Ten thousand football fans packed into Acadia University's Raymond Field to watch the Toronto Argonauts beat the Saskatchewan Roughriders in a 30-24 victory, doubling the town's population.

It was a day more than two years in the making, and a big one for the small town of Wolfville, Nova Scotia.

The game saw Wynton McManis return an interception by 50 yards for a touchdown that pushed the Argonauts to victory.“It’s like a mini Grey Cup, but it’s amazing because all of the provinces come together,” said one attendee.His son, Brett Lauther, is from Truro and played as the kicker for the Roughriders.Lauther’s excitement was shared by Bruce MacKellar, whose son, Gregor MacKeller, was the Argonauts’ first round pick this year.

The CFL only reaches as far east as Montreal. A long-time push to start a team in Atlantic Canada has never materialized.
