50th Grey Cup The 50th Grey Cup , also known as the Fog Bowl , was the 1962 Grey Cup Canadian Football League championship game played between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Hamilton Tiger - Cats on 1st December , 1962 at Toronto ' s Exhibition Stadium . It remains the only Grey Cup game ever suspended during play . The Blue Bombers won the game by a score of 28 - 27 . The 1962 Grey Cup game is considered to be one of the ten best Grey Cup games of all time . Fog Bowl . The game started normally on Saturday , December 1 , 1962 . However , by the second quarter , a thick fog started to roll in over the field , a combination of cold , moist , humid air from Lake Ontario . The fog was thick enough that fans could not see the action on the field , receivers lost sight of the ball after it left the quarterbacks ' hand , and punt returner s could not find punts until they hit the ground . The fog became worse as the afternoon wore on , and with 9 minutes and 29 seconds left in the fourth quarter , the game was suspended with Winnipeg leading 28 – 27 . The game continued the following afternoon , but there was no further scoring . Game Summary . The 1962 championship will always be remembered for what the fans could not see . Following a year when the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Hamilton Tiger - Cats made Canadian football history by playing in the first Grey Cup to go to overtime , the two clubs battled again in another memorable meeting . But not because of the play on the field . Just prior to halftime , fog rolled into Exhibition Stadium in Toronto , much to the chagrin of the 32 , 655 in attendance and the millions watching on television across North America . Although not visible to the fans , play was able to continue until the 5 : 31 mark of the fourth quarter . Visibility became so poor that referee Paul Dojack stopped play with Winnipeg leading 28 - 27 . After a 20 - minute delay , CFL commissioner Syd Halter decided that the remainder of the game would be played the following afternoon . The game will be forever known as “ The Fog Bowl ” . The Tiger - Cats drew first blood in the opening quarter when Garney Henley took advantage of some good blocking and sprinted 74 yards for a major . The convert by Don Sutherin was no good , his first of three key errors in the game . A 41 - yard run by Kenny Ploen set up a Leo Lewis touchdown to begin a wild second quarter , giving Winnipeg a 7 - 6 lead . Lewis struck again when he took a handoff , ran wide and threw a 15 - yard pass to Charlie Shepard in the end zone . Hamilton cut the deficit to 14 - 12 , first on a goal - line leap by Bobby Kuntz , then on an 18 - yard touchdown run by Henley following a Winnipeg fumble . Sutherin was only good on one convert however , giving the Ticats a 19 - 14 advantage . Winnipeg regained the lead before halftime when Lewis caught a lateral pass by Funston and ran 30 yards for another major . The Blue Bombers led 21 - 19 at intermission . Hamilton quarterback Joe Zuger came out throwing in the third quarter , completing a 53 - yard strike to Henley , then a 36 - yard touchdown throw to Dave Viti . But Shepard responded with his second major of the game , giving Winnipeg the lead for good . Gerry James added his fourth convert for good measure . The Ticats had an opportunity to regain the lead before the end of the third quarter , but Sutherin missed on a 30 - yard field goal , giving Hamilton just a single point . Both teams were held pointless in the final quarter ( spread over two days ) as the Bombers held on to a 28 - 27 lead to win their fourth title in five years . Trivia . Afternoon fog in Toronto is a rare occurrence , but the Fog Bowl was just one of several weather disasters to occur at Exhibition Stadium . The stadium ' s proximity to Lake Ontario made it susceptible to rapid weather changes and extreme conditions . It remains the site of the only major league baseball game to be played with snow on the field ( ironically , the ' inaugural game on April 7 , 1977 ) , and the only major league baseball game to be suspended due to high wind . The 1982 Grey Cup ( the Rain Bowl ) was played in a driving rain . The limitations of Exhibition Stadium eventually led to the construction of SkyDome , now known as Rogers Centre . During its life as a professional sports stadium , local press and Torontonians often referred to Exhibition Stadium under the moniker " The Mistake by the Lake . "
