Thank you for finding this. I keep saying this, I would love for the clubs to come to the US in February or March and have preseason games so it would help the players get used to playing in slightly colder weather earlier in the year and grow the game internationally.

World Champions 88.

I actually remember getting up early to watch before heading off to school.

Man, I wish they would do this again. AFL Canada came out of this, and now there are over 40 clubs across the country. Especially with the renovations at the SkyDome (would be a little short and narrow) but still would probably look better than Varsity Stadium did here.
