Praying for him.


Good to hear he's doing well. It was very strange in that it didn't seem like a play that would result in an injury. He may have taken a knee to the head and was stunned a bit?

The capital of Canada can't afford the electricity bills?  Maybe they voted to pay triple carbon tax...

I wonder if it has something to do with the move to LED lighting?  But I think SSK has it too and they are plenty bright.

Whatever it is, it really sucks and makes seeing details quite difficult.
When they switched streetlights to LED outside my residence about 9 years ago it seemed blinding, even now I find it bright.

I attach a pic of their lights, seems an odd mixture of 2 and 3 light stacks and all between the goal lines. Can't tell their power or what they aim at. People who attend games there seem to think it is good lighting.

Nearly halfway through this one. EEs are making the RBs look like complete amateur hour.

Is that what it is?  Always thought their turf looked gray even during day games, thought maybe it was a poor synthetic that doesn't hold it's colour well.

Encouraging update from Don Brennan (TwiXter @SunDoniB)

Good news. After suffering a scary looking injury in last night's #CFL game, Daniel Okpoko was released from hospital when all scans came back negative.

Knew it.  It'll go down as unexplained "we don't know".

Very glad to hear he's well.  Last thing we need in the CFL is a guy dying on the field.  Very good news.

Thanks, that is very interesting!  Then it could actually be the opposite.  It could be that the lights are TOO bright and thus the cams adjust to smaller aperture!  Could be something TSN could adjust for to get more light inside.

It could also be the quality or temperature of the lights.  Could be something that doesn't sync well with the cams.  LEDs emit light in pulses, not continuously, and it can conflict with camera framerates in weird ways.

As for the turf theory, I'm not sure because the players/uniforms also look very dark, not just the turf.

Bottom line: TSN/CFL should fix it because it's annoying as heck.  It's not our job to figure it out!  They're the ones with all the money!
