The 83rd Grey Cup game is also called "The Wind Bowl", due to very strong winds gusting to 85 km/h in Regina on November 19, 1995.

From 1993 to 1995, the CFL had a total of 7 U.S based teams, but they failed to gain popularity in the U.S., and by 1996 the CFL was again completely based in Canada.

Answer: Winnipeg Blue Bombers

This was the first Grey Cup game that saw Saskatchewan face Winnipeg. The game was sold out with an attendance of 52,230. Kent Austin, who played quarterback for the Roughriders in the 1980s and in the 1989 Grey Cup, coached the team to victory in 2007, before once again returning to the United States.

Answer: Montreal Alouettes

The Saskatchewan Roughriders are known to have the most loyal fans in the CFL. Their fans have been called "The 13th Man", because they can make so much noise that they can make a difference in the performance of the Roughriders and can be a detriment to other teams.

However, in this Grey Cup game, "The 13th Man" ended up being a curse, as Damon Duval of the Montreal Alouettes missed a field goal to win the game in the last seconds. But, the Riders had one too many men on the field at the time.

Hence, the field goal was attempted for the second time and Duval was successful. The Roughriders ended up losing to the Allouettes by a score of 28-27. The 97th Grey Cup was also the most watched Grey Cup with approximately 6.1 million viewers.
