Edmonton Eskimos Tickets Continued
The Edmonton Eskimos are one of the most successful teams in Canadian football history, having won the Grey Cup more than any other team except the Toronto Argonauts, and being the run-away leader in attendance for many years.
The Edmonton Eskimos hold many impressive records, including five consecutive
Grey
Cup wins (1978 to 1982). They also are building a record of 34 consecutive
years in the playoffs and counting (1972 to 2005), a record no other North American
professional team (regardless of sport) has equalled. Former Edmonton
Eskimos have figured prominently in Alberta political life. Past players
include two provincial premiers (E. Peter Lougheed and Donald Getty), a mayor
of Edmonton (Bill Smith) and a lieutenant-governor (Norman Kwong).
