host Calgary on Thursday, they’re more concerned with their most recent performance against the Stamps.
The two teams met two weeks ago in Calgary, with the Stampeders getting the better of the Redblacks with a 24-14 victory. Ottawa feels it might have been its own worst enemy that night.
