Positive momentum is building towards CFL expansion in Quebec City, according to a new report. The tentative plan, which has yet to be formalized or presented to the government, would see the construction of a 25,000-seat open-air stadium on the site of the Colisée de Québec, the previous home of the NHL's Quebec Nordiques. That venue has been closed since 2015 and is slated for demolition in 2027, opening up prime real estate beside the Centre Vidéotron.

The cost of this new facility is estimated at $350 million, and it could be completed by 2030.

While Bouchard made clear that the idea was a long way from final approval, he indicated that prospective investors have already travelled to Toronto to meet with CFL commissioner Stewart Johnston and that the league is in the process of vetting them. One source working within the league told the commentator that they had complete confidence that Quebec City expansion would take place. A potential name for the franchise was even floated: L'Attaque de Québec.
