Talk:Ottawa Renegades

CFL expansion
Since the League is expanding to Ottawa (again). Does that mean the Renegades will be folded? GoodDay (talk) 22:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * As far as I understand it, it's the same franchise. So in fact the opposite, the team's technically being revived. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 05:03, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * With the new group being forced to pay expansion fees again. I would say that the Renegades are dead and the new team is a separate expansion club. In any case I believe the new ownership group is treating them as a separate franchise, disavowing any connections with the Renegades (or the Rough Riders for that matter).

This issue won't be settled until they announce the name of the team. Even with the expansion fee, if they call themselves Renegades it is a continuation.Lord Cornwallis (talk) 03:39, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

My understanding is that this IS a separate CFL franchise, and that the Ottawa Renegades are dead. Jru Gordon (talk) 17:23, 19 September 2008 (UTC)


 * My understanding is that the Renegades franchise was revoked by the CFL from the previous owners and now held by the CFL, which has suspended its operations. The fee, as I understand it, is for purchase of the franchise not technically speaking an expansion fee. The CFL has always intended to simply find a new owner for the Ottawa team.

Which is the most likely scenario?
"This makes the future of a team in Ottawa an uncertain one, because if it is decided to demolish the stadium, an Ottawa team would be without a stadium until another is built, and would have to play at a smaller venue in Ottawa or in another Ontario town such as Kingston, which has a stadium (Richardson Memorial Stadium) that could be raised to the CFL minimum of 25,000 seats, and has hosted a Grey Cup game before, or the most likely scenario, the Ottawa Renegades will stay suspended for the foreseeable future until a new stadium is built[4] or the team will be folded outright." Aside from the fact that this sentence is extremely long and complicated, it is simply unclear. You cannot say "this is the most likely scenario" and then follow with two different scenarios. --Khajidha (talk) 11:29, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
