CFL news in 1970
3M Tartan Turf was installed at Vancouver's Empire Stadium , making it the first CFL venue to have artificial turf. The first sod was preserved and sent to Hamilton to be used as part of the future Canadian Football Hall of Fame building. The first CFL All-Star Game was held since 1958. The Montreal Alouettes are sold to former Ottawa Rough Rider owner Sam Berger , who changes their colours to green, white and red, and it is the beginning of a great dynasty in Montreal.
