It was stated by the Ottawa Redblacks ownership group, Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, that one of the clauses in their expansion agreement was that the club would host a Grey Cup game within their first four years of existence. Since the Redblacks entered the league in 2014, 2017 would be the fourth such year. Ottawa had previously been awarded the 102nd Grey Cup but backed out due to construction delays ; that game would be held in Vancouver instead. During an Ottawa Redblacks game on July 31, 2016, it was announced in a video featuring Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that the city of Ottawa had been selected to host the 105th Grey Cup, in part to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Canada. This will be the seventh time that the Grey Cup game will be played in Ottawa, with each of those games being played at Lansdowne Park. The most recent game hosted by Ottawa was when the Ottawa Renegades hosted the 92nd Grey Cup in 2004, when the Toronto Argonauts defeated the BC Lions. Redblacks president, Jeff Hunt, stated that approximately 10,000 temporary seats would be added to TD Place Stadium, bringing seating capacity to about 35,000. In early May, more than six months before the game, the Redblacks announced that fewer than 6,000 of the original 35,000 tickets were yet to be sold. Due to ticket demand, the Redblacks added additional temporary bleachers in September to bring capacity to approximately 36,000 and the game officially sold out on October 26. Teams Calgary Stampeders Main article : 2017 Calgary Stampeders season The Stampeders finished the regular season with a record of 13 -- 4 -- 1, once again placing as the top team in the West Division. They became the first team in the league to clinch a playoff spot in Week 14 of the regular season with a 15 - 9 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The Stampeders entered the playoffs on a losing streak, losing three in a row for the first time since 2007. As the first place team in the West, the Stampeders received a bye in the first round of the playoffs and hosted the Western Final on November 19 against the third place Edmonton Eskimos. The Stampeders won the game 32 - 28 in a closely contested game that featured a controversial play by the Eskimos, who late in the fourth quarter opted to kick a field goal in the hopes that they could recover the ball, instead of tying the game with a touchdown. Calgary maintained possession until the end of the game to clinch victory. Toronto Argonauts Main article : 2017 Toronto Argonauts season The Argonauts placed first in the East Division with a 9 -- 9 record and returned to the playoffs after having missed them the previous season. The Argos entered the season with a new head coach in Marc Trestman, the former head coach of the Montreal Alouettes and the NFL 's Chicago Bears. The team 's resurgence was led by quarterback Ricky Ray, who completed the 2017 regular season having thrown for 5,546 yards and 28 touchdowns. Despite the team 's success on the field, the team averaged only 13,914 fans per home game at BMO Field, which was down from the previous year. As the first place team in the East, the Argos hosted the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the Eastern Final after the Riders, as a crossover team, defeated the Ottawa Redblacks in the Semi-Final. The Argos won the close game 25 - 21 after scoring a touchdown with 23 seconds left in the game. It was the first time the Argos had won the Eastern Final since 2012, the last time they won the Grey Cup. Head - to - head Calgary and Toronto met twice during the 2017 regular season, with Calgary winning both games. Their first meeting took place during Week 7 in Toronto and saw the Stampeders win 41 -- 24. Three weeks later during Week 10 the teams met again in Calgary, with the Stampeders winning 23 -- 7. It was the fourth Grey Cup match - up between the two teams, the last being in 2012. The teams had also faced off in the 1971 and 1991 Grey Cups, with Calgary winning in 1971 and Toronto winning in 1991 and 2012. In addition, the Argonauts victory in the game was the first time they beat the Calgary Stampeders in a game since September 2013, a 33 -- 27 outcome favouring the Argonauts in that affair. During the week leading up to the game, the mayors of Toronto and Calgary, John Tory ( who was the CFL commissioner from 1996 - 2000 ) and Naheed Nenshi, placed a friendly bet on the game 's outcome, with the losing city 's mayor having to donate to charity, wear the winning team 's jersey at the next city council meeting, and send the other a selection of local craft beer. Game summary Toronto won the opening coin toss and opted to defer to the second half. Calgary chose to receive the ball to start the game. The game was played in snowy conditions, with snow beginning to fall prior to kickoff and persisting throughout the game. Neither team was capable of sustaining a drive down the field throughout much of the first quarter until eleven minutes into the game, when Stampeders quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell connected with Kamar Jorden to score the game 's first touchdown, and the only score of the first quarter. Calgary missed the subsequent attempt at a two - point conversion to put themselves up 6 -- 0. The Argos started the second quarter off with a bang as DeVier Posey caught a pass from Toronto quarterback Ricky Ray at the team 's 44 - yard line and ran the ball down the field for a 100 yard touchdown to tie the game at 6 -- 6 after an unsuccessful convert. It was the longest touchdown pass in Grey Cup history. Calgary would respond five minutes later with a touchdown by running back Jerome Messam and a successful two - point convert to put themselves up by eight. While the Argos would not score again in the second quarter, they did receive two points thanks to a safety by Calgary punter Rob Maver, who kicked the ball out of the back of the endzone after a fumbled snap during a punt attempt. Rene Paredes would kick a field goal with five seconds left in the quarter to put the Stampeders up 17 -- 8 at the half. Toronto opened the scoring in the second half four minutes into the third quarter with a two yard touchdown by running back James Wilder Jr. and a successful two - point conversion to bring the score to 17 -- 16. Jerome Messam would find the endzone again for the Stampeders roughly five minutes later to put the Stampeders up 24 -- 16 alongside a successful conversion by Parades. The Stampeders would protect this lead into the fourth quarter and appeared on their way to victory until the Argonauts ' Cassius Vaughn capitalized on a fumble at his team 's nine - yard line and returned the ball for a Grey Cup record setting 109 yards for a touchdown, followed by a two - point convert by Declan Cross to tie the game up 24 -- 24 with under five minutes to play in regulation. With 53 seconds left in the game, Argos kicker Lirim Hajrullahu kicked the team 's lone field goal of the game to put Toronto up 27 -- 24. Calgary made it to the redzone on their final drive of the game, but Argo Matt Black clinched the game for his team after intercepting a potential touchdown - pass from Mitchell on Calgary 's final play of the game.
