 The only year they missed the Grey Cup during that span was 1976, when the Saskatchewan Roughriders defeated them in the West Final.Edmonton was victorious in six of their nine appearances (1975, and five straight from 1978–82).This was the last Grey Cup game played at CNE Stadium prior to its renovations in the mid-1970s in anticipation of receiving a Major League Baseball team in Toronto; it would come in the form of the Blue Jays in 1977.
