Fans at a CFL commissioner鈥檚 鈥渢own hall鈥� in Halifax were told the league and a prospective ownership group are maintaining a methodical approach to landing a franchise for the East Coast city, but no announcement is imminent.

Bid proponents Bruce Bowser and Anthony LeBlanc say they expect to have something more concrete to announce within a couple of months, but offered no specifics.

Both say talks are ongoing with various levels of government, including around potential funding arrangements for a stadium.

They say no commitments have been made 鈥� and it has been made clear to them any proposed plan would have to led by business concerns.

Commissioner Randy Ambrosie says the league is in 鈥渓ockstep鈥� with the bid group, and is working with them to advance business plans.

However, Ambrosie notes that the 鈥渂ig hurdle鈥� is getting a stadium commitment in place and the league doesn鈥檛 want to get ahead of itself until that issue is resolved.
