HMMM...USA NEEDS 4 DOWNS TO GET THE SAME DISTANCE AS CANADIAN PLAYERS....WHO ONLI NEED 3....I ASSUME B/C THEM MERCANS ARENT VERY GOOD AT THE GAME.....AND EVEN ON A SMALLER FIELD........GUESS THEM MERCANS... JUSS AINT VERY GOOD AT IT.....YET

"4 DOWNS TO GET THE SAME DISTANCE"

Close but downs are 10 metres instead of yards and the field is 100 metres instead of yards.

I DONT RECALL THEM CHANGING THE ACTUAL SIZE OF CANADIAN FIELDS... JUST THE UNIT OF MEASUREMENT USED TO CALCULATE THE SIZE...but i could be wrong..

You can study the differences here.. If you are so inclined.

The Grey Cup is the trophy awarded to the champion of the Canadian Football League. The game was played today and Calgary beat Montreal 22-14. The trophy was produced by Birks Jewellers and has been part of Canadian sports since 1909, when it was donated by the Governor General of Canada, Lord Earl Grey, for the Canadian football championship. Now the pagans can rest.
