Tacoma Bluejays

The Tacoma Bluejays (sometimes misspelled as 'Blue Jays') were introduced into the CFL conference in 1989. Trying to take advantage of the exploding interest of football on the West coast, and the inability to secure an international team in Vancouver, BC, the team settled in as a cross-town rivalry to the Seattle Seagulls, but made their own name in the CFL West.
Tacoma has reached the Championship level, but never a Pro-Team Bowl; their 2010 season was their closest opportunity, under the helm of Curtis Vickers. Vickers became a free agent after the season, and, being unable to come to terms with a new contract, became a free agent and signed with Charlotte. Markus Lagunov, who was born in Belarus but grew up in Pittsburgh, now leads the team at Quarterback. He has only been moderately successful. Dutchman Seb de Graaf is the Bluejays' 4th coach, taking over in 2008.
The Bluejays play in the Plexodome, one of the most interesting domes architecturally in the league. It features a glass panel roof, 4 staggered levels of seating (of various sizes and heights for different species seating - a league first), and the ability to raise or lower entire rows of seats, depending on the need.
