CFL News in 1995

Two more U.S.-based teams were admitted in the CFL with the Birmingham Barracudas and the Memphis Mad Dogs. In the off-season the Sacramento Gold Miners moved to San Antonio, to become the "Texans" for the 1995 season. The San Antonio Texans would play their home games at the Alamodome. The Las Vegas Posse after a terrible inaugural season, ceased operations and folded.

With the admittance of Birmingham and Memphis, the CFL now had five U.S.-based teams in the newly-created "South Division", while having all eight Canadian teams in the newly-created "North Division". 5 teams from the North division and 3 from the South made the playoffs. To make up for the disparagy, the lowest ranking North divison playoff team (which ended up being Winnipeg) played in the South division playoffs.

The city of Regina played host to the Grey Cup game for the first time. In the game, viewers at home and at Taylor Field witnessed the Baltimore Stallions defeat the Calgary Stampeders, 37-20, becoming the first (and as of now, the only) American team to win the Grey Cup.
